Immune System Superfoods That Your Body Needs to Stay Healthy

By Dave Rehor


The commonly known method to stay healthy is familiar to most of us. Eat a healthy, balanced diet. Drink enough water so you stay hydrated. Exercise 3-5 times each week. That's nice to know, but they don't get specific and detail exactly what we must do. Some food is better for your health, and your immune system, than others. Superfoods are the name given to any food that provides abundant nutrients, such as those that are beneficial to the immune system. Our focus in this report is to answer the questions: what are these foods? and which ones will strengthen our immune system?

Add Brazil Nuts to your diet! They have an abundant supply of selenium. They are actually one of the best and most important sources of selenium you can find. Free radicals are blocked from causing cell deterioration by selenium. It can also protect you against heart disease, cancer, and a variety of infections. Sometimes a bacteria takes hold in your gut. Selenium fights this condition. Brazil Nuts are easy to add to foods while you cook. Toss a handful into your salad for a great tasting protein boost. You can even eat them plain and as a snack. Tea is a wonderful superfood and, in order to experience optimum health and super-charge your immune system, you need to drink tea every single day. Obviously when you want to stay healthy, you need to drink a lot of fluids. Your T cells need interferon to maintain their optimum health. Scientific test have concluded that if you drink 20 ounces of tea each and every day, your level of interferon will increase. Interferon protects your T cells so that when your body is being exposed to germs and/or bacteria that cause illnesses, the T cells remain safe. It's really not important what kind of tea you drink. However, read about the many delicious herbal teas and take note of the other benefits they offer as well.

Another superfood for the immune system that a lot of people don't think about are sunflower seeds. Vitamin E is the secret sauce in sunflower seeds. Vitamin E helps your body by keeping your mucous membranes, such as your sinuses, healthy.

It's important for these membranes to stay healthy, because they fight infections when they first begin. It's easy to add sunflowers to your day. Just substitute them for the chips and other salty junk foods you normally eat. Try sprinkling sunflower seeds (without the shells) in your salad. This will help your immune system and increase the amount of protein your salad contains. It makes sense why sunflower seeds are one of nature's superfoods for strengthening your immune system.

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. Nonetheless, these superfoods are just a small sample of those that can help strengthen your immune system. As you continue to work, research and do your homework, you'll come up with plenty of others.
