Do You Know Which Superfoods Your Immune System Can Use to Keep Your Body Healthy?

By Toby Stelly


I imagine you, like most other people, do not relish the idea of being sick. Most of us take measures to protect our bodies from catching a virus and ending up with influenza or a bad cold. We go out of our way to stay clear of anyone who appears to be sick, don't we? We buy lots of hand sanitizer. We buy diet supplements by the ton. Some people seem to consume more supplements than food. It's easy to be overwhelmed with all of the information that's introduced daily on different ways to keep your health. The problem is that we aren't always aware of the best superfoods to eat for boosting our immune system so we stay healthy. All we've been taught is to eat a healthy diet that is balanced in all the food groups. Below you will find a few superfoods to include in your weekly diet. They will give your immune system a boost.

While most people don't think of meat products necessarily as superfoods, pork chops are, indeed, a superfood for your immune system. If you don't eat meat, or at least not pork, you probably won't find this superfood useful, even though it's a true superfood. Just 6-ounces of pork chops per day can reverse rapid weight loss when it isn't desirable. It's not uncommon for an individual to lose weight when they are ill; however, if pork chops are included in their diet, the weight loss should stop. I imagine a lot of you don't believe that it's a good idea to eat pork chops daily. The good news for people with cancer, is that pork chops provide a lot of selenium. Selenium is a natural antioxidant which fights cancer. One good thing about pork chops is that there is no limit to the different ways you can cook and serve them. Boredom won't set in, that's for sure.

Raw kale is what you want to eat, as it's better for you than cooked kale. Raw kale is one of the very best forms of vitamin C that you can find. Other benefits of kale include its high fiber and low sugar content. Raw kale is quite a lot better for you than cooked kale, because the cooking of the kale reduces the amount of vitamin C that you take in.

Vitamin C doesn't survive well when it's exposed to the cooking process. So, when you add kale to your diet, such as in salads, be sure it's raw. In order to include this important Vitamin C in your diet, and strengthen your immune system, plan at least one meal a week to include raw kale.

You can find different superfoods to help with whatever health concerns you might have. I've even seen a book with over 100 superfoods explained. Once you are aware of which superfoods can enhance your health, it's an easy matter to start incorporating them into the meals you already know how to prepare. This article has made you aware of three superfoods that are easy to include in your diet. You now have information on three superfoods that are helpful in increasing the strength of your immune system; however, there are many, many more. Continue with your research on superfoods and you will find that there are many that can help you maintain your health.
