In order to have good health, you need to have a strong immune system. You already know this. It's why you work so hard to keep your body protected against germs. You wash your hands a lot. You use a hand sanitizer. You have a whole collection of supplements you take religiously every day and, when a friend or co-worker is ill, you keep your distance. What if the key to keeping your immune system healthy could be as simple as making sure that you ate some immune system 'superfoods'? Which foods are considered superfoods? In this report we will talk about three superfoods that you should include in your diet to keep your immune system peaked.

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.

Raw kale is what you want to eat, as it's better for you than cooked kale. The best form of Vitamin C available is found in raw kale. Additionally, raw kale doesn't contain much sugar, but it's loaded with fiber. Try not to cook kale. If you do, it lessens the amount of Vitamin C available for your body.

Vitamin C doesn't survive well when it's exposed to the cooking process. It's pretty easy to understand why eating your kale raw is the better choice, right? Since Vitamin C is so important for keeping your immune system strength up, include raw kale in your eating plan weekly.

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.
