5 foods to boost immunity: The month of April has started, but still the weather remains cold in many places. In many states including Delhi NCR, Rajasthan, and Uttar Pradesh, the temperature has dropped due to rain and hail. Although sunlight also comes out during the day, the heat and cold winds are troubling the person. It is very important to take care of your body in such weather.
In this changing season, the number of people suffering from cough and cold is increasing rapidly. The biggest reason for this is the changing speed of atmospheric elements. Due to the change of weather, the moisture in the atmosphere, or the clouds during the rain, there is an increase in the number of pollutants in the air. These elements such as dust, elements of wild plants, bacteria, viruses, etc. produce the symptoms of cough and cold. Apart from this, the body's immunity increases or decreases due to an increase or decrease in temperature in the change of season, which increases the chances of infection. The following 5 foods will help you in keeping your body's immunity strong.
Citrus fruits
Citrus fruits like oranges, lemons, grapefruit, and tangerines are rich in vitamin C, which is essential for a healthy immune system. Vitamin C boosts the production of white blood cells that fight infection and disease.

Ginger
