What are some fruits and veggies that can help boost the immune system?
Answers:
Oranges have LOTS of Vitamin C---helps prevents colds, etc. Try drinking Echanachia(sp?) tea....VERY GOOD FOR YOUR immune system! 2 cups a day is good. make sure to drink lots of water too! Rock on H20!
Citrus fruits like oranges and lemons help a lot.
Be careful. those fruits have also threatened our immune for the country as a whole. They brought as AIDS
the red, orange and bright fruits as well as the brilliant greens are usually high in antioxidants
The citrus fruits are high in C as is tomatoe juice and thus good for your immune system
Bannanas are high in potassium.
ALL fruits and veggies are good for you and help keep you healthy
oranges, tomatoes, strawberries, raspberries, mango, pineapple, peaches - sources of Vitamin C
blueberries, strawberries, raspberries and red grapes - sources of antioxidants
Anything that is bright in color has health benefits. Just remember to eat the rainbow.
Ginger is a really great source for that. I would also suggest anything with lots of Vitamin C (citrusy fruits) such as grapefruit, oranges, tangerines, lemons, etc.
think colors and eat some of each color every day.
by the way, idiot doc answered that fruits and veggies brought us aids. wrong.
the aids virus does not spread by food.
but all fruits and vegetables should be carefully washed before they are cut and eaten.
Onions, garlic, and ginger root are the 3 most potent antiviral foods. all are stronger raw. Antiviral drugs are few. Interferon was about $1500 a treatment for cancer. I'm not sure what is now. As far as vitamin concentration, choose the brightest colored eg. red peppers, carrots, broccoli . Potatoes with the skin on have more potassium than bananas.
Soybean products and bananas. Bananas is the king of fruits, it boosts immune system, reduces stress and good for maintaining blood sugar (diabetes patients can eat bananas, it save their lives!).
turmeric as a spice-good antibiotic
Carrots, yellow squash, dark green leafy vegetables, tomatoes, papaya and oranges - all these have vitamin A which helps the immune system. Vitamin E stimulates the immune system and it's major source is vegetable oils. Vitamin C also helps boost the immune system and dietary sources include spinach, tomatoes, potatoes (very little though), broccoli, strawberries and citrus fruits.
most will to some extent, but especially ones with lots of vitamin C. citrus, strawberries, bell peppers
