Sadly the central heating has just gone on!
Summer is a distant memory and the Christmas decorations are in the shops!!
Diets high in saturated or hydrogenated fats (think cakes, biscuits, crisps, pastry products) supress immunity.
So if you are have a low resistance to viruses NOW IS THE TIME TO CHANGE YOUR EATING HABITS FOR YOUR HEALTH!
Nuts and seeds (containing essential unsaturated fats), together with plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables (packed with countless vitamins and minerals) are the foods to eat to boost your immunity - the best choices are carrots, beetroot, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, watermelon, oranges, and kiwi fruit.
Viral infections can often cause increased mucus production. Foods to avoid if this happens are meat, dairy products, eggs and anything you think you may be allergic to.
No nutrients work alone in the body, so if you think you need a supplement to your diet consider one that has high strength multivitamins and minerals.
More about immune boosting herbs in my next blog.
STAY HEALTHY THIS WINTER!
