Editor's Note

WE ARE what we eat!

With this in mind, it is important that we choose wisely and eat food that helps boost our immunity, fights infection and keeps us healthy and fit. With the cold and flu season in full force, we need to make sure our immune system is strong and ready to fight off viruses, bacteria or any other foreign particle that can have an adverse reaction to our health.

As a response to these pathogens, the immune system releases antibodies that attack and kill these particles, but for the system to be strong, one has to incorporate the right food and diet that will help it strengthen.

One way in which we can ensure good health and well-being is to make sure we are taking enough immune-boosting nutrients through our daily diet.

In some cases, food can be a powerful medicine. Certain foods contain essential nutrients that boost the immune system, providing vital nutrients. Luckily, there is no end to how many immune boosting foods are out there. While eating these foods may not guarantee you will never get sick again, there are foods with plenty of nutrients and benefits to keep you healthy.

In this magazine, we take a look into some of the best foods that boost immunity, what makes them so great, and how much you should be eating to ensure you receive the full benefits.
