Boost the Immune System
Boost the Immune System
Now is the time to boost your immune system with cold, dry weather in most of the US. Some foods that will increase the number of white blood cells are: garlic, shitake mushrooms, dark meat turkey, and yogurt (with live active cultures). The white cell count won't be increased with fruits and vegetables but those foods will make the white cells stronger. Those that do the most good are deep orange and green--melons, oranges, carrots, and spinach. Too much fat will lower the strength of the immune system with the exception of fish oil which can boost it (remember cod liver oil given to children in the "old days"?).
