Greetings friends and angels

A close friend of mine has been down with a bacterial infection in her throat weeks now. So, I suggested, instead of relying on all these drugs to get rid of the pesky bacteria, why not add some stuff to her diet to boost her immune system the natural way! She thought it was a great idea.

Keeping our immune systems on their tiptoes is so important! It's not just about fighting all that bacteria that ends up in our bodies, but about protecting us and keeping our bodies safe from all these diseases that seem to be emerging every other year! When she sent this article to me, I found it so useful that I thought it would be a great idea to share it with all of you.

12 Important Immune System Boosters

Many people are looking for ways to boost their immune system; with the recent outbreak of Swine Flu, there’s been much hysteria. However, health officials and flu experts have agreed that by strengthening the immune system, and practicing the standard preparations for flu season, such as thorough hygiene, and good rest, among other things, decreases the chances of catching this virus, or any other, are less than likely. Always keep your allergies in mind and consult your doctor before you add these foods to your diet.

1. Lemons

Lemons are easy to add to your diet, and they’re cheap! They offer vitamin C, and equalize the body’s balance of acids and alkali. You can mix lemon juice with tea, or water, make lemon cookies, or simply have hot lemon tea on a rainy day. Or kill three birds with one stone, so to speak, by eating broccoli sprinkled with lemon juice, and seasoned with a little garlic.

2. Apple Cider Vinegar

Not the first food one thinks when grocery shopping, but apple cider vinegar is very effective. Its primary ingredient is of course apples which contain a host of vitamins including potassium, calcium, phosphorous, sodium, magnesium, chlorine, iron, fluorine and sulphur. While preparing a delicious fish dinner try adding the vinegar to fried or broiled fish, or you can make vinaigrette for salads; raw and leafy vegetables are also boosters of the immune system.
