Cold and flu season is upon us! If you don’t want to be bogged down by illness (who does?), you should wash your hands diligently and try your best to avoid people who are sick around you. But another great trick is boosting your immune system to make sure it has all the fighting powers to ward off illness when it strikes.
An easy way to boost your immunity is with the foods you eat. Healthy food is packed with essential vitamins and nutrients your immune system needs in order to stay strong. When you eat unhealthy foods, you are weakening your immune system so it can’t fight off any impending threats as effectively.
Below you will find the best foods to eat in order to boost your immune system and ward off cold and flu.
