4 Immune-boosting Foods You Should Eat To Recover From Sickness

Even while there isn’t a single diet that will cure all illnesses, eating the appropriate things might occasionally lessen symptoms and make you feel better.

 

However, keep in mind that what is effective for one individual may not be effective for another. Focusing on what makes you feel better and what sounds enticing is the best thing you can do when you’re feeling under the weather.

EDITOR’S PICK:

 

In this article on EKO HOT BLOG, we would be looking at immune boosting foods you should eat to recover from Sicknesses.

1. Citrus fruits and berries

Oranges, lemons, and grapefruits are just a few examples of citrus fruits that are rich in vitamin C and flavonoids. These boost immunity and reduce inflammation, both of which could aid in battling a fever.

 

According to some research, the flavonoid quercetin, which is also present in berries, may aid in the treatment of rhinovirus infections. The majority of common colds are brought on by this virus.

 

Fruit juices that are frozen and mushy can frequently relieve sore throats.

2. Herbal teas

Natural plant substances like polyphenols, flavonoids, and catechins are widely present in tea leaves. The immune system is boosted by these. Particularly, catechins may provide protection against specific influenza virus strains.

 

Echinacea tea has been suggested by some as a way to reduce the duration of cold and flu symptoms.

3. Nuts and seeds

Grab a handful of nuts or seeds for a satisfying snack that will help boost your body defenses. In addition to being high in magnesium, they are also a good source of vitamin E, an antioxidant that has been found to strengthen the body’s resistance to infections and viruses.

4. Garlic and onions

Sulfur compounds are what give garlic its distinct smell. Whether or not you enjoy the smell, garlic has positive effects on your health and immune system. This is due to allicin, which is produced when garlic is crushed or diced and is known for having antiviral and antibacterial effects.
