Vitamin C might help your immune system. Plenty of sleep and a balanced, nutritious diet are also important.
To boost the immune system there are many immune supplements, foods and vitamins which will keep your immune strong to fight against diseases and other infections.
Vitamin C is believed to be one such supplement that increases our immune to infections. Vitamin C increases the production of infection-fighting white blood cells and antibodies and increases levels of interferon, the antibody that coats cell surfaces, preventing the entry of viruses.
Vitamin E is also an antioxidant and immune booster, which should be taken regularly. Beta-carotene increases the number of infection-fighting cells, natural killer cells, and helper T-cells, and also is a powerful antioxidant that cleans up excess free radicals that accelerate aging. It also helps a lot to boost your immune system by supplementing your diet with bioflavonoid, zinc, garlic, selenium, and omega3 fatty acids.
