Feeding your body certain foods may help keep your immune system strong. If you’re looking for ways to minimise the risk of colds, flu and even COVID-19, your first step should be a visit to your local supermarket store.
With the 2019 coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic, it’s especially important to understand that no supplement, diet, or other lifestyle modification other than physical distancing, also known as social distancing, and proper hygiene practices can protect you from COVID-19.
The best thing to do for your immune system is to eat a balanced diet. That means making sure you get a good mix of all the food groups, avoid overly salty, sweet or processed foods, and eat at least five portions of fruit and vegetables a day.
There are certain foods that contain particularly high levels of vitamins and minerals known to boost the immune system.
