Foods That Can Help Boost The Body's Immune System When Consumed Often

Some foods may make a person's immune system stronger. Medicalnewstoday says that the following foods can help make the immune system stronger:

1. Fish with oil.


Omega-3 fatty acids can be found in all of these fish. Salmon, pilchards, and other types of oily fish are among them.


A 2014 report says that people who eat a lot of omega-3 fatty acids for a long time may be less likely to get rheumatoid arthritis (RA).


RA is a long-term autoimmune disease that happens when the immune system attacks a healthy part of the body instead of a sick part of the body.


Also good are potatoes.


Beta carotene is an antioxidant that makes the skin of sweet potatoes orange. Sweet potatoes are full of beta carotene. The orange color of the potato skin comes from beta carotene.


Beta carotene, which is found in many foods, is a source of vitamin A. It keeps the skin healthy and may even help protect it from harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays.


3. Ginger.


Ginger is used in many different dishes and desserts, and it is also used to make teas.


A review says that ginger has anti-inflammatory and antioxidative properties and is likely good for your health, so you should eat it. But there needs to be more research to find out if it can keep people from getting sick.


4. Garlic


Garlic might help prevent colds.


Putting garlic in your food is a common way to stay healthy and avoid getting sick.


One study looked at whether taking garlic supplements with allicin made it much less likely to catch a cold.


Because they took garlic supplements, the people who took garlic supplements had less than twice as many colds as the people who took a fake pill. But the researchers said that more work needs to be done.

5. A cup of green tea.


Green tea doesn't have as much caffeine as black tea or coffee, so people can drink it instead. It might also help your body fight off infections if you drink it.


Green tea has flavonoids like blueberries, which may help keep you from getting sick.
