…from Prevention Magazine, November 2006 issue.
1. Fish…Shellfish like lobster, oysters, clams and crabs contain selenium that produces proteins that clear flu viruses out of your body. Salmon, mackerel and herring have that crazy Omega 3 oils that everyone is talking about…2 servings a week.
2. Oats and Barley…contain a type of fiber that is more potent than echinacea..1 daily in your 3 daily servings of whole grains.
3. Garlic…fights infection and bacteria…2 raw cloves a day(!) plus crushed garlic to your cooking every day.
4. Yogurt…has “healthy” bacteria that can keep your digestive system free of germs that could cause disease…2 6-ounce servings a day.
5. Chicken soup…a study of 13 brands showed that all but one blocked the migration if inflammatory white blood cells. Chicken and added spices increase the immune-boosting effects…a bowl when you are feeling under the weather.
6. Tea…black and green are great for boosting immune system and increasing anti-oxidants in your body…drink several cups a day.
