We all love food and we all have our favorite food that we love to eat. But did you know that the foods that we put in our body can actually affect our immune system? That’s right, some of the foods that you are eating could actually make you sick. Well, what we mean by sick is, it could bring your immune system down and cause you to get sick easier or when you do get sick, the foods that you eat could cause you to stay sick longer. Foods such as soda, chips, candy are all foods that are high in trans fat and sugar. They don’t really contain the important nutrients for your body to get better when you are sick. Foods that are good for your immune system are foods that contain Vitamin C and Zinc. Some great foods that do contain Vitamin C are oranges, strawberries, pineapple, kiwis, broccoli, mangoes, bell peppers, tomatoes. Foods that contain zinc are red meat (such as ground beef), chicken, and turkey. Make sure you stay healthy and don’t forget that every food that you put in your body can have a major affect on you and your body!
