Best Foods to Boost Your Immunity  & Health

Pumpkin Seeds

"Most of us only think of pumpkin seeds around Halloween, but they're one of the healthiest seeds to add to your daily diet," Moss says. She recommends them hulled, eaten raw or gently toasted.

They're a rich source of magnesium and zinc, two minerals many people don't get enough of.

Magnesium helps relax the body and relieve everything from tight muscles to anxiety to headaches to constipation.

Zinc is a key player for your immune system, and it boosts testosterone (which can help improve your libido).

Almonds

Almonds provide plenty of nutrients, including:

• magnesium
• vitamin E
• iron
• calcium
• fiber
• riboflavin

Broccoli

Broccoli provides good amounts of fiber, calcium, potassium,  and phytonutrients. Phytonutrients are compounds that reduce the risk of developing heart diseases, diabetes, and some cancers.

Broccoli also provides essential antioxidants such as vitamin C and beta-carotene. In fact, a single half-cup serving of broccoli can provide around 85% of a person’s daily vitamin C value.

Another compound in broccoli, called sulforaphane, may have anticancer and anti-inflammatory qualities.

However, overcooking broccoli can destroy many of its key nutrients. For this reason, it is best to eat it raw or lightly steamed.

Apples

Apples are an excellent source of antioxidants, which combat free radicals. Free radicals are damaging substances that the body generates. 

They cause undesirable changes in the body and may contribute to chronic conditions, as well as the aging process.

However, some studies have suggested that an antioxidant in apples might extend a person’s life span and reduce the risk of chronic disease.

Apples contain a range of antioxidants, including:

• quercetin
• catechin
• phloridzin
• chlorogenic acid

Avocados

Some people avoid consuming avocados due to their high fat content. However, avocados provide healthful fats, as well as B vitamins, vitamin K, and vitamin E. Avocados are also a good source of fiber.

Avocados increased levels of high-density lipoprotein, or “good,” cholesterol.

This type of cholesterol removes more harmful cholesterol from the bloodstream.

Avocados may also have associations with improved nutrient absorption, better overall diet, and fewer metabolic risk factors.

Leafy green vegetables

Spinach is an example of a leafy green with antioxidant content, especially when it is raw, steamed, or very lightly boiled. It is a good source of the following nutrients:

• vitamins A, B-6, C, E, and K
• selenium
• niacin
• zinc
• phosphorus
• copper
• potassium
• calcium
• manganese
• iron

Benefits of eating green leafy vegetables daily

Green leafy vegetables have plenty of vitamins, minerals and disease-fighting chemicals.

They are rich in fibre, which helps in digestion and keeps you full and hence aiding weight loss. 

Fibre also slows the absorption of carbohydrates hence controls blood sugar. Green leafy vegetables ensure beautiful skin and hair.

Green vegetables are a good sources of folate, which can reduce your risk of cardiovascular disease and memory loss as well as warding off depression.

Vitamin E found in green leafy vegetables works with vitamin C to keep skin healthy as you age.

This vitamin also helps protect your skin from the sun’s damaging rays and may help reduce your risk of cataracts and macular degeneration.

Kale

When it comes to grown-up greens, kale is deserving of its superfood epithet. 

It absolutely smashes its competitors in terms of lutein, a potent antioxidant shown to protect eyesight, and leads the way with respect to beta-carotene and vitamin C.

As a member of the Brassica family along with broccoli and Brussels sprouts, kale also brings sulforaphane to the table, a phytonutrient shown to have cancer-fighting properties.

Eat outside the bowl: For a power-packed creamy smoothie that doesn't taste like a salad, combine 1 1/2 cups coconut water, 1 ripe avocado, 4 kale leaves, 1 celery stalk, 1 cup frozen mango cubes, 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed, 1 tablespoon honey, and 1 teaspoon fresh ginger in a blender until smooth. Or when you're on the go, stop by Jamba Juice for a Garden Medley, a blend of apple juice, carrot juice, baby spinach, chard, baby kale, and chia seeds.

A single cup of raw kale (about 67 grams or 2.4 ounces) contains :

• Vitamin A: 206% of the DV (from beta-carotene)
• Vitamin K: 684% of the DV
• Vitamin C: 134% of the DV
• Vitamin B6: 9% of the DV
• Manganese: 26% of the DV
• Calcium: 9% of the DV
• Copper: 10% of the DV
• Potassium: 9% of the DV
• Magnesium: 6% of the DV
• It also contains 3% or more of the DV for vitamin B1 (thiamin), vitamin B2 (riboflavin), vitamin B3 (niacin), iron and phosphorus

Vitamin K is an important nutrient.

It is absolutely critical for blood clotting, and does this by "activating" certain proteins and giving them the ability to bind calcium.

The well-known anticoagulant drug Warfarin actually works by blocking the function of this vitamin.

Kale is one of the world's best sources of vitamin K, with a single raw cup containing almost 7 times the recommended daily amount.

Spinach

1. Strengthens your bones

Spinach is a rich source of Vitamin K which helps in promoting a the production of a protein called Osteocalcin that is responsible for stabilizing calcium in the bones.

In addition to being rich in vitamin K, spinach is also a great source of calcium and vitamin D, dietary fibre, potassium, magnesium and vitamin C, all of which are important nutrients that are good for bone health.
 

2. Strengthens your eyesight and immune system

Spinach contains beta carotene, lutein and chlorophyll - all of which are responsible for improving your eyesight and boosting your immune system.

 Lutein are stored in the macula, which is a part of the retina that acts as a natural sunblock, shielding your eye from damaging light. This will also help lower the risk of macular degeneration; which is why most people are advised to eat more and more greens.

3. Repels bacteria and viruses  

Spinach is high in vitamin A which helps our skin and mucous membranes to repel various kinds of bacteria and viruses effectively. Moreover, this vitamin is necessary for sebum production to keep hair moisturized.

 Vitamin A is good for the growth of all bodily tissues, including skin and hair. So load up on more greens to reduce the risk of hair loss and infections.
 

4. Promotes heart health

Vitamin C in spinach is known to have the ability to prevent wrinkles and protect us from eye diseases, prenatal health problems and cardiovascular diseases.

It is also the presence of lutein content that prevents thickening of walls of arteries, thus reducing the risk of heart attacks. Moreover, it contains nitrite that not only helps in preventing the occurrence of heart attack but also cures the heart diseases associated with fat deposition.
 

5. Keeps you energized

Spinach provides you with the required levels of magnesium in your body which helps you to generate energy for your day to day chores. Spinach is also a great source of folate, a nutrient that helps your body turn food into usable energy. 

Self Healing Tips and Strategies

self care of your body is the first prerequisite for experiencing joy, peace, happiness and success in your life. These simple tips for health will help you transform and heal your body temple and your life!

    ·        Drink ample quantities of fresh purified or spring water daily to     hydrate your cells and keep them singing and free of toxic cellular debris.

      ·        Each of your nerves has something like a little aqua duct that runs alongside it that carries water.

       ·        This water acts to conduct the electrical impulses for consistent nerve conduction.

       ·        Water is also necessary for the electro-magnetic flow along your meridian pathways that supports your health and longevity.

·        Meditation on a daily basis will help keep your body balanced and free of built-up stress. More importantly meditation will increase your self awareness and intuitive ability.

·        Exercise regularly, at least 15-20 minutes, 3 times weekly. Mix up your exercise routines to keep it interesting and do exercise you enjoy to stay motivated! Some of you will enjoy aerobic exercise, others walking, yoga, or weight training.

·        Aromatherapy with pure organic essential oils is one of the most important self healing tools available to you for your physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health. This is a huge topic and I’ve devoted my life to the research of essential oils for health and well-being.

·        Make friends with healing gemstones and crystals. The top crystals and gemstones I recommend for healing and balancing your body temple are Moss Agate and Tigers Eye.

·        Relax, Rest, Recover! Having a balance of work and play, activity and relaxation, waking and sleep time are essential for experiencing optimal health.

·        Relationships are important to all of us, and so they should be. Yet, this is where most conflict arises, from the lack of integrated relationship with our self, with others in our lives, and with Nature. Women tend to be more open to work on relationship communication than men, and keeping all lines open is usually necessary for successful and loving relationships. Men will do best also if they support this process.

·        Opening to the Spirit and asking for help from the higher levels of our self is often helpful for healing. As I mentioned, much illness comes from this lack of connection or ability to listen to this Higher Self. If and when we do, we can receive the guidance we need and the new ideas and actions necessary to fulfill our purpose and move us forward in our life.

·        Avoid the victim and blame game, the name game. Most of us get into trouble because of the way we think and the judgments we make, both for others and ourselves. When we say things to others out of anger and with an attempt to hurt them, as we may feel hurt, we generate a war of words and feelings. That is not a healing feeling and creates separation.
