The five best immune-boosting foods
Well, we’re always on the lookout for that magical combination of just the right diet to make us live to 100. Here is just such a list, courtesy of realmuscleonline.com:
1. Garlic — for sulfur compounds which block enzymes that allow bad bacteria to take over otherwise healthy tissue.
2. Eggs — for zinc and iron (as well as protein and B vitamins) which are important for healthy immune function.
3. Mushrooms — which help in the production of white blood cells.
4. Green tea — full of those wonderful antioxidants and flavanoids.
5. Tomatoes — for vitamin C, beta carotene and folate.
In short, one omelet a day with a side of green tea ought to keep your engine running!
