While the world spins madly on right now and I can offer no solutions, only hope and prayers, we are doing what we can over here to stay as healthy and stay at home as much as possible. Every time I order our groceries, I am making sure we are buying fresh organic (when possible) produce especially ones that boost the immune system like asparagus.
According to Dr. Axe (who is an amazing resource!) the top foods for boosting your immune system include:
Fruits: apples, oranges, lemons, limes, kiwi, papaya, melons, berries
Vegetables: bell peppers, broccoli, spinach, tomatoes, kale, cauliflower
Nuts: almonds, walnuts, pistachios, macadamia nuts, Brazil nuts
Seeds: chia seeds, sunflower seeds, flax seeds
Protein Foods: grass-fed beef, wild-caught fish, free-range poultry, eggs, tempeh, yogurt, legumes
Whole Grains: couscous, quinoa, brown rice, oats, farro, barley, buckwheat
Fats and Oils: avocados, olive oil, coconut oil, grass-fed butter
Herbs and Spices: ginger, garlic, cinnamon, black pepper
Beverages: green tea, kombucha, coconut water, kefir
I hope this was helpful for your next grocery trip (or delivery order!). Let me know what your family is consuming to boost your immune system!
