7 foods to boost your immunity this Summer

Our immune system defends our body from numerous dangerous germs including viruses, bacteria, and others from entering. Immunity boosters work to increase our immunity, as the name says. Immunity boosters can be found in many foods we eat every day or in the form of medications like vitamin tablets. If you spend a lot of time outside, especially in the summer, it can be really draining on your energies. Here are some immunity booster foods you may add to your diet to help this summer season.

Citrus fruits

It should come as no surprise that citrus fruits are rich in vitamins A, B6, C, and a number of other nutrients. A glass of honey lemon water before work or right when you wake up can help strengthen your immune system and give you energy for the rest of the day. Oranges can also be a healthy and reviving summertime snack.

Green tea

Many people now view green tea as a healthier alternative to hot drinks like masala chai and coffee. In addition to aiding in weight management or loss, green tea also strengthens the immune system. For those who prefer warm drinks in the summer, this is a fantastic substitute to strengthen immunity and hydrate the body.

Curd

Yogurt and curd are excellent summertime foods for our bodies. Probiotics are prevalent in curd. Probiotics are excellent immune system enhancers and have a wide range of advantages. They maintain the health of your heart, digestion, and allergies in addition to boosting immunity. You may add curd to your diet by eating it as a side dish with your lunch or as a dessert by mixing it with honey.

Ginger

One of nature's superfoods is ginger. Superfoods are foods that are extremely nutrient-dense and extremely good for the body. Numerous health advantages of ginger include its ability to protect the body from illnesses and disease-carrying organisms. By adding some fresh ginger to your fruit or vegetable juice, you can eat ginger.

Button mushrooms

Don't underestimate mushrooms despite the fact that this immune booster may come as a bit of a surprise. Niacin and riboflavin, which enhance the immune system and are abundant in button mushrooms, are also very healthy for the body. Making mushroom curry or using button mushrooms as a topping to morning toast are two ways to include them in your diet.

Sweet potato

In addition to being one of the best immunity booster foods, sweet potatoes are a fantastic source of nutrients. It can also be used in place of potatoes in your dishes because it is a much healthier alternative.

Garlic

Garlic is regarded as a superfood that can be included in your diet, just as ginger. Garlic contains powerful antimicrobial qualities that help keep bacteria, fungus, and other microbes at bay.

Fruit juice

Consuming fresh fruit juice on a regular basis is the best approach to prevent illnesses and boost immunity during summer. Fruits hydrate and refill the body, which improves the body's defences against sickness.
