Health is wealth they say, and there is a lot of wisdom in that statement. Whether you are a student, a father, a mother, a career person, a businessman, a housewife or whatsoever thing you do in life, without a sound health, success would be forlorn.
There are certain foods that can help boost your immune system, and shouldn’t be taken for granted. These foods have certain nutritional values that help fight against disease-causing microorganisms.
1. SWEET POTATOES
Sweet potatoes are really a good source of beta-carotene which the body converts into vitamin A. It makes the skin stay strong and healthy; the skin acts as the first line of defence in repelling viruses and bacteria that would bring harm to your body. Without the skin being healthy, the body would be faced with undesired free radicals that would cause loads of harm. The antioxidant in sweet potatoes also helps reduce the risk of cancer.
