Your immune system is probably not something you pay much attention to until it’s too late. Don’t worry about that; we all do it and we are all guilty of not taking very good care of ourselves all the time. Even if we eat well and exercise often, we might not get enough sleep. We might take on too much and we feel the stress of those decisions from time to time. We might think we take good care of ourselves, but we don’t take great care of ourselves, and that makes for difficulty when our immune systems decide to crash and remind us that we have to slow down, take a break and regroup to make life a bit healthier. Organic food, according to most people, is far better. As someone who isn’t all about organic food (I don’t see anything wrong with it at all, but I also don’t see anything wrong with the same foods I’ve been eating my entire life) in my daily life, I don’t pay much attention to it. However, there are some organic foods you can incorporate into your life that could help you boost your immune system and live healthier and happier.

Garlic

Filled with good ingredients that will help you boost your immune system, eating organic garlic is going to make you much healthier. In fact, eating more garlic in general is a great way to improve your diet. It’s good for you, it’s tasty and it’s so simple to add to just about any meal. This makes flavors pop and it makes things taste so much better. We eat garlic all the time in my house; it’s part of just about every meal. Just make sure you’re all eating it or you’re going to risk no one wanting to share any kisses with you and your garlic breath.

Bananas

We all know bananas are good for us in moderation. They’re great for our bodies, our strength and our immune system. You can add just a little bit to that very simply by eating them organic. This eliminates any potential harmful additives that might make you feel sicker or wreck your immune system. While you shouldn’t eat several every single day, one with breakfast or as a snack throughout the day is going to add a lot of potassium to your diet that will strengthen your immune system.

Yogurt

Organic yogurt is good for you; and organic Greek yogurt is great for you. Filled with healthy bacteria that will help your immune system become stronger than ever, this is s a super food you should eat at least once a day. Can we recommend that you have it for breakfast and add some fresh fruit to it to make it even healthier? It’s going to make a big difference in your overall health.

Spinach

It’s one of the best foods for your body, and eating it organic is only going to make it that much better for you. Filled with Vitamin C, this is a food that’s going to help make your immune system that much stronger if you eat it on a daily basis. A great way to add it into your diet is in a salad, on sautéed on top of pasta or mixed in with something else you love to eat.

Kale

Kale is filled with Vitamin C, which is one of the best things you can consume to help make your immune system as strong as possible. When you add organic kale to your diet, you will find that you feel better, look better and are much healthier than you were in the past. It also helps that there are so many different ways you can eat this so that it’s not always the same meal every day.

Strawberries

What we love about strawberries is that they are delicious and healthy. And eating them organic is good for your immune system. You can add them to your yogurt in the morning for a double dose of good immune system-building health or you can add them to your dinner menu by adding them to salads. Put a little dark chocolate on them and they make a great dessert, too.

Carrots

Carrots are good for many things, including your immune system. They can make for better immune system health and for better eyesight. You can eat them with meals, cook them or have them raw. The good news about organic carrots is that they are made for people who want to eat something good, but might not necessarily like things cooked the same way all the time.

Potatoes

Sweet, red or regular, potatoes can be very good for your health; especially when you buy them organic. Sweet potatoes are especially good because they are filled with Vitamin A, which is really good for your immune system. You’ll be able to eat these in various manners, with dinner, with breakfast or whenever you want by creating fun recipes such as sweet potato fries and many other concepts that will allow you to eat your meals with ease and enjoyment.

Celery

Celery is considered a negative calorie food. That means that it burns more calories burning off this food than you consume eating it. With approximately 10 calories per stalk, you can eat just about as much of this as you want and enjoy the health benefits associated with it. From a better immune system to a quicker metabolism, this is the food for you, especially if you go organic.

Broccoli

Selenium is found in broccoli, and it’s known to help fight cancer and other diseases. It’s known for strengthening the immune system so that when disease strikes, the body is better able to take care of that. Broccoli is delicious cooked and raw, and it can be eaten in over-abundance with no worry. It’s delicious, and adding it in an organic form to your diet is going to benefit you in a major way. It’s one of the healthiest foods to add to your everyday diet.
