How to Boost Your Immunity Fast?

One of the most trusted ways to improve your immunity fast is to have more garlic. It has the powerful compound allicin, vitamins A, C, E and minerals selenium, sulphur and zinc (all vital to immune function). It also protects against infections, colds and flu, and has anti-bacterial, -fungal and -viral properties. Just add crushed cloves to pasta, sauces, salad dressings and dips.

Slip in a superfood. Seaweed is not only extremely nutritious, it boosts the immune system and reduces the risk of illness and infection. Seaweed is a good source of zinc and antioxidants that are important for immune health. 

Get some sun. Vitamin D protects us against illness and a range of chronic diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Sunlight is the easiest and healthiest way to get sufficient vitamin D, so sit for 10 to 15 minutes a day and get direct sunlight on the face, arms and hands. Off course don’t sit in the Sun when the temperature is above 40 degrees.

You can take echinacea daily. It has phenolic compounds which increase the activity and number of immune cells, making them more efficient in attacking viruses like flu & cold. Take echinacea in tablets, as fluid extracts or in tea (three cups in a day is ideal).

Vitamin C is one of the best resistant boosting supplements for treating and preventing all illnesses and chronic diseases. As a powerful cancer prevention agent, it protects cells from free-radical harm and has antiviral, antibacterial and hostile to allergenic movement. Eat more citrus, parsley, berries, red capsicum and kiwifruit.

Include yoghurt in your diet. This very nutritious aged nourishment can enhance absorption and lift our resistant wellbeing. The live microscopic organisms (acidophilus and bifidus) advance the wellbeing and development of microbes. Search for the "live and dynamic societies or microscopic organisms" seal on the yoghurt you purchase.

Think zinc. It's needed for the production of white platelets which protect against colds and infections. Zinc has antioxidant activity, helping to fight free- radical damage, and is found in meats, dairy and whole grains. If supplementing zinc with tablets, take about 45 milligrammes a day not more than that.
