What else boosts your immune system besides onions?!
Question: Eating fresh foods rich in antioxidants A, C, E and Zinc selenium and those rich in the EFA's (essential fatty acids) will all boost your immune system and function best together ?
ie ~ Vitamin A ~ liver, dark green and yellow vegies, carotts, pumpkin and yellow fruits;
Without enough Vitamin A in your system no amount of potions or lotion will ever give you that rosy glow. Vitamin A will also work to protect the mucosal linings of your ear nose and throat ?
Vitamin C ~ citrus fruits such as lemons, limes and oranges, strawberries and blackberries, leafy and green vegies, red and green peppers and tomatoes and potatoes.
Vitamin C extends life by enabling protein cells to bind together and also aids in preventing many types of viruses and bacterial infections.
Vitamin E ~ wheat germ, vegetable oils (olive oil), nuts, leafy and green vegies, spinach broccoli, whole wheat, whole grain cereals and eggs.
vitamin E will keep you looking younger by retarding cellular aging due to oxidation (by plumping out those lines and extending the life of your cells) and also protect your lungs against air pollution by working with vitamin A.
Selenium ~ seafood, liver, wheat germ, bran, tuna fish, onions, tomatoes, broccoli, garlic and brown rice.
Selenium works in tandem with vitamin E thus they increase each others potency. selenium is another antioxidant that will slow the aging process for you.
Zinc ~ essential for protein synthesis and collagen formation.
Zinc also increases the power of vitamin C ten fold ?
foods rich in zinc are ~ meat, liver, seafood (especially oysters), wheat germ, pumpkin seeds, eggs and ground mustard.
Pump up your fresh filtered water intake on a daily basis too to hydrate your body properly and plump up your skin and maintain your health, youth and vitality...... you need at least 2 - 3 litres of water per day. Geez, we need at 2 litres daily just to maintain aspiration (to breath!!)........... :0)
Also try to cut back on B complex vitamin thieves such as caffeine, tea, sodas and soft drinks and alcohol if you drink any as they will also dehydrate you terribly.
Take a multi B complex supplement also,particularly if you are lactose intolerant or vegetarian ~ get one including all the B's ie ~ B1, B2, B3, B5, B6 and B12...... as they all work best as a group.... Don't buy any of the B complex of vitamins individually unless specifically instructed to do so by a nutritionally oriented physician or naturopath ?
The whole and natural food will always be the most nutritious and easiest to assimilate ?
Other things that will rob you of your precious B complex of vitamins are ~ antiobiotics, antidepressants, laxatives and diuretics, otc cold and flu meds .................. when we're under stress our B vitamins will be depleted first hun so bolster your immune, digestive and neural system by taking a B complex supplement ?
take care of you & hope i helped a bit ?

In addition to the good nutritional answers above, exercise is essential for your immune system.
Why? It has to do with your lymphatic system, which transports white blood cells (infection and virus attacking). Your lymphatic system is your body's main immune system.
The lymphatic system is a separate system from your blood circulatory system, and it does not have a pump! It depends on muscle contraction to get the lymph (the fluid) circulating throughout your body.
Simply taking a good walk everyday will improve the circulation of your lymphatic system and thus improve your body's immune system.
You can also engage in skin brushing to help lymph circulate, increase blood circulation, and help your body get rid of toxins through the skin.

Besides vitamin C both colloidal silver and garlic oil are very good immune system boosters as they are both natural antibiotics.
