The winter season is here and with it comes all kinds of illnesses. If you want to stay healthy this winter, it’s important to boost your immune system by eating right! Here are some easy ways that you can stay healthy this season:

Boost your immune system by eating foods that are rich in beta-carotene and vitamins A, C and E.
Beta-carotene is a natural antioxidant found in carrots, sweet potatoes and squash. It gives these vegetables their orange color and helps prevent the formation of free radicals (unstable molecules), which can damage cells or cause disease.
Vitamin C helps protect against infections by strengthening the body’s defenses against bacteria and viruses. Citrus fruits such as oranges or grapefruits provide vitamin C; so do broccoli, strawberries and bell peppers (red peppers).
