Strengthen your immune system this autumn with natural foods
When the cold arrives, your body faces more viruses, less sunlight, and greater fatigue. The key isn’t in artificial supplements but in real, powerful, and natural foods. Here’s which products to use, why they work, and how to integrate them into your daily routine.
Why immunity drops in autumn and winter
During the colder months, the immune system weakens for several reasons: reduced sunlight exposure (less vitamin D), more time spent indoors, diets with fewer fresh fruits, stress, lack of sleep, and less physical activity. That’s why the body needs a natural antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and vitamin boost.
Essential nutrients to keep your defenses strong
Vitamin C: essential for proper white blood cell function.
Zinc and selenium: strengthen immune response.
Antioxidants: neutralize free radicals and reduce cellular damage.
Natural anti-inflammatories: help stabilize the immune system.
Adaptogens: reduce the effects of stress and support overall balance.
The best natural foods to boost your immunity
1. Camu camu – maximum vitamin C concentration. Strengthens the immune system and acts as a powerful antioxidant. How to take it: half a teaspoon daily in juice or yogurt.
2. Manuka honey – antibacterial and protective. Soothes the throat and calms coughs. How to use: one teaspoon daily alone or with lemon and ginger.
3. Chayampray – a cleansing plant rich in chlorophyll that activates immunity. Ideal: as an infusion or powder in the morning.
4. Fresh ginger – stimulating and warming. How to use: as an infusion with lemon or in ginger and turmeric shots.
5. Turmeric with black pepper – natural anti-inflammatory. Tip: add half a teaspoon to stews or plant-based drinks.
6. Neem – natural Ayurvedic antibiotic. How to take it: in capsules or as an infusion for 10–15 days.
7. Tulsi – sacred basil adaptogen. Reduces stress and strengthens the immune system. How to take it: as a pure infusion or combined with turmeric and pepper.
8. Aronia – extreme antioxidant. How to consume: in powder, capsules, or juice form.
9. Strawberry tree fruit (Madroño) – Mediterranean vitamin C source. How to use: fresh or in natural extracts.
10. Organic propolis – direct immune defense. How to use: as a spray or sublingual drops at the first signs of a cold.
How to include them in your daily diet
Breakfast: smoothie with camu camu, ginger, and red fruits.
Mid-morning: yogurt with Manuka honey and seeds.
Lunch: turmeric and pepper in stews or soups.
Afternoon: Tulsi infusion with a Linverd ginger and turmeric shot.
Dinner: cooked vegetables with garlic, chayampray, and vitamin C-rich fruits.
Final recommendations
Prioritize natural foods over synthetic supplements. Maintain a balanced diet, good sleep, and regular physical activity. Avoid excess sugar, alcohol, and processed foods.
