These 11 Foods Help You Destroy Germs and Viruses, Science Says
Warding off colds and flu: Almonds
Recently, more and more nutritionists and dietitians are recommending adding nut snacks to your daily diet. However, aside from being healthier than chips or candy (obviously!) this snack choice has plenty of hidden benefits.
Perhaps the most important one right now is its immune-boosting function.
Almonds, for example, contain plenty of vitamin E. This micronutrient can keep your immune system up and running, thus protecting you from colds, the flu and even COVID-19 complications.
But here’s the trick: vitamin E needs to be consumed along with fats for proper absorption. Since almonds are an excellent fat source, this is the perfect combination to stay strong and healthy.
The fat content in fats can also reduce unhealthy cravings by promoting satiety, so you get to kill two birds with one stone!
