️ Summary:
First things first, let us get on the same page by defining what the immune system actually is.

The immune system is the component of the body that is responsible for protecting it from invading microorganisms and viruses from the outside world. If something foreign, such as the influenza virus, has made its way into your body, this intricate system of cells, tissues, and organs will send the body an alarm.

Garlic

Garlic has long been valued for both its culinary and medicinal potential. Even the earliest civilizations were aware of its value in preventing infections.

To avoid getting sick, it is important to make your immune system stronger. The medicinal properties of garlic can be instrumental in strengthening the immune system.

Citrus Fruits

Increasing your consumption of vitamin C-rich foods is the first step in constructing a more robust immune system. Vitamin C can be found in citrus fruits like lemons and oranges. In order to ward off disease-causing microbes, your body requires this.

After getting a cold, most people immediately reach for vitamin C. Why? Because it strengthens your defenses against illness. Vitamin C may boost white blood cell production, which is important for fighting infections.

Chicken Soup

Chicken and turkey are two examples of vitamin B6-rich poultry. Nearly a third of the recommended daily value for B6 can be found in just 3 ounces of lean turkey or chicken meat.

Chicken soup is often recommended for those suffering from a cold or the flu, and it does help ease our symptoms. The soup's anti-inflammatory properties may make it useful for alleviating cold symptoms.

Sunflower Seeds

The high vitamin and mineral content of sunflower seeds makes them a useful tool in the fight against infectious diseases.

These include the minerals zinc and selenium, as well as phosphorus and magnesium, as well as vitamins B6 and E, and vitamins C and K.

Ginger.

The powerful anti-inflammatory effects of ginger tea on the immune system are just one of its many benefits.

Ginger is commonly given to people who are sick with the common cold, nausea, or vomiting because it is thought to have medicinal value in many cultures. Signs of inflammation include nausea and vomiting, which indicate a malfunctioning immune system.

Green Tea

There's a good reason why green tea is featured on so many "good for you" lists. It contains high concentrations of beneficial bioactive compounds like polyphenols, flavonoids, and other antioxidants.

Green tea has a positive effect on boosting the activity of regulatory 'T-cells' because of the beneficial compounds it contains. When it comes to preventing and treating autoimmune diseases, T-cells are indispensable.

Turmeric

In recent years, turmeric lattes have become increasingly mainstream. Have you ever wondered why? As it turns out, the health benefits of this bright yellow spice are through the roof!

The bitter and warm flavor of turmeric, a plant in the ginger family, is widely used in Asian cuisine. One of its most well-known applications is in curry dishes.
