The immune system is what protects us from various diseases by identifying and destroying viruses, bacteria, tumor cells, etc. Most experts believe that adequately feeding your immune system can boost its fighting powers.

Foods rich in vitamins A, C and E and minerals like zinc, selenium and omega-3 fatty acids and regular exercise have all shown to be beneficial in boosting immune system.

Along with this, it is important to keep in mind that factors such as lack of sleep, too much alcohol, sugars and refined foods and too much fat can adversely affect the immune system.

From the day we are born to the last day on this earth, our immune system would continue to protect our bodies from enemies (like diseases!), and keep us in good health. Let's protect this important function of our body by boosting it with great foods and a health-filled lifestyle.
