Mushrooms are another food promoting a healthy immune system, as they increase the production of white blood cells that fight off infection. More than that, mushrooms are high in B vitamins, fiber, minerals, and protein, and low in calories and carbohydrates, which makes them an excellent addition to any healthy diet.

Due to the high level of anti-inflammatories and antioxidants, mushrooms destroy cancer-causing free radical cells, and also lower inflammation that can be the cause of many other diseases. They also help alkalize the body, which improves immunity and balance an individual's pH level, which is crucial for good health because the disease cannot grow in an alkaline environment.

When you want to boost your body's immune system, you can do it naturally by eating the most nutritious foods. Dark, leafy greens are recommended by dietitians because these foods contain high levels of minerals, antioxidants, and vitamins. Broccoli is considered one of the most versatile vegetables to buy because you can consume it raw in salads or by dipping it in a low-calorie salad dressing. You can also cook it in a variety of ways such as boiling it before drizzling it with butter or adding shredded cheese. Broccoli offers the body an assortment of nutrients, including vitamins A, B6, and C, along with calcium, iron, and magnesium.
