Plan your grocery list with these infection-fighting vitamins and foods:
Vitamin C: Oranges, grapefruit, kiwi, berries, carrots, sweet potatoes, sweet pepper, tomatoes, spinach, kale, broccoli, cabbage, and Brussels sprouts are packed with a powerful antioxidant that protects the cells of your body.
Vitamin A (as beta-carotene): Dark green leafy vegetables and winter squashes contain beta-carotene that can protect against cell damage and may enhance immune system function.
Vitamin E: Avocados, nuts, seeds, and wheat germ, as well as tuna, herring, mackerel, and other fatty fishes help make white blood cells that fight infection.
