I’ve spent many years studying what immune system boosting foods are. Having a healthy immune system requires creating fertile ground in the body, developing and cultivating an environment where the immune system can be strong and healthy.

First of all when looking at how to improve the immune system we want to make sure that the body is clean and getting lots of healthy fluids. This will move us in the alkaline direction which is supported with pure water and green supplements. Some fluids that assist the immune system that we can include on a regular basis are pure water, green, white and other herbal teas, raw fresh fruit and vegetable juices.

Learn more about this in my book, “”Super Immunity Secrets” where there are recipes, and references to studies on spices and herbs used for thousands of years in ancient Egypt, the Mayans, ancient Rome, ancient Greece, India and China.

When we include these immune system boosting foods in our diet, we begin to create a really strong immune capability, that supports us and keeps us healthy when illnesses are going on around us and other people are taking drugs to get well. We actually discover that we can stay well and be well because of the diet that we eat when we include foods for the immune system.

Be sure to include garlic and onions which both have a compound called allicin, which is very similar to penicillin, offering natural antibiotic properties. There are many varieties of onion and garlic to include, such as shallots, scallions, garlic chives and more along with traditional garlic and onion bulbs. Enjoy chopping them up and adding to soups and other dishes, and you won’t even notice they’re there.

Some of the other spices that are amazing and awesome are cumin, curry, coriander, cinnamon, and turmeric which has been shown to be as strong an anti-inflammatory as the common drug Hydrocortisone. Dill weed and basil are powerful and potent and oregano is an incredible herb for helping support the immune system.

These are just some of the incredible herbs and spices to add in our diet and various recipes to make are food taste better and make the immune system thrive.
