 The immune system is responsible for protecting the body from infections and diseases. It is important to maintain a strong immune system to stay healthy and prevent illnesses. One way to support the immune system is by eating a balanced diet that includes foods that are known to boost immunity. In this article, we will discuss the best foods for boosting the immune system.

  1. Citrus fruits: Citrus fruits like oranges, lemons, and grapefruits are high in vitamin C, which is known to boost immunity. Vitamin C is essential for the production of white blood cells, which are responsible for fighting infections.

  2. Berries: Berries such as blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries are high in antioxidants, which help protect the body from damage caused by harmful molecules known as free radicals. Antioxidants also help boost the immune system.

  3. Garlic: Garlic has antimicrobial properties and has been found to stimulate the immune system. It is also high in sulfur-containing compounds that help boost the immune system.

  4. Ginger: Ginger has anti-inflammatory properties and has been found to boost the immune system. It also has antimicrobial properties that help fight off infections.

  5. Leafy greens: Leafy greens like spinach and kale are high in vitamins A and C, which help boost the immune system. They are also high in antioxidants and other nutrients that support overall health.

  6. Yogurt: Yogurt contains probiotics, which are beneficial bacteria that help boost the immune system. Probiotics have been found to improve gut health, which is important for overall immune function.

  7. Nuts: Nuts like almonds and walnuts are high in vitamin E, which is a powerful antioxidant that helps boost the immune system. They are also high in other nutrients that support overall health.

  8. Turmeric: Turmeric contains curcumin, which has anti-inflammatory properties and has been found to boost the immune system. It also has antimicrobial properties that help fight off infections.

  9. Green tea: Green tea contains antioxidants called catechins, which help boost the immune system. It also contains L-theanine, an amino acid that has been found to boost the production of white blood cells.

  10. Mushrooms: Mushrooms like shiitake and maitake are high in beta-glucans, which are complex sugars that help boost the immune system. They are also high in antioxidants and other nutrients that support overall health.

Incorporating these foods into a balanced diet can help boost the immune system and support overall health. It is important to remember that a healthy diet is just one aspect of maintaining a strong immune system, and other factors such as getting enough sleep and exercise are also important.

  Ce lundi 1er mai 2023 est, comme tous les 1er mai depuis 1948, un   jour férié . Il s’agit en effet de la Fête du   Travail . En   France , elle se confond avec la journée internationale des travailleurs. Mais contrairement à ce que l’on pourrait penser, l’origine de cette fête n’est pas française, mais américaine, et remonte au 1er mai 1884,   comme l’indique le ministère du Travail, du Plein Emploi et de l’Insertion .

Ils avaient choisi le 1er mai, car cette date correspondait alors au premier jour de l’année comptable des  entreprises . Finalement, le 1er mai 1886, 200.000 travailleurs américains avaient obtenu la journée de huit heures, mais pas les autres, entraînant de grandes mobilisations partout dans le pays et de violents affrontements à  Chic...

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The shortest player on the   Edmonton Oilers   roster had their biggest goal Saturday night. Kailer Yamamoto scored with 3:02 remaining for his first point of the series as the Oilers beat the  Los Angeles Kings  5-4 in Game 6 to advance to the second round of the Stanley Cup playoffs. In a series dominated by superstars Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl, it was the Oilers' fourth line that played a pivotal role. Besides Yamamoto, Klim Kostin had two goals and an assist. It didn’t go in the net early in the series but he stuck with it. He stuck with it and eventually ended up scoring the series winner,” Oilers coach Jay Woodcroft said. Yamamoto — who lived in Los Angeles for three years and played youth hockey for the Jr. Kings — got possession of the puck deep in the offensive zone, skated around and then sent a wrist shot through traffic and past the right shoulder and stick of Kings goaltender Joonas Korpisalo. “Being in this position it's prett...
