TIP OF THE DAY

Eat for a killer immunity


It takes more than an apple a day to keep viruses at bay. You can improve your body’s resistance by getting your seven servings of fruits and veggies
and eight to 10 glasses of water a day, at the very least. While an all-around diet is the key to stronger immunity, there are particular immune system-boosting foods that can keep you in fighting condition.


Such as Garlic
Garlic contains the active ingredient allicin, which fights infection and bacteria. British researchers gave 146 people either a placebo or a garlic extract for 12 weeks; the garlic takers were two-thirds less likely to catch a cold. Other studies suggest that garlic lovers who chow more than six cloves a week have a 30 percent lower rate of colorectal cancer and a 50 percent lower rate of stomach cancer. Eat two raw cloves a day and add crushed garlic to your cooking several times a week.
