Learn more With changeable weather, a new Covid variant and summer colds rife, it seems many Brits are feeling unwell. But Prep Kitchen Nutritional Therapist (BSc) Kerry Beeson says there are natural ways to boost your immunity and give your body the best chance to stay healthy.
Turmeric is one such way, with Kerry explaining: "Turmeric is a great spice to consume more. The most active compound in turmeric is curcumin, which has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antiviral properties." She added: "To ensure your body is absorbing it effectively, it works best combined with oil and black pepper.
Try adding it to warming foods such as soups and curries." Another household staple is garlic, Kerry said: "Garlic is another great household staple to always have in your cupboard. The common ingredient contains a compound called allicin which has antioxidant, antibacterial and antiviral benefits, making it a must-have in your immunity-boosting tool kit.
As is usually the case, it is best fresh but dried or frozen garlic will still have these benefits." function loadOvpScript(){let el=document.createElement('script');el.
