Foods that boost your immune system

  • View Larger Image Boost your immune system
With Autumn’s changing weather approaching, it’s important to keep your immune system in top condition to ward off illnesses and give you the best chance of staving off and combating bacterial, fungal, and viral infections.

These foods are not only delicious, but nutritious, and have been shown to be effective in giving your immune system the best fighting chance of keeping you healthy and strong, as has been indicated in numerous studies.

Ginger

When it comes to treating the common cold, ginger is one of the greatest foods for relief. In a review published in the International Journal of Preventative Medicine, researchers summarized that ginger’s potent anti-inflammatory properties were key in the its power to combat a cold or flu.

Since Inflammation can affect your body’s immune response, anti-inflammatory foods such as ginger can play a key role in boosting your immunity.

Research indicates that, because of its inherant antioxidant properties, it helps to reduce systemic inflammation. When the body has less inflammation to deal with, the immune system can do a better job of fending off harmful external assaults.

Foods that contain ginger, such as Lydia’s Ginger Nori Sprouted Crackers, may also:

  • Reduce the risk for certain cancers
  • Alleviate nausea
  • Reduce chronic pain
  • as well because of its anti-inflammatory properties
  • Control blood sugar in people with type 2 diabetes
  • Lower cholesterol
  • Ease cold symptoms

Studies also indicate that ginger may posess antimicrobrial properties.

Almonds

Almonds are an excellent source of vitamin E. They also contain manganese, magnesium, and fiber, and may benefit the immune system.

Vitamin E found in Almonds has been indicated to help prevent and fight off colds. This powerful antioxidant, found in Lydia’s Super Spirulina Sprouted Bars, has been indicated as a key nutrient to support a healthy immune system.

Nuts, such as almonds, found in Lydia’s Apple Crunch Sprouted Grainless Cereal and in Lydia’s Ginger Nori Sprouted Crackers contain vitamin E, which also has purportedly healthy fats for optimal health.

Rosemary

Rosemary isn’t just a tasty herb found in foods such as Lydia’s Herbs de Provence Sprouted Kale Chips —it’s also a purportedly fantastic anti-inflammatory and is a rich source of antioxidants.

Critical Reviews in Food Science and Nutrition noted that many herbs, such as rosemary, contain antioxidants that serve as anti-inflammatory agents in the body. This anti-inflammatory effect allows for optimal digestive and gut health, leading to a boost in your immune system to help stave off infection.

Apples

“An apple a day can keep the doctor away,” is an age-old saying with good reasons; apples are among the most nutritious of fruits in the world. Apples can help your body meet its maximum nutritional needs and may help strengthen your immune system. Enriched with antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and healthy fibers, apples may help build resistance against viruses, bacteria and disease.

Apples, found in Lydia’s Apple Crunch Sprouted Grainless Cereal, have been indicated in help preventing illnesses such as the common cold. This delicous fruit contains phytochemical antioxidants, according to a study published in Nutrition Journal. These antioxidants may help boost immunity and reduce the risk of chronic diseases.

Lydia’s Apples, as well as every ingredient we use are 100% organic. Non-organic apples are among the most contaminated foods, according to agricultural activist group Environmental Working Group’s 2019 “Dirty Dozen” report.

Apples are a rich source of phytonutrients, and some studies have linked the fruit to reduced risk of certain cancers, cardiovascular disease, asthma, and diabetes. Apples also act as antioxidants, which some research suggests can help remove carcinogens from the body.

Sunflower Seed

Sunflower seed, found in Lydia’s Herbs de Provence Sprouted Kale Chips, are a rich source of vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant.

In the same way as other antioxidants, vitamin E has been shown toimprove immune function. It does this by fighting off free radicals, which can damage cells.

Sunflower seeds, which are also an ingredients in Lydia’s Italian Herb Sprouted Crackers are full of nutrients, including phosphorous, magnesium, and vitamins B-6 and E.

Sunflower seeds, which are also in Lydia’s Apple Crunch Sprouted Grainless Cereal, Lydia’s Ginger Nori Sprouted Crackers, and Lydia’s Super Spirulina Sprouted Bars are also incredibly high in selenium. Just 1 ounce of sunflower seed contains nearly half the selenium that the average adult needs daily. A variety of studies, have looked at its potential to help combat viral infections such as swine flu (H1N1).

Kale

This leafy green super food, found in Lydia’s Herbs de Provence Sprouted Kale Chips, not only contains plenty of vitamin C and calcium, but also contains significant amounts of vitamins A and E. According to 2018 research in the Journal of Clinical Medicine, Vitamin A helps regulate the cellular immune response, and vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant, and vitamin C has been shown to be effective in boosting the immune system.

Kale is loaded with flavonoids, which research suggests may have anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic, anti-cancer, and neuroprotective activities. Kale is also rich in organosulfur compounds, which have been shown to be important for gut health.

Walnuts

Walnuts are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, one of the purportedly healthy fats, which have been shown to play an important role in reducing bad cholesterol and keeping the nervous system healthy. Good fats may boost the immune system by enhancing the function of immune B cells, which are key in producing disease-fighting antibodies. Walnuts, found in Lydia’s Apple Crunch Sprouted Grainless Cereal are also rich in healthy-important minerals such as magnesium, manganese, and zinc, as well as a lot of protein.

Carrots

Carrots have been indicated in protecting the eyes due to their high amount of vitamin A, which also may also help reduce the risk of certain cancers. Carrots an ingredients in both Lydia’s Ginger Nori Sprouted Crackers and Lydia’s Italian Herb Sprouted Crackers are also rich in fiber for proper gut health, as well as possessing antioxidants, potassium, and vitamin C. Carrots have also been indicated in promoting oral health by helping clean the teeth and gums by removing plaque and freshening the breath.
