Prevention really is the best cure when it comes to staying healthy. Adding the following top five ingredients to your healthy diet routine may help boost your immune system and help give it what it needs to fight off any unwanted germs that tend to thrive in colder temperatures.
1. Andrographis
Lots of people swear by taking this ingredient in the colder months to ward off colds, the flu and other illnesses and infections. Andrographis (also known as Indian chiretta) is made of several active compounds that may have antimicrobial properties that enhance the immune system.
Andrographis is high in phenols, which may have antioxidant benefits on human health to naturally flush toxins, promote health and fight off bacteria that may otherwise cause illness.
2. Turmeric
Not only has turmeric been proven to enhance your mood [1], it may also be able to boost your immune system too. According to a study published in the Journal of Clinical Immunology [2], turmeric is a powerful anti-inflammatory spice that has also been shown to have potent immunomodulatory benefits that may be used for immune system disorders. When taken for fighting off the common cold, turmeric may be the boost you need to get you over the hump!
3. Spirulina
One reason you may have an increased susceptibility to getting sick in the colder months is if you have an underlying Candida albicans overgrowth. Which is where a negative type of yeast that is harmless in small amounts, grows out of control when it is given the right conditions in the body to do so.
Spirulina is a bluish green algae that has been shown to have many immune enhancing effects. According to a study published in Clinical Microbiology Reviews[3], spirulina may also be able to boost the immune system by supporting leaky gut syndrome and poor digestion, which is directly related to an imbalance in the microbiome where most of the immune system resides. Spirulina also contains antimicrobial properties that may support healthy microflora health [4].
