What you eat is an essential part of keeping yourself healthy. Food is the fuel that influences how your body will respond to stressors. Choosing foods that contain nutrients proven to support a healthy immune system should be a way of life if you are looking to reduce your risk of disease. To help you make good choices we have compiled a list of great immunity boosting food options. Scientific research agrees these 5 types of nutrients are highly important in maintaining a healthy immune system.[\/vc_column_text][split_line_heading animation_type=&#8221;default&#8221;]\n<h2>Vitamin C<\/h2>\n[\/split_line_heading][vc_column_text]A powerful antioxidant known for fighting free radicals which are unstable molecules in our body that damage the immune system. To add more vitamin C in your diet try these foods.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Citrus and Fruit Juices<\/li>\n<li>Kiwi fruit<\/li>\n<li>Red and green peppers<\/li>\n<li>Broccoli<\/li>\n<li>Strawberries<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;30&#8243;][split_line_heading animation_type=&#8221;default&#8221;]\n<h2>Vitamin E<\/h2>\n[\/split_line_heading][vc_column_text]Vitamin E is also an antioxidant that helps to neutralize free radicals in the body. Research suggests that Vitamin E can even help protect the body against several infectious diseases. It also suggests maintaining ample levels of vitamin E is crucial especially among older people. To get your fill of vitamin E, look to these foods:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Wheat germ oil<\/li>\n<li>Almonds<\/li>\n<li>Sunflower seeds<\/li>\n<li>Hazelnuts<\/li>\n<li>Citrus fruits and juices<\/li>\n<li>Peanut butter<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;30&#8243;][split_line_heading animation_type=&#8221;default&#8221;]\n<h2>Zinc<\/h2>\n[\/split_line_heading][vc_column_text]Zinc is an essential mineral involved in the production of certain immune cells. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) caution that even mildly low levels of zinc may impair your immune function. Here are some top food sources of zinc:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Oysters<\/li>\n<li>Baked beans<\/li>\n<li>Cashews<\/li>\n<li>Raisin bran<\/li>\n<li>Chickpeas<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;30&#8243;][split_line_heading animation_type=&#8221;default&#8221;]\n<h2>Carotenoids<\/h2>\n[\/split_line_heading][vc_column_text]Another type of antioxidant, carotenoids are a class of pigments found naturally in a number of plants. When consumed, carotenoids are converted into vitamin A (a nutrient that helps regulate the immune system).Carotenoids are better absorbed when cooked<br \/>\nor eaten with fat.<br \/>\nLook to these foods to boost your carotenoids:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Carrots<\/li>\n<li>Kale<\/li>\n<li>Apricots<\/li>\n<li>Papaya<\/li>\n<li>Mango<\/li>\n<li>Sweet potato<\/li>\n<li>Spinach<\/li>\n<li>Collard greens<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;30&#8243;][split_line_heading animation_type=&#8221;default&#8221;]\n<h2>Omega-3 Fatty Acids<\/h2>\n[\/split_line_heading][vc_column_text]Omega-3 fatty acids are a type of essential fatty acid known to suppress inflammation and keep the immune system in check. Although it&#8217;s not known whether omega-3s can help fight off infections (such as the common cold), research suggests that omega-3s can protect against autoimmune disorders like Crohn&#8217;s disease, ulcerative colitis, and rheumatoid arthritis. Try these omega-3-rich foods:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Oily fish (including mackerel, tuna, salmon, sardines, herring, and trout)<\/li>\n<li>Flaxseed<\/li>\n<li>Walnuts<\/li>\n<li>Chia seeds<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;30&#8243;][vc_column_text]Although good food choices are a large part of a healthy immune system, we should be reminded of 2 other key lifestyle factors that play a role. Get plenty of sleep and stay hydrated. Also keep in mind that taking a vitamin, mineral, or herbal supplement is no replacement for eating a variety of healthy food. There is limited evidence that supplements beyond filling nutritional gaps, make a difference. Make no mistake about it; eating healthfully \u2014 at least most of the time \u2014 is your best defense against diseases. And the best part? Good nutrition really does taste great.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\n<p style=\"text-align: left; font-size: .7em;\">1.CHUN OK, FLOEGEL A, CHUNG SJ, ET AL.ESTIMATION OF ANTIOXIDANT INTAKES FROM DIET AND SUPPLEMENTS IN U.S. ADULTS.JOURNAL OF NUTRITION. 2010;140(2):317\u2013324.<br \/>\n2.
