Foods Strengthening Immunity power

The immune system which plays a very important role of fighting minor diseases and harmful bacteria on its own. Usually a person with a good immunity power is less prone to diseases. The immune system usually reminds me of anti-virus softwares and firewalls that are installed in computers. So how does this work ? The immune system is a complex interaction among the cells in many parts of the body. They work as a group and co-ordinate to protect the body from foreign invaders. There is no particular organ or something that does all this. Many organs like the brain, blood, liver, bone marrow, lymph system, spleen, thymus, skin and some endocrine glands work together to make up this wonderful immune system.

Let me list out some of most important foods that helps build up the body resistance.

  • Carrot
  • Curd or Yogurt
  • Fruits and Vegetables
  • Garlic
  • Low-fat foods
  • Mushroom
  • Zinc-Rich foods
I have already posted about the importance of carrot's role on the immune system and a general information about garlic and curd. You can use the search on the top to find them. Later I will post about the specific role of garlic and curd in immune system and about the rest I mentioned above.
