A healthy body can be maintained by following three practices: get enough exercise, drink a lot of water, and eat foods that are healthy and nutritious. Even though these are good rules to follow, they're kind of vague. We need more specific information. Not all nutritious foods have the nutrients specifically required by your immune system to keep it healthy. Superfoods are the name given to any food that provides abundant nutrients, such as those that are beneficial to the immune system. What are some of those foods? Which foods will help your immune system stay healthy? Keep reading this article to find out.

However, is it enough when the weather changes and flu season arrives? Are the people at your workplace or school coming down with colds? Are you trying to avoid them so you don't get sick? This is exactly when you need to know how to make your immune system stronger. The three superfoods we talk about below will help you with this.

There are many types of T Cells, which are activated by zinc. T-cells are important because they help keep the immune system strong. A 100 gram portion of wheat germ has seventeen milligrams of zinc in it which is much more than the daily recommended amount your body needs to stay healthy. A variety of dishes lend themselves to having wheat germ added. If you just make a habit of sprinkling some wheat germ on your food, you will find it easy to get enough each day. It has a great flavor that doesn't detract from whatever it is that you are making.

Do you like vegetable juice? It's one of the easiest ways to strengthen your immune system, as well as supplying your body with vitamins and minerals. You've seen the commercials for V-8 Juice in which they talk about how good it is for your body. Those commercials knew what they were talking about. You don't have to be loyal to V-8 Juice, though. Many folks have bought a juicer and make their own juices. This gives folks the choice of which vegetables and spices to use, plus they can vary their juices instead of always drinking the same flavor. Besides perking up your immune system, drinking vegetable juices helps keep you healthy by adding necessary fluids, minerals, and vitamins to your diet.

Garlic does more than protect you against vampires - just kidding. It's one of the best immune strengthening foods you can eat. Do you have a problem with the odor of fresh garlic? If you do, just think about all the immune boosting nutrients that are packed into that little, smelly clove. The best way to get to these compounds is to eat the garlic raw. It may seem strong, but if you want the best results, just chop up a fresh clove and swallow it down. If you can't bring yourself to do it, adding chopped garlic into the food your cooking is a great way to add flavor to your meals while also improving your immune system at the same time. Garlic is great so don't skimp on using it. The more you can consume, but more advantageous to your health.

Unfortunately, vampires can't benefit from this great food that strengthens your immune system - it's garlic. Sure it's smelly but it is packed with immune boosting compounds. If you really want to benefit from the nutrient dense garlic cloves, it's better to eat them uncooked. Obviously this is going to pack quite a punch, but if you really want the superfood power, this is how the garlic must be eaten. You will still get many of the benefits from garlic if you have to include it in the food you cook instead of eating it raw. This will give what you cook that great garlic flavor and boost your immune system as well. Garlic is great so don't skimp on using it. The more you can consume, but more advantageous to your health.

You can find different superfoods to help with whatever health concerns you might have. I've even seen a book with over 100 superfoods explained. For the most part, these are foods that are easy enough to cook into the other foods you eat at meals. We've given you some ideas on how to include three of the immune system boosting superfoods into your daily regimen. Nevertheless, this is just the start of foods you can discover to make your immune system stronger. Don't stop searching for other superfoods to add to your diet. Do your research and you will find many more to include in your daily diet.
