Now that the holidays are over it’s a good idea to start focusing on your health. Many people’s immune systems are neglected during the holiday season, even though the best ways to fight and prevent the cold and flu can easily be found in your very own kitchen. These superfoods are a great way to give your immune system a boost as they are rich in nutrients and packed with antioxidants and anti-inflammatory qualities. Below are a few of my favorite superfoods that keep me healthy and enable me to have a strong immune system all-year-round.

Yogurt also promotes healthy digestion thus aiding in the elimination of toxins.
