Here are some good tips:

Blueberry – is packed with vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. Blueberries not only gives you better memory and night vision, but also contains the antioxidant anthocyanins, which seems anti-inflammatory. It is also found in raspberries, blackberries and black currants.

Broccoli and Brussels sprouts – Contains vitamin C which increases the production of white blood cells and antibodies that protect against infection.

Good meat – contains zinc, iron and essential amino acids that strengthen your blood. Meat gives you the full proteins that are good for muscle building. The protein has a lower energy value than carbohydrates and also gives you a longer sense of satiety.

Ginger – Seems bactericidal. Works both in preventive and relief when you’ve already caught a cold. Tear down the food or make hot ginger tea. Mix in lemon juice or orange. For a little sweetness, stir in a teaspoon of honey. Both good and useful.

Salmon – Contains Omega -3, which is said to lower blood fats and blood pressure, maintain blood vessel elasticity (good for blood circulation) and protects against cardiovascular disease. Omega -3 also lubricates the skin from the inside which is especially good now that it is cold and dry. It provides strong and soft lining.

Beetroot – contains vitamin C and folic acid is good for cell formation. They are very rich in fiber which is good for the digestive function.

Garlic – has long been known as a healing spice that is anti-inflammatory. It also stimulates production of white blood cells that are our soldiers when we get sick. Revel in garlic.
