Diet to keep common cold at bay this winter

Your immune system is most vulnerable in the winter. You are more likely to catch communicable diseases such as flu and colds. However, if you include some winter superfoods in your diet, Ayurveda says that winter is also the optimal time to boost your immune system. A balanced diet will not cure every disease, but it will strengthen the immune system and increase energy levels. Nutrients including zinc, omega 3 fatty acids and vitamins A, C, D and E have a big impact on the immune system.
