In order to maintain a healthy immune system, it's important to eat a balanced diet and supplement it with vitamins and minerals. The most important vitamins for immune system are found in fresh, unprocessed foods. Vitamin C, zinc, and vitamin D are important for boosting your immunity. Vitamin C helps your body fight off infections by protecting against toxins that can cause inflammation. It also plays a role in preventing Heart disease and cancer. Taking a daily vitamin D supplement can lower your risk of getting sick. Zinc is an essential part of the immune system.

It is necessary for the formation and maintenance of leukocytes, or white blood cells, which are important for fighting off infection. Foods high in zinc include oysters, crab, chickpeas, beans, and cashews. Another nutrient that has been shown to support your immune system is methylcobalamin. This vitamin is crucial for the production of white blood cells. Eating a well-balanced diet, including plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, can also boost your immune system. You can take supplements, though it is important to talk to a health professional before deciding on this option.

What are the known causes of food allergies?

Food allergies occur when the immune system mounts an attack on certain proteins in certain foods. The substances in the food that trigger this immune-system response are called allergens. The immune system is a complex network of cells and molecules that help defend the body against foreign substances. When a properly functioning immune system detects a foreign substance, it responds to this threat by producing proteins called antibodies against the invaders. The antibodies will recognize and attack this foreign substance when they next encounter it. This "battle" is what causes the allergy symptoms.
