Eat for Health!!
Foods that weaken immunity include dairy, animal fat, tropical fruits, oily foods, sweets, alcohol and certain medicines such as steroids and antibiotics.
Foods that strengthen the immune system include whole grains, particularly brown rice and millet. Miso soup made with naturally processed miso is also good for immune health. So are cooked vegetables, including green leafy vegetables and root vegetables like carrots and daikon. Lentils, chickpeas and other beans are also grist for a healthy body. The best protein comes from white-meat fish such as flounder. Olive and sesame oils are great for cooking. Some oils on salad may weaken immunity and recommends a dressing made of tahini, vinegar and crushed sesame seeds.
