You know that if you want to keep your body healthy you need to eat a balanced and nutritious diet and get enough exercise while making sure to drink enough water. These are general guidelines, of course, but what we need are more details. Some food is better for your health, and your immune system, than others. The foods you want to eat to keep your immune system strong are called superfoods. What superfoods should you include in your daily eating plan in order to keep your immune system healthy and vital? We'll discuss three of them in this article, so keep reading.

A lot of people don't think of almonds when they think of superfoods, but eating almonds can help power-up your immune system. One factor that makes almonds a superfood is the magnesium they contain. Magnesium is needed to keep your cells as strong as they can be. Your immune system also benefits from magnesium as it helps to make it stronger. Almonds are available practically anywhere you shop, and they're just plain good to eat. Just about every grocery store carries almonds - plain and fancy. They're fun to bake with. You can make many different snacks and desserts with almonds. You can also include them in granola or add them to breakfast cereals. Do you simply like the taste of plain, raw almonds? That makes it easy to add them to your diet.

Do you like vegetable juice? It's one of the easiest ways to strengthen your immune system, as well as supplying your body with vitamins and minerals. If you've ever paid attention to the V-8 Juice commercials, you know how healthy it is to drink veggie juices. Believe what they told you, because it's true. Naturally, you don't have to just choose V-8 Juice. Maybe you would prefer to blend your own juices. There are many juicers on the market that can do this for you. This gives folks the choice of which vegetables and spices to use, plus they can vary their juices instead of always drinking the same flavor. There are other benefits to drinking vegetable juice besides its benefits to your immune system. Juices are loaded with vitamins, minerals, and fluids that help you maintain your health.

Unfortunately, vampires can't benefit from this great food that strengthens your immune system - it's garlic. We'll be the first to admit that garlic has a strong odor. But it also has the nutrients you need to boost the power of your immune system. Uncooked garlic is the best way to get the benefits of the nutrients in this superfood. The power of garlic is best if you eat it uncooked, even though you may have to get used to doing this at first. Well, some of you just won't be able to deal with raw garlic, but you can still boost your immune system and add great flavor to your food if you include it in what you cook. Don't be afraid to use a lot of garlic. I have a great recipe called 40 Clove Garlic and it's delicious. Use as much as you can and you will feel wonderful.

The lifestyle changes you can take to give your immune system a boost are numerous.

Plan on thirty minute sessions of exercise three to five times weekly. It's important that you keep your body from becoming dehydrated by drinking pure water regularly during your waking hours. Get rid of junk food in your life and eat a balanced, nutritious diet of healthy foods. Nevertheless, the best idea - in order to prevent illness from striking - is to include immune-strengthening superfoods in your meal plan. Do some research online or buy a book on superfoods. That will give you even more to choose from than the three we've discussed in this report.
