Regularly eating a variety of nutritious foods rich in vitamins and minerals may help boost your immune system and help to prevent those winter colds and infections.

The nutrients that keep our immune system working well include vitamins A, B6, B12, C and D as well as copper, folate, iron, selenium and zinc.
Having a healthy, varied diet including fruits and vegetables, nuts and seeds, wholegrains, dairy products or fortified alternatives, and meat, fish or plant proteins like pulses will keep your immune system strong. Plan your meals to include the below immune system boosting foods:
Ginger
Spinach
Yoghurt
Red Peppers
Sunflower Seeds
Turmeric
Citrus Fruits
Garlic
Green Tea
Kiwi
Poultry
Shellfish
Broccoli
Almonds
Papaya
Although eating a balanced diet is key to boosting your immunity, foods alone cannot and should not replace medical treatment, unless your healthcare professional recommends it.
