Delegates were told that farmers are eager to support innovative feeding concepts at this life stage, in other words, they are willing to pay more for feeds targeting piglets and young birds.

However, presenters stressed that, as opposed to that of pigs, the lifecycle of the broiler is short, so producers really have to act in the first five days of a broiler chicks life - if they dont take advantage of the pre-starter phase, they are never going to catch up.

Check out the Young Animal Nutrition 2020 (YAN 20) highlights video.

Nutrition needs to be adapted to the age of the animal, the audience was told. Nutritionists can understand with greater precision the amount of nutrients that pigs, for example, get from their feed using a system based on kinetic profiling of raw materials.

Kinetic profiling classifies the protein, starch and fiber content of various raw materials into fast, slow and indigestible parts. Knowing how much protein and starch is digested in the stomach and small intestine, and the final amount of protein and starch that is ultimately undigested in the large intestine is critical for a nutritionist, delegates heard. In the large intestine, undigested starch and protein can become a food source for pathogens such as E. coli and streptococci.

We also see there is interest in exploring the benefits of moist feed for broiler chicks, and in looking at coarser diets for piglets, with calls for structure to be built into pelleted diets for young pigs.

It seems that perceptions are changing around the use of fiber in piglet rations as well.

We were told that there is increasing focus now on the role that feeding before weaning can play in terms of developing piglet gut microbiota and intestinal development and also in preparing the young animal for weaning.

The industry is learning more and more about the development of the animal and the gastrointestinal (GI) system pre-weaning, and how it can be manipulated through interventions in terms of feed, feed additives and early colonization of the gut.

That said, delegates heard that while the industry is trying to steer the development of the gut microbiome, the composition and functionality of a healthy microbial ecosystem in monogastric animals has yet to be qualitatively and quantitatively defined.

We see that transgenerational nutrition can have an impact on progeny performance and gut health but there is much to learn and explore in this field of research.

Some presenters were also forecasting that predictive data, technology that links performance on farm back to the feed mill and informs feed processing parameters, will transform how young animals are fed in the future.

(Reuters Health) Healthy eating guidelines can only propel a small subset of the population to change their diets in favor of foods produced with less greenhouse gas emissions, but the researchers say these changes could still be good for the planet.The agricultural sector produces about a quarter of the world's greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and meat production, especially beef, is a major contributor to global GHG, researchers say in The Lancet Planetary. Health. The present study aimed to address the fundamental gaps in the literature on diet climate: how to identify consumers who are receptive to dietary changes, and the effect of their possible changes on GHGE, diet health and diet costs.

"Previous research indicated that the carbon footprint of diets could be reduced by consuming less meat and more plant-based foods such as beans, nuts, and seeds," said Diego Rose, professor and director of nutrition at the School of Public Health. & Tropical Medicine at Tulane University in New Orleans and the lead author of the study."Such substitutions generally improve the healthiness of the diet and reduce its cost," Rose said by email. "But the previous studies primarily looked at diets added (across the country) or those generated by computer optimization."

For the current study, dietary data from American individuals from a nationally representative survey was linked to food-related GHGE. The researchers identified people receptive to changing their diets (potential changers) as those who reported trying the US Dietary Guide. USA And they probably accepted that humans contribute to climate change.

The study sample included 7,188 people, of whom 16% were potential changers. These were disproportionately women, highly educated, or had higher incomes compared to those who were unlikely to change their eating habits.The researchers assessed GHGE, the health of the diet as measured by the Healthy Eating Index (HEI), and the costs of dieting before and after the hypothetical changes that replace beef or all meats with poultry or foods with plant proteins .Replacing 100% of beef intake with poultry reduced average dietary GHGE by 1.38 kg of CO2 equivalent per person per day, a decrease of 35.7%. This replacement also increased the average HEI by 1.7% and reduced the average cost of the diet by 1.7%.

The most important changes occurred by replacing all intake of beef, pork, or poultry with plant-protein foods: GHGE decreased by 49.6%, average HEI increased by 8.7%, and diet costs decreased by 10.5%.Hypothetical replacements in potential changers only resulted in whole-population reductions in 1-day dietary GHGE from 1.2% to 6.7%, the researchers calculated.That's because the production of red meat (beef or lamb) is responsible for 10 times the emissions of greenhouse gases like chicken and 20 times that of nuts, seeds or legumes, Rose said. Cows produce a lot of methane in their digestive systems, which is a powerful greenhouse gas."All animal products have a greater impact than plants because you have to raise the animals as well as the crops to feed them," Rose said. "So when people eat less meat, less meat will be produced, with less impact on the environment."

Plant-based diets are healthier because they have more fiber, less saturated fat, and less sodium compared to processed meats, Rose added. Such diets promote reduced levels of LDL cholesterol in the blood, lower blood pressure and, ultimately, reduced rates of cardiovascular disease, Rose said.

A limitation of the study is that potential "changers" were already consuming less beef and pork at the start of the study than other people, and the researchers did not know exactly how much meat they consumed. This makes it difficult to accurately estimate how much your meat consumption could reduce or what impact this could have on the climate.

Another limitation is that the researchers did not investigate other dietary changes that could accompany a reduction in beef consumption or determine any side effects on production, market supply, beef prices, or eating habits. of those who do not change.

Food production also has other environmental impacts, particularly on water and land use, that were not examined in the study.

Still, the results should provide additional encouragement to people who are willing and ready to cut down on red meat and consume more plant-based foods, said Dr. John Potter of the University of Public Health Research Center at the University of Massey in Wellington, New Zealand.

"The way forward is based on plants," Potter, who was not involved in the study, said by email.

"Start with meatless Mondays, gradually but steadily move toward a major reduction, take time to adapt and learn from plant-based cuisines around the world," Potter advised. "We don't all need to be vegan or vegetarian, but as Western societies, we are eating about 10 times more meat than we have seen in human history, 10 times more meat than is good for the planet, and 10 times more meat than it's good for our health. "

The Biggest Loser diet is an at-home weight loss program inspired by the reality television show of the same name.

The plan claims to transform your body via healthier eating and exercise habits, including a strict low calorie regimen.

Still, you may wonder how effective it is.

This article tells you whether the Biggest Loser diet is a good choice for weight loss.

BOTTOM LINE: The Biggest Loser eating plan promotes weight loss by restricting calories and encouraging a diet comprising nutrient-dense, whole foods. Yet, it may curb your calorie intake excessively and it can be difficult to maintain.

Like many other weight loss diets, the Biggest Loser diet is a low calorie eating program. It also stresses regular exercise.

Its meal plans provide 1,2001,500 calories per day and include 3 meals, plus 23 snacks from whole foods. The diets guidebook claims that eating frequently helps keep you full, balances your hormone levels, and provides energy for regular exercise (1).

Shop for the Biggest Loser diet guidebooks online.

Youre meant to plan and cook most meals on your own, carefully counting calories and weighing and measuring foods. Youre further encouraged to keep a daily food log or journal.

Before starting the diet, its best to calculate your individual calorie needs. Start by using an app or website to determine what youre currently eating.

For a safe 12 pounds (0.50.9 kg) of weight loss each week, subtract 5001,000 calories from the number of daily calories youre currently eating and use that as your initial calorie goal (2).

The diet stipulates that 45% of your daily calories come from carbs like vegetables, fruits, and whole grains, 30% from dairy and animal or plant protein, and 25% from healthy fats like nuts, seeds, and olive oil, as well as sugar-free or low sugar desserts.

The Biggest Loser 4-3-2-1 food pyramid provides a visual guide for the diet. It recommends (1):

With its focus on nutrient-dense whole foods, especially fruits and vegetables, the Biggest Loser pyramid resembles the dietary recommendations from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) (3).

The Biggest Loser diet is based on the reality TV series of the same name. Its a reduced calorie eating plan that relies on whole, nutrient-dense foods meant to keep you feeling full throughout the day.

Given that it slashes your calorie intake, the Biggest Loser diet should help you lose weight. You may experience even more benefits if you combine it with exercise.

However, you shouldnt expect the same results as the previous television show participants, who lost an average of 128 pounds (58 kg) over 30 weeks (4).

They did so by eating only 1,300 daily calories and engaging in over 3 hours of vigorous exercise each day with a trainer (4).

Various weight loss studies lasting 1052 weeks indicate that low calorie diets result in an average weight loss of 22 pounds (9.9 kg) from diet alone. Those who add exercise experience a whopping 29 pounds (13 kg) of weight loss, on average (5).

The Biggest Loser diet is considered a moderate or balanced macronutrient diet, which means that its not excessively high in protein, fat, or carbs. In fact, it adheres closely to the Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Range (AMDR) set by the Institute of Medicine (6).

Other popular types of weight loss diets include low carb or low fat diets.

In a yearlong study in 7,285 people comparing various diets, including the Biggest Loser diet, low fat and low carb eating patterns result in slightly more weight loss than moderate macronutrient diets (7).

However, all participants lost significant amounts of weight, regardless of their diet (5).

If you follow the Biggest Loser diets meal plans and exercise recommendations, you may stand to shed a significant amount of weight.

The Biggest Loser diet may have a few other benefits.

First, it may help you become a healthier eater because it incorporates whole, nutrient-dense foods and skips junk and fast food. It also stresses the importance of reading labels, measuring portion sizes, and keeping a food journal.

Using the Biggest Loser food pyramid to plan meals and snacks may likewise improve your diet quality. Researchers found this to be true for Americans who used the USDAs food pyramid to plan meals (8).

In fact, it may even reduce your cravings.

An analysis of 9 studies revealed that after 12 weeks, people who stuck to a low calorie diet had fewer cravings overall and fewer specific hankerings for sweets, starches, and high fat foods (9).

The Biggest Loser diet may curb your cravings for sweets and junk foods, as well as improve your diet quality.

If you follow the Biggest Loser diet strictly, your daily calorie intake may be too low especially if youre exercising intensely.

The authors recommend eating no fewer than 1,200 calories per day. However, for most men and many women, eating so few calories may leave you hungry and fatigued.

Furthermore, long term, severe calorie restriction may result in nutrient deficiencies that can trigger sensitivity to cold, the disruption of menstrual cycles, bone loss, and lower sex drive (10).

The diet is also heavily focused on reading food labels, counting calories, and eliminating high calorie foods. Occasional dining out is permitted, but its essential to plan it into your daily calories.

Although these tips may all benefit weight loss, some people may find it time consuming, overly restrictive, and difficult to maintain particularly in the long run.

Maintaining lost weight is a common challenge among weight loss programs, including the Biggest Loser (5, 11).

In fact, the television show has received significant criticism not only for its drastic weight loss methods but also because contestants regained most of their weight upon followup (4, 12).

Notably, it isnt unusual to regain half of the weight you lose in the first year after any diet program due in part to a slowdown in your metabolism. Also, many people slip back into old habits (11).

If you can maintain the diet long term, youll have a better chance of losing weight (4).

However, research reveals that more people succeed at maintaining weight loss if they have some type of group or individual support, which the Biggest Loser diet doesnt provide (13).

The Biggest Loser diet may be dangerously low in calories and overly strict or time consuming for some people. In addition, theres no one-on-one or group support available.

This Biggest Loser diet emphasizes a variety of fresh, whole foods. Because few if any whole foods are banned and no foods are required, the plan is also flexible if you have dietary restrictions.

Fruits, non-starchy vegetables, and minimally processed whole grains will fill most of your plate. Starchy vegetables like sweet potatoes or squash are limited to just once or twice per week.

Protein choices include skinless poultry, leaner cuts of beef like sirloin or tenderloin, and seafood. Fattier fish, such as salmon and sardines, are encouraged for their omega-3 fats, but remember that theyre higher in calories than lean fish.

Vegetarian protein options include all legumes, plus soy products like tofu and tempeh. Egg whites and low fat or fat-free dairy products, including milk, nonfat yogurt, and low fat cheese, are also recommended sources of protein.

Youre meant to limit nuts, seeds, avocados, oils, and other high fat foods to only 100 calories per day.

The diets only other limited foods are sweets, snack treats, and alcohol, which are restricted to 100 calories per day. In fact, youre encouraged to skip these extras and instead allocate the 100 calories to healthy food choices.

The Biggest Loser diet provides a variety of low calorie, whole foods. Youre able to eat from every food group but should closely monitor your intake of fats and desserts.

Here is a 1,500 calorie menu for 1 day on the Biggest Loser diet.

A typical days menu on the Biggest Loser diet includes three small, balanced meals and two snacks. Youll eat several servings of fruits and vegetables, plus lean proteins and some whole grains.

The Biggest Loser diet is a low calorie eating plan based on the reality television show of the same name.

It has been shown to aid weight loss by stressing meal planning, calorie counting, and portion control. Its meals are comprised of high fiber fruits, vegetables, and whole grains balanced with low fat proteins and small amounts of healthy fat.

Yet, it may dangerously restrict calories for some people and can be challenging to adhere to. Whats more, theres no support during or after the program to help you maintain weight loss.

Still, if youre looking to eat healthy and shed weight at the same time, the Biggest Loser diet may be worth a shot.

A link between a high-fiber diet and a lower risk of breast cancer has been found according to a recently published analysis of relevant studies.

The findings, which were published in the peer-reviewed journal of the American Cancer Society (ACS) called Cancer, showed a link between a reduced incidence of breast cancer when consuming a diet heavy in fiber.

RELATED:New study suggests weight gain may reduce breast cancer risk

Our study contributes to the evidence that lifestyle factors, such as modifiable dietary practices, may affect breast cancer risk, saidMaryam Farvid, Ph,D., of the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, in a press release.

For their analysis, Farvid and her colleagues probed for all pertinent potential studies published through July 2019. Researches did so because studies reviewing the possible link between breast cancer and fiber-rich diets have given rise to inconsistent results.

Pooling data from the 20 observational studies the researchers surveyed, they foundindividuals who consumed the highest amount of fiber had an 8% lower risk of breast cancer. Higher fiber intake was associated with a lower risk in breast cancer in premenopausal and postmenopausal women. A lower risk of breast cancer was also linked to soluble fiber.

RELATED:These two common foods could lower breast cancer risk, study suggests

Our findings provide research evidence supporting the American Cancer Society dietary guidelines, emphasizing the importance of a diet rich in fiber, including fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, Farvid said.

Its important to note, however, thatthe analysis does not show dietary fiber consumption results in a direct reduction of the risk of breast cancer risk. To test such cause and effect, a randomized clinical trial is required.

Eating more than the recommended amount of salt disrupts the antibacterial function of a type of immune cell, research in mice and humans has found.

According to the American Heart Association (AHA), 9 out of 10 people in the United States consume too much salt (sodium chloride).

The Dietary Guidelines for Americans, which the Department of Health and Human Services publish, recommend that people consume no more than 2.3 grams (g) of sodium per day. This amount is roughly equivalent to 5.8 g of salt, which would fit into a level teaspoon.

The reason for the recommendation is that there is good evidence that excess dietary salt raises blood pressure, which is a risk factor for heart disease and stroke.

However, a new study featuring in Science Translational Medicine suggests for the first time that such a diet could also make it harder for the immune system to destroy bacteria in some human organs.

Researchers at the University Hospital of Bonn in Germany were surprised to discover that a high salt diet in mice exacerbated a common bacterial infection of the kidneys Escherichia coli.

To test whether the deleterious result of a high salt diet was purely a local effect on the kidneys, the researchers infected the mice with Listeria and found that this body-wide, systemic infection was also worse on a high salt diet.

These findings were unexpected because previous research has found that excess dietary salt promotes healing in animals infected with skin parasites.

Skin acts as a reservoir for excess salt, and immune cells in the skin called macrophages are known to become more active in these salty conditions.

In contrast, it seems that a different type of immune response cell, the neutrophil, which is key to the body fighting bacterial kidney infections, becomes less effective in the face of a high salt diet. The researchers were intrigued to find out why.

In the rest of the body, however, the kidneys help maintain the concentration of salt at optimum levels for metabolism by excreting excess sodium.

The new study suggests that in the process of the kidneys regulating high blood sodium levels, they inhibit one arm of the immune system, impairing its ability to fight off bacterial infections.

The researchers fed one group of mice a high salt diet and gave a normal diet to a control group of mice for comparison.

When infected with Listeria, the liver and spleen of mice on the high salt diet contained 10100 times more bacteria than those of the controls.

Similarly, excess dietary salt made kidney infections with E. coli worse.

The researchers traced this impaired ability to fight off bacterial infections to immune cells called neutrophils, which ingest bacteria.

They believe that the kidneys response to high dietary salt may indirectly affect the neutrophils.

The kidneys use a molecular mechanism for detecting excess sodium in the bloodstream and excreting it in the urine.

But in the process, this mechanism raises levels of steroid hormones called glucocorticoids, as well as a waste product called urea.

Both glucocorticoids and urea inhibit the ability of neutrophils to kill bacteria.

To confirm these findings in humans, the researchers put volunteers on a high salt diet.

One of the scientists, Prof. Christian Kurts from the Institute of Experimental Immunology, University of Bonn, explains:

We examined volunteers who consumed 6 g of salt in addition to their daily intake. This is roughly the amount contained in two fast food meals, i.e., two burgers and two portions of French fries.

After a week on the high salt diet, the volunteers had higher levels of glucocorticoids in their bodies.

Glucocorticoids are well-known for their immunosuppressant properties. Doctors use one of the most familiar, cortisone, clinically to reduce inflammation.

In addition, the researchers discovered that neutrophils that they extracted from the blood of volunteers on the high salt diet were less effective at killing bacteria in a laboratory dish.

In their paper, the scientists speculate that reducing dietary salt intake might help combat bacterial infections in the kidney, in contrast to its effect on skin and gut infections.

Their findings are preliminary, however, and need larger clinical studies to confirm them.

No regrets. In a recent video interview discussing everything she eats in a day, model Tyra Banks revealed shes gained about 30 pounds since appearing on the cover of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue in May 2019.

I have a very interesting relationship with food. I have to say that it is one of the most important things in my life, the former Americas Next Top Model host, 46, told Harpers Bazaar in a video interview posted on Friday, April 3. A lot of my personal life, and the things that I like to do and my hobby is food.

Banks added that shes partial to finding new restaurants, challenging herself not to visit the same eatery within six months, scouting out food festivals and visiting supper clubs. Food is such an integral part of her life, she noted, that its led to a change in her body.

Right now, you cant tell because I have on a mens blazer, [but] I am 25 pounds heavier than I was on the cover of a very famous swimsuit magazine that came out last year, she dished.

Banks famously made history in May 2019 when she came out of retirement and posed for the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover at the age of 45. That feat came 22 years after the model first appeared on the Sports Illustrated cover and was the first black model to do so.

These days, instead of being extra careful with what she eats, the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air alum said shes not choosing to deny herself when it comes to food. Its like, when youre tired and youre working hard, you just go to this fast food and this fast food and this fast food, and you compare the burgers!

The Tyras Beauty Inside & Out author added with a smile: So Im 30 pounds heavier and itll come off one day, but not today.

As for what she eats in a day, the model revealed shes a fan of black coffee, bean chips, sesame bars and more.

The California native even has an indulgent habit that involves ordering the same type of cuisine from two different restaurants and comparing the results in an epic taste test. I do it with my son, I do it with my man, we line it up and then we score the different restaurants with the same item. What happens is, the next time you order, you know where to order from because one of them is always nasty.

Even though shes not much of a cook herself, Banks revealed that one of her favorite things to make home is candied bacon coated in a sauce that includes Sriracha, maple syrup, and fresh-ground black pepper.

The key to living longer could be to eat a healthy, balanced diet - including at least five portions of fruit and vegetables every day - as well as regular exercise. But you could boost your life expectancy by regularly eating berries, it's been claimed.

Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including a well-rounded diet is crucial to prolonging your lifespan.

You could also boost your lifespan by doing regular exercise. Its the miracle cure weve all been waiting for, according to the NHS.

Making some small diet or lifestyle changes could help to increase your life expectancy and avoid an early death.

Regularly eating a handful of berries could improve the health of your heart, its been claimed.

Berries are a nutritious, heart-healthy snack for everyone, according to dietitian Juliette Kellow and nutritionist Dr Sarah Brewer.

Theyre rich in antioxidants and fibre, which contribute to cardiovascular improvements, they said.

Eating just three or more servings of berries every week could lower your risk of a heart attack by as much as 34 per cent, they revealed.

All berries are good for you - the vibrant blues, purples, and reds of this supergroup are an indication that they are packed with damage-fighting antioxidants, they wrote in their book Eat Better Live Longer - Understand What Your Body Needs To Stay Healthy.

But not all berries are created equal - some are better than others when it comes to longevity.

All berries have been linked to cardiovascular improvements [its the winning combination of antioxidants and fibre].

Research shows that eating at least three servings of blueberries or strawberries a week can reduce the risk of a heart attack.

The high levels of polyphenols in berries have also been shown to lower high blood pressure.

You could also lower risk of some cancers by regularly eating berries, they added.

Theyre rich in phytochemicals; many of which have cancer-fighting properties. They may be particularly useful in protecting against oesophageal, breast and colon cancers.

For the most nutritious effects, you should keep them in the fridge for optimum levels of vitamin C.

Eating five portions of fruit and vegetables every week is the best way to make sure you lead a long and healthy life.

As cases of coronavirus continue to rise, taking daily precautions such as washing your hands, social distancing, exercising and getting enough sleep is key to lowering risk of infection.

But maintaining a healthy diet to help boost your immune system may also give you an edge. It's important to note that no research has been done on foods that help fight against COVID-19 specifically.

However, previous studies have found that eating certain foods can improve your health and strengthen your body's ability to fight other invasive viruses.

Here are nine expert-approved foods to stock up on during your next grocery store trip, along with creative ideas on how to add them to your diet:

Broccoli is also rich in vitamin C. Just half a cup contains 43% of your daily value of vitamin C, according to the NIH.

"Broccoli is packed with phytochemicals and antioxidants that support our immune system," says Sarin. It also contains vitamin E, an antioxidant that can help fight off bacteria and viruses.

According to the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, vitamin C is one nutrient Americans aren't getting enough of in their diet, so finding simple ways to add it in is crucial.

"To get the most out of this powerhouse vegetable, eat it raw or just slightly cooked," says Sarin. "I love sauteing broccoli with garlic and Parmesan, or stir-frying with bell peppers, ginger, garlic and mushrooms."

Chickpeas contain a lot of protein, an essential nutrient made of amino acids that help grow and repair the body's tissues. It's also involved in synthesizing and maintaining enzymes to keep our systems functioning properly,according to the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.

"Chickpeas are also packed with zinc, which helps the immune system control and regulate immune responses,"Emily Wunder, a dietitian and founder of the nutritious recipes siteHealthier Taste, tells CNBC Make It.

Roasted chickpeas are great as a quick great snack or salad topper. Make sure they're completely dry before roasting. Then add a few tablespoons of oil (vegetable, canola or grapeseed oil all work well) and bake at 400 degrees Fahrenheit, stirring halfway through until they're crispy.

For a nice kick, Wunder suggests adding some salt and paprika.If you're using canned chickpeas, she says you'll want to rinse them thoroughly to cut down on sodium content.

Wunder enjoys half a cup of strawberries to get 50% of her vitamin C needs for the day.

"Vitamin C is great for strengthening your immune system," she says, because it can help protect cells from damage caused by free radicals that we're often exposed to in the environment.

Wunder recommends adding chopped strawberries to yogurt, oatmeal or on top of whole wheat toast with peanut butter. "Of course, they go well with smoothies, too," she says.

"Not only is garlic full of flavor, but it's packed with health benefits such as lowering blood pressure and reducing risk of heart disease," according to Sarin. "Garlic's immunity-boosting abilities come from its heavy concentration of sulfur-containing compounds, which can help fight off some infections."

Garlic has been shown in the past to help ward off the common cold. In a 2001 study published in Advances in Therapy, participants who took garlic supplements were less likely to catch a cold. And those who did get infected recovered faster than participants in the placebo group.

It's an easy vegetable to work into your diet, says Sarin. You can add to it anything from pasta sauce and salad dressings to soups and stir-fry dishes. She suggests aiming to consume two to three cloves per day.

"While sun exposure is the best source of vitamin D, it can also be provided by some foods, including mushrooms," says Wunder.

A 2018 review of mushrooms as a vitamin D source found that the "sunshine vitamin" can help enhance the absorption of calcium, which is good for bone health, and may also protect against some cancers and respiratory diseases.

Mushrooms are great as a side dish or appetizer. Wunder recommends roasting them at about 350 degrees Fahrenheit, using one to two tablespoons of oil, minced garlic and a dash of salt and pepper. For something more flavorful, bake button mushrooms stuffed with cheese, onion andartichokehearts.

"Spinach is rich in vitamin C and full of antioxidants that help shield our immune cells from environmental damage," says Sarin. "Plus, it has beta carotene, which is the main dietary source of vitamin A an essential component of proper immune function."

Like broccoli, it's best to consume spinach raw or slightly cooked. To incorporate more spinach into your diet, Sarin suggests blending it in a smoothie, cooking it with your morning eggs or, as an easy side dish, lightly sauteing with garlic.

"Yogurt is a great source of probiotics, which are good bacteria that can help promote a healthy gut and immune system," says Sarin.Recent studies have also found probiotics to be effective for fighting the common cold and influenza-like respiratory infections.

Sarin recommends choosing plain yogurt rather than anything too flavored or sweetened and topping it with fruit and honey. "Or, you can add it to your favorite post-workout smoothie," she says.

Those on a dairy-free diet can still benefit from almond-milk and coconut-milk yogurt options.

"Sunflower seeds are high in vitamin E, which works as an antioxidant and helps boosts the immune system," says Wunder.
