One easy superfood to add to your diet is wheat germ. It will boost your immune system. You will get an abundance of zinc from eating wheat germ.

T-cells belong to the adaptive immune system. There are specific T Cells to fight different diseases and bacteria. Zinc is very important for T-cells, as it helps activate them so they can strengthen your immune system. You can easily consume 17 milligrams of zinc with just 100 grams of wheat germ. This is more than enough to keep your body healthy. A variety of dishes lend themselves to having wheat germ added. You can sprinkle raw or toasted wheat germ on your food.

If you want to be healthy and have a super powered immune system, you need to be drinking tea. Most of you know, of course, that drinking adequate fluids is very important to your overall health. You don't want to become dehydrated. If you make it a habit to drink about 2-1/2 cups of tea daily, your body will produce the extra interferon required by your T cells for their health. What the interferon does is surround the T cells so they cannot be attacked by various germs and bacteria that can lead to illness. Any tea you drink can help with this, but there are other benefits, as well, if you drink an herbal tea.
