Read on.<\/p>\n<h2>How to Boost Immune System Naturally in Winter<\/h2>\n<p>You can include the below-mentioned foods and drinks in your diet to <strong>boost the immunity system during Winter<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">1. Drink a lot of Herb Tea<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3941 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kent.co.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/tea-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Herb tea to boost your immune system\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kent.co.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/tea-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.kent.co.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/tea-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.kent.co.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/tea.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Winter is the time when we love drinking cups of tea and coffee. However, if you want to increase your immunity power, include a lot of <strong>herb tea<\/strong> in your diet. Green tea and chamomile tea are great immune boosters as they are loaded with <strong>powerful anti-oxidants<\/strong>. With the help of <strong>KENT <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kent.co.in\/cooking-appliances\/electric-kettle\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Electric Kettle<\/a><\/strong>, you can easily make your favorite cup of herb tea, even on a busy morning.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">2. Include a lot of Citrus Fruits<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3942 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kent.co.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Citrus-fruit-300x241.jpg\" alt=\"Citrus fruit to increase the immunity power\" width=\"300\" height=\"241\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kent.co.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Citrus-fruit-300x241.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.kent.co.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Citrus-fruit-768x617.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.kent.co.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Citrus-fruit.jpg 896w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Citrus fruits such as grapefruits, lemons, and oranges are immune suppressants and also packed with <strong>Vitamin C<\/strong>. Eating Vitamin C-rich foods plays an important role in preventing infections such as cold, and flu as they boost the production of white blood cells. As your body can\u2019t produce Vitamin C on its own, it is necessary to stock up on Vitamin C by including fruits and vegetables, which are rich in <strong>immune-boosting vitamins<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Also Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kent.co.in\/blog\/lifestyle-changes-to-boost-your-immunity\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">5 Lifestyle Changes to Boost Your Immunity<\/a><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">3. Stay Hydrated<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">You easily get dehydrated during winter, which makes you vulnerable to a lot of <strong>diseases<\/strong>. Water produces lymph, which plays an important role in carrying white blood cells and other immune system cells. Staying hydrated will ensure that your body produces enough <strong>white blood<\/strong> as well as <strong>immune-boosting cells<\/strong> to ensure that you stay healthy during winter. If you don\u2019t like drinking plain water, you can add a slice of lemon to provide your body extra dose of vitamin C.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">4. Add Herbs to your Diet<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Another way to increase your immunity is to include herbs in your <strong>diet<\/strong>, especially during winter. Include a lot of onions, <strong>garlic<\/strong>, black pepper, <strong>ginger<\/strong>, and <strong>turmeric<\/strong> in your food during winter. You can use these herbs either in cooked or dried forms depending on your preference. Herbs such as oregano, and <strong>turmeric<\/strong> are rich in anti-inflammatory properties and rich in vitamins which help in <strong>boosting your immunity<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">5. Include Whole Foods in your Diet<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Your immune system needs a lot of nutrients such as Vitamin A, C, D, and E as well as minerals and zinc to support your immune system. This is the reason why you need to focus on eating whole foods such as whole <strong>grains<\/strong>, <strong>nuts<\/strong>, and <strong>seeds<\/strong>. You also need to include some superfoods in your diet such as <strong>mushrooms<\/strong> to give your <strong>immune system an extra boost<\/strong>.
