In the coming period, we often get cold. All colds are respiratory infections caused by more than 200 possible viruses. Cold symptoms are varied: sneezing, runny nose, congestion and sore throat. They can also include headaches and fever. If we know that there are so many viruses waiting to take hold, another way of thinking of it is that a cold is caused by a weak immune system that allows the virus to set in. There is no scientific prove of exictense of some magic superfood for combatting the common cold. However, numerous foods and nutrients can play helpful roles in prevention or treatment of it. Try to iclude this foods into your diet to imrove your immune system.

1.Chicken Soup



Preliminary research shows the ingredients in chicken soup may have unique medicinal properties. “A study conducted at the University of Nebraska Medical Center found something more: The broth, vegetables and chicken in a soup tested in a lab all showed anti-inflammatory properties. The researchers studied the movement of neutrophils (white blood cells) and found they were reduced by chicken soup, suggesting the soup might have an anti-inflammatory effect, which may ease symptoms and shorten upper respiratory tract infections,” says Caroline Kaufman, M.S., RDN.

So, yes, it`s true… there is Science behind the age-old adage that chicken soup helps cure the common cold! At the most basic level, the warm liquid is hydrating, helps loosen mucus and eases sore throats. The recipe used in the study, known as “Grandma’s Soup,” contains chicken, onions, sweet potatoes, parsnips, turnips, carrots, Celery stems, parsley, salt and pepper.





2.Sardines

We know that fathy fish is high in omega-3 fats. They can reduce the risk of heart disease and inflammation in the body. A new animal study published in the Journal of Leukocyte Biology shows that omega-3s may also help boost the immune system by enhancing the functioning of immune cells. You might be surprised that sardines trump their fishy counterparts when it comes to omega-3s: A three-ounce serving of canned sardines provides 1,259 milligrams of omega-3s, while the same amount of rainbow trout has 905 milligrams, salmon has 840 milligrams and canned tuna has 196 milligrams. Sardines also provide other important nutrients to keep your immune system running strong. For example, a quarter-cup serving of BPA-free canned, sustainably wild-caught BELA sardines in olive oil contains 120 calories, 13 grams of protein and provides calcium and vitamin D for good health.



Mushrooms
Mushrooms are rich in B vitamins, selenium and antioxidants. Eating mushrooms can improve your immune system. “Mushrooms have antiviral effects, and consumption of mushrooms may be associated with an increased production of cells that fight infections,” says Jackie Newgent, RDN. Reduced amounts of the mineral selenium have been associated with a greater risk of developing advanced flu symptoms. And the B vitamins in mushrooms (niacin and thiamin) help keep the immune system strong. Maitake and shiitake mushrooms, in particular, contain plant nutrients that seem to have immune-boosting ability. Saute shiitake mushrooms and stuff them in an omelet with a little goat cheese and fresh herbs, or sprinkle fresh maitake mushrooms with olive oil, salt and pepper, and then grill them and serve on a salad or top with an egg.

Citrus Fruits with Peel
Because citrus fruits are full with vitamin C, enjoying them regularly is a good idea to keep your immune system running strong. One medium orange will provides you 117 percent of your daily value for vitamin C. “Antioxidants like vitamin C boost immunity by fighting cell-damaging free radicals,” says Caroline Kaufman, M.S., RDN. But when it comes to citrus fruits, there may be an added benefit for those suffering from severe colds. “A natural chemical found in citrus fruit peels, limonene, could play a potential role in the treatment of bronchitis, though more research in this area is needed,” says Jackie Newgent, RDN. Preliminary data also show that limonene may help fight cancer and aid in weight loss. An easy way to include the citrus peel in your diet is to make a citrusy vinaigrette: “Whisk together fresh orange juice and a generous pinch of grated orange peel with olive oil and a squirt of lemon juice,” suggests Newgent.

So, be prepared for the season of colds! Use our advices, include this foods into your diet, and maintain a healthy immune system.
