PLEASE NOTE: These are not meant to be taken as a cure.

1. Get Zesty with Citrus

Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin that is found in many citrus fruits that is also an antioxidant. Not only does Vitamin C repair tissues in our body, but it is also thought to heighten white blood cell production which is the most important key to fighting colds, infections, and viruses.

Some flavorful citrus fruits include:

• Grapefruit
• Oranges
• Lemons
• Limes
• Clementines

2. Get Crackin with Shellfish

 When we think of building our immunity we never think of eating shellfish. A majority of shellfish are filled with Zinc, a mineral that has antioxidants that can help with healing wounds and creating proteins.

Some shellfish that are high in zinc include:

• Lobster
• Clams
• Crab

3. Yogurt

Yogurts that have live and active cultures on the label are the types of yogurts than can help your immune system. Yogurt is high in Vitamin D which can help regulate your body’s immune system along with building up your immunity against diseases.  You can also add fruits along to your yogurt!
