Certain foods naturally support immunity by reducing inflammation, providing vital nutrients, and promoting gut health. Incorporating these powerful ingredients into daily meals can make a noticeable difference in overall well-being There are some foods that I consider superfoods that everyone should eat I believe evberyone should have citrus fruits in their diet. Citrus fruits such as oranges, lemons, grapefruits, and limes are among the best natural sources of vitamin C. This essential nutrient plays a critical role in immune function by stimulating white blood cell production, which helps the body fight off infections.

The combination of these nutrients supports immune cell function and helps reduce inflammation, keeping the body strong during the colder months. Eating spinach regularly provides a natural way to boost overall health
