6 nutrients to strengthen immunity

Tomato
Tomatoes contain many nutrients, but their magic ingredient is a substance called lycopene. Lycopene is a natural pigment that gives some vegetables and fruits their red color. Lycopene is a great antioxidant. It not only removes free radicals but also supports the body's own protection mechanism against oxidative stress and inflammation.

Turmeric
Turmeric has anti-inflammatory (anti-inflammatory) properties, reduces inflammation. You can add turmeric to your food as a spice or consume it as a tea. You can add some honey to increase the flavor and benefit of your turmeric tea.


Red pepper
Red peppers contain many antioxidants and are rich in fiber and vitamin C. It can be consumed raw or cooked. They help nourish your immune system by providing the oxygen your cells need to fight viruses and bacteria.

Green pepper
Green peppers are also full of antioxidants. Antioxidants are molecules in our body that fight free radicals (compounds that can cause damage if their levels get too high). Green peppers provide a nice antioxidant explosion when consumed raw.

Oily fish
Fatty fish such as salmon and mackerel are rich in Vitamin D and omega 3 fatty acids that help control inflammation in the body. Chronic inflammation can weaken and impair the function of our immune systems.

Orange
Oranges should definitely be included in the list because they are rich in vitamin C, which can increase the production of white blood cells. These are the keys to fighting infections. In fact, they don't contain as much sugar as many people think. You can eat at least one orange a day.
