Citrus fruits such as oranges, lemons, grapefruits, and limes are rich sources of vitamin C, which helps strengthen the immune system. Increase your vitamin C intake by squeezing fresh citrus juices or consuming the fruits directly.
Turmeric contains curcumin, a compound known for its powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Add turmeric to your meals or enjoy turmeric milk (golden milk) to support your immune system.
Ginger possesses antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties that can combat infections. Make ginger tea by steeping freshly grated ginger in hot water. You can also incorporate ginger into your cooking or consume it raw.
Garlic has immune-boosting properties and contains allicin, a compound with antibacterial and antiviral effects. Enhance your meals by adding crushed garlic or prepare garlic-infused honey for added benefits.
Honey is renowned for its antimicrobial properties and can provide relief for a sore throat. Mix honey with warm water or herbal teas to enjoy a soothing and immune-boosting beverage. However, avoid giving honey to infants under one year old.
