Eating to Enhance your Immune System

[Guest guest]

Boosting the Immune System Through Foods We Eat and Don't Eat:

Foods that Increase your Immunity so that your Body can Fight Disease

" Nutrition plays an important part in maintaining immune function, " explains

L. Blackburn, M.D., Ph.D., associate director of the division of

nutrition at Harvard Medical School in Boston, Massachusetts. " Insufficiency in

one or more essential nutrients may prevent the immune system from functioning

at its peak. "

A healthy diet builds a strong immune system and helps you fight disease, such

as Hepatitis C. A healthy diet positively affects your mood and allows you to

cope with stress better. Eating for a strong immune system can involve a

lifestyle change for some, but it is well worth it!

Try These Foods To Boost Your immunity!

1. Vegetables are huge for enhancing the immune system. Asparagus is very high

in Vitamin C which increases the production of infection-fighting white blood

cells and antibodies and increases levels of interferon, the antibody that coats

cell surfaces, preventing the entry of viruses. Carrots and sweet potatoes

contain high amounts of beta carotene which increases the number of

infection-fighting cells, natural killer cells, and helper T-cells, as well as

enhance the ability of the natural killer cells to attack cancer cells.

Vegetables are the best source of the vitamins, minerals, and phytochemicals

that are known to protect the body against many diseases, including cancer. They

are best prepared lightly steamed or sauted in olive oil or juiced. You can

spice with turmeric (a good anti-inflammatory.)

2. Fresh fruits are also great for the immune system. Berries are particularly

noted for their cancer preventative abilities and high antioxidant content.

Blueberries, nature's only 'blue' food, are a rich source of polyphenols, potent

antioxidants that include phenolics acids, tannins, flavonols and anthocyanins.

Pomegranate fruit seeds appear to enhance immune function as well as help keep

blood lipid levels healthy. The phytochemicals that color fruits serve as

antioxidants that promote immune function, says sen, Ph.D., a

research scientist with the USDA's Western Human Nutrition Research Center at

the University of California, . " These nutrients help ensure that

lymphocytes can divide and reproduce properly in response to a virus and that

the neutrophils and macrophages that engulf and kill invading bacteria can do

their job, " sen says. Try to eat two different color fruits or vegetables

at each meal to maximize the variety of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants you

are getting.
