What should be included in a regular diet to increase immunity?

The immune system is a network of biological processes that protects an organism from diseases. It detects and responds to a wide variety of pathogens, from viruses to parasitic worms, as well as cancer cells and objects such as wood splinters, distinguishing them from the organism’s own healthy tissue.

Sources to increase immunity:- 

Citrus fruits :- citrus fruits are high in vitamin C. With such a variety to choose from, it’s easy to add a squeeze of this vitamin to any meal.

Red bell peppers :- red bell peppers contain almost 3 times as much vitamin C. They’re also a rich source of beta carotene.

Broccoli :- Broccoli is supercharged with vitamins and minerals. Packed with vitamins A, C, and E, as well as fiber and many other antioxidants, broccoli is one of the healthiest vegetables you can put on your plate.

Garlic :- Garlic is found in almost every cuisine in the world. It adds a little zing to food and it’s a must-have for your health.

Ginger :- Ginger is another ingredient many turn to after getting sick. Ginger may help decrease inflammation, which can help reduce a sore throat and inflammatory illnesses. Ginger may help with nausea as well.

Spinach:- Spinach made our list not just because it’s rich in vitamin C. it’s also packed with numerous antioxidants and beta carotene, which may both increase the infection-fighting ability of our immune systems and a great immunity booster.

Yogurt:- Yogurt can also be a great source of vitamin D, so try to select brands fortified with this vitamin. Vitamin D helps regulate the immune system and is thought to boost our body’s natural defenses against diseases.

Almonds :- It’s a fat-soluble vitamin, which means it requires the presence of fat to be absorbed properly. Nuts, such as almonds, are packed with the vitamin and also have healthy fats.
