Eat for Immunity

What you eat matters!

A proper diet is likely the most important factor in determining your immunity. Cambridge University did a study that found higher fruit and vegetable intake resulted in better immune responses. To read more about the study,

It's not just fruits and veggies that can help. Nuts, seeds, grains, and beans can also protect against harmful bacteria and give your immune system a boost. Avoid processed foods with added sugar to help immune-boosting foods can do their job.

Intake of adequate calories and micronutrients is vital for optimal immune function. Certain nutrient deficiencies are responsible for severely reducing the immune system's ability to respond.

There appears to be a distinct connection between nutrition and immunity in the elderly due to micronutrient malnutrition. Older people tend to eat less and often have less variety in their diets.

However, it's not just the elderly who need to worry. Anyone on a strict diet or who has poor eating habits can have a micronutrient deficiency.

Now before you go crazy and overeat (or over supplement) the foods listed in this article, note that prevention is key, and eating a balanced diet is the key to be healthy. Overcompensating by eating a large amount of immune-boosting foods will NOT save you or override your bad habits. So, eat a balanced healthy diet and make these foods part of your diet. That's it!
