Salmon is high in amino acids and omega-3 fatty acid – enhancing the function of immune cells. Cashews are high in zinc and Red bell peppers are rich in Vitamin C which can help strengthen your immune system, fight off infections and regulate development and function of immune cells. Asparagus is also a good source of fibre, folate, and Vitamins A, C, E and K.
