Who Else would wants to build immune system alongside me?

This is a harsh season. The cold weather, constant cold and cough, some are down with malaria. But we've got work to do. I can't even think of getting sick this season. So, if you are like me, let's boost our immune system against whatever that may come. 

In as much as these tips would help you to build your immune system, nothing else beats a proper rest. 

So, please rest! Let's dive into it. 

•CITRUS FRUITS
This can never be overemphasized. You know that you need to take fruits. But you just want to ignore it. Aunty, you're gworung old oh. Please be intentional about taking good care of YOU because no one would come through for you when you need YOU except YOU. 

Be strategic in your intake of fruits. Majorly, Citrus: Orange, tangerine, Lemon. Whenever you see those mallam passing by, take two. It won't harm you. 

Also, GUAVA helps to build your immune system.  
•GARLIC AND GINGER
Most young people detest this because of the smell. However, we've got no choice but to befriend them. You can brush before and after using it, infact you can wash them over and over. Use mouth deodorant sef but ensure you take these two. 

Research has shown that they have immune boosting properties and they tend to Reduce illness(sore throats), nausea, improves digestion.

So, boil water with your ginger inside and drink, take in the smell. Also, blend your ginger and garlic. Add to your tea, water and drink. Your choice. 


•NUTS (PEANUT, HAZELNUT)
Almonds, peanuts and hazelnuts contain vitamin E, which helps increase T-cell count (T-cells directly kill infected host cells and regulate immune responses).
Worry not about how to get an Hazelnut, we've got Hazelnut spread and you can use that instead. "Nutella contains calcium that strengthens your bones and teeth. The iron in Nutella helps in making red blood cells in your body and also protectsyour immune system. The ingredients present in Nutella help in regulating your blood pressure."

Peanuts are also rich in heart-healthy vitamins like magnesium and vitamin E.
My friend makes the best peanut. You can get yours from her. 

•OATS
Oats contain immune-supporting nutrients like selenium and zinc.
•COLOURFUL FOODS (SWEET POTATO, CARROTS, WATERMELON)
The vitamin C content in WATERMELON is astoundingly high. Vitamin C improves our immune system, helps heal wounds and has been observed in numerous studies because it is essential to the formation of new connective tissue.

Vitamins and minerals in SWEET POTATOES make them a healthy choice at mealtime.
The vitamin C in CARROTS helps your body build antibodies that defend your immune system. Vitamin C also helps your body take in and use iron and prevent infections.
Looking at all these, it's not so expensive to build your immune system. Infact, it's affordable!

Boost your immune system so it can protects you by first creating a barrier that stops those invaders, or antigens, from entering the body.

Your lifestyle can affect how well your immune system can protect you from germs, viruses, and chronic illness. Replacing bad health habits with good ones can help keep your immune system healthy.

Which of these would you try out today? I look forward to your responses in the comment section
