]]>Eating Too Much Sugar
We all know that excess intake of sugar is not healthy, and not just because of high blood pressure and weight gain. Eating too much sugar can also compromise our immune system, so it’s best to cut back on sweets and sugary drinks.
Not Eating Enough Calories
Calories are basically fuel for our body because they provide us with energy. This is an important thing to consider for anyone thinking about cutting calories, because eating too few calories can weaken our immune system and lead to tiredness and low energy levels.
Eating Too Much Salt
Adding too much salt to food will make it tasty, but it may not be the best thing for our health. Consuming too much salt can lead to headaches, high blood pressure, and many other health issues because it weakens our immune system.

]]>Veggies are a great source of immune-boosting compounds like Vitamin C and antioxidants, and here are three that you should consider adding to your diet for this fall and winter season.
Bell Peppers
Bell peppers are great as an addition to salad, in fajitas, or even when used as a shell for a “stuffed” Italian-inspired dish. What’s great about this vegetable is that they are chock full of Vitamin C which can help keep you sickness-free.

. A traditional dish of rice, aromatic herbs and yellow split peas into bell peppers and slow-cooked with spices to form a fragrant, delicious meal. In my menu, very soon

Broccoli
Broccoli is a classic food that’s used in all kinds of dishes and prepared in all kinds of ways, but not many know about its health advantages. Several antioxidant-boosting phytochemicals can be found in this veggie, including glucobrassicin and beta-carotene. These work together to boost your body’s immune response.

je pro nás všechny náročné, někteří se nevyhneme ani onomu strašákovi s názvem koronavirus. Každý na to máme jiný názor, někdo panikaří, jiní jej považují za obyčejnou chřipku,
některým je to zkrátka jedno a neřeší to. Jak mám ve zvyku, přináším několik skvělých 
bylinek, které určitě nenahrazují klasické chemické léky, ale pokud tyto bylinky pravidelně konzujume, může nám to s různými viry a bakteriemi jen pomoci.
Třapatka nachová 
(echinacea) je velmi známá bylinka, za poslední roky se stala velmi komerční, pokud je něco s echinaceou, lidé na to slyší a přípravek s radostí kupují, ovšem ne vše je takové, jak vypadá, tak si důkladně přečtěte složení, než koupíte například přípravek z drogerie, lékarny apod. Echinacea obsahuje fenolové složky odvozené od kyseliny kofeinové, dalé obsahuje echinocein, aklylamidy a izobutylamidy. 
choroboplodné zárodky. Nebyly prokázané žádné vedlejší účinky. Grepové jádro 
- Ano, čtete dobře, klasické grepové jádro je silné přírodní antibiotikum, někteří věří, že je účinnější než klasický česnek. Obsahuje vysoký počet bioflavonoidů, ty pomáhají vychytávat a likvidovat volné radikály v organismu. Napomáhá při infekcích horních dýchacích cest, posiluje imunitu a udává mikrobiální rovnováhu. Látky, které se v semenech grepu nacházejí slouží jako prevence proti nachlazení. 
Na zevní použití je ideální použít olej z grepových semínek. Lze použít i při 
vypadávání vlasů, redukci pocení nohou a napomáhá léčit záněty v dutině ústní včetně zubních kazů. Dá se tedy užívat zevně i vnitřně. 
Bylinných pomocníků je nespočet, ty další si řekneme v dalším příspěvku. Budeme se bavit o Benediktu lékařském a květech černého bezu. Všem přeji pevné zdraví za celý tým VB.

It’s no secret that Vitamin C is one of the most important immune-boosting nutrients and kiwi is another tasty fruit that contains an abundance of it.
grow on vines and that these vines can grow up to 30 feet long?! 
You probably say "kiwi" instead of "kiwifruit" because it's often shortened that way. 
Kiwifruit is also called "Chinese gooseberry" and originated in China 
before spreading to New Zealand 
where it was renamed after the little kiwi bird! 
Kiwifruit spread from New Zealand to the rest of the world and is now grown in many countries across the globe! 
How many of these fun facts did you already know?

Strawberries are rich in both Vitamin A and Vitamin C, and you probably don’t need extra convincing to add them to the menu.
Cantaloupe
In addition to providing you with a healthy dose of Vitamin C, this fruit will also keep you hydrated since it has a high water content.
I tried it at Otaru, Hokkaido! I love it
– Have you been to Hokkaido? Do you have any coming vacation plans

If you can find papayas at your local market, make sure to buy them, since a single fruit contains 224% percent of the daily recommended amount of Vitamin C!
) Right now, we’re facing real tragedy and raw, foreign emotions. Donned with fear, stress and sadness like never before. Whether fighting on the frontline or isolated at home, we are all living through the same crisis. I wish I had answers and solutions to the world's problems, but I’m just as clueless as everyone else, so I’m not going to pretend to have my shit together. What I do know to be true is that immense empathy, free of judgement, opens up lines of communication to let all the icky/toxic emotions buried deep down come out into the open. Holding space for each other to be vulnerable and process all of this together can help facilitate healing on many levels. And yes, hearing the same conversations over and over again can be emotionally draining, so leveling it with joy from the simpler things and frequent doses of light-hearted humor as these too can be remarkably therapeutic. May we be open to it all and look to each other for what we need because this is different for everybody and there’s no wrong answer.The post Boost Your Immune System With These Tasty Fruits appeared first on thedancingcucumber.com.
