Don’t want to get sick this coming fall? Stop eating food that depletes your energy and start feeding yourself with foods that are known for boosting your immune system.
What makes a good immune-boosting meal? The main ingredients probably grow on the ground or in the tree, and usually do not come in a box. They are full of healthy nutrients known for boosting immunity, and not full of weird artificla chemicals that will slow you down.
Make the incentive to eat from these suggestions from breakfast to lunch, and you will save yourself a trip to the doctor’s office for the rest of the year. 
BREAKFAST
Plain vanilla yogurt with nuts and ground flaxseed. Yogurt contains healthy bacteria that will help process your food.
A tall glass of water with lemon juice. Dehydration will not help you fight sickness, so it’s good to start drinking water first thing in the morning. Lemon also helps maintain the body’s pH level at a healthy climate where healthy bacteria can thrive.
A strawberry, orange and pineapple smoothie. All those fruits contain Vitamin C, the best nutrient you can have for raising your immune system strength.
Egg white omlette with bell peppers and broccoli. Bell peppers are low and calories and dense in nutrients, and pack in even more Vitamin C than citrus fruits. Broccoli is full of sulforaphanes, which is a cancer-fighting agent. Enjoy these super-veggies in a delicious egg omlette. (Take out the egg yolk because it contains a lot of cholesterol.)
LUNCH
A tall glass of hot water with lemon juice and sliced ginger. If you’re getting sick of drinking water, spice it up with ginger. Ginger is helpful in sweat production, which helps your body sweat out harmful toxins.
A mushroom portobello burger. Mushroom helps the production of white blood cells in your body.
Steamed carrots and squash. A great way to get some Vitamin A into your diet.
Lentil Soup. To get your zinc on.
DINNER
Pumpkin Soup. Pumpkins are chock full of Vitamin A, which helps the respiratory system and is integral in cell-to-cell communication that protects the immune system.
Oysters. Other than being known for an aphrodisiac, oysters also contain lots of zinc, which helps decrease susceptibility to infections.
Green tea. Green tea contains powerful anti-oxidants and other cancer-fighting agents. What better way to wind down than having a warm cup of this?
Garlic Soup. Diced garlic cloves, soup broth, and a few more ingredients for this easy side dish. Garlic is known for its cold-fighting powers, and an extra side of garlic always helps. (Just make sure you’re not seeing any important people the next day in case you are susceptible to garlic breath.)
Roasted tomatoes with a generous sprinkle of oregano and garlic. Full of anti-microbial qualities, regano is one of those magical seasonings that just does a body good.
Thank You Yumi,
Eat your egg yolks. Dietary cholesterol is not the cause of high cholesterol. Egg yolks are rich in choline which converts to the brain food acetylcholine, essential to mental function. Two cooked yolks or one raw provide one day's requirement of choline. As an alternative, supplement with inexpensive lecithin granules. Oysters are risky foods harvested near coastlines and nearly always contaminated. Almonds are a rich source of zinc and Brazil nuts a good source of selenium. One per day will do the trick. Parsley will offset garlic breath and one can purchase parsley/mint combinations. The optimum minimal daily dosage of green tea is five cups. For those who do not wish to consume the tea at this level, they can buy green tea extract and get the equivalent of ten cups or more, at a small expense.
Let us daily increase in: wisdom, love, gratitude, reverence, healing, peace, joy, happiness, laughter and prosperity.
Love and Blessings X 10,

Whole foods matter!! Eggs whites are no good without the yolks..dietary cholesterol raises serum cholesterol in only a minute fraction of the population and besides cholesterol has nothing to do with HD.
Pumpkin seeds and raw pumpkin seed butter are good sources of Zinc.
And better sources of beneficial bacteria are naturally fermented vegetables(suarkraut, kimchee), fermented beverages like kefir—coconut(whole foods now carries coconut milk kefir), or nut-milk based—Rejuvelac , Kommbucha etc. Dairy causes problems for a lot of people, and homogenized , and pasteurized dairy is not absorbed well. IT clogs the villi in the gut thus reducing the absorption of other nutrients and thus actually lowering immunity.
Just my 2 cents.
