    LIST OF FOODS for IMMUNE SYSTEM which is a complex network of cells, proteins, and barriers that all serve to protect the body from harm.

Vitamin A has been shown to regulate the life cycle and function of innate immune cells.Brussels sprouts and other foods that contain vitamin C, such as citrus fruits, bell peppers, berries, and kiwi are important for stimulating the production of white blood cells like macrophages, T cells, and B cells. Vitamin C is also supportive of white blood cells through antioxidant activity.Oysters and other foods that contain zinc, such as vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and lean proteins play a multi-faceted role in immune health. Zinc supports the integrity of physical immune barriers such as the skin, mucus membranes, and epithelial lining.  Zinc is also important for cellular immunity, inhibition of viral replication, and T and B cell support.Swiss chard and other food sources of magnesium like other green leafy vegetables, legumes, nuts, seeds, and whole grains, are important for the immune system. Magnesium is an essential nutrient that acts as a cofactor for hundreds of vital enzyme reactions in the body.
