Garlic
Garlic If you're already a fan of this sulfur-containing bulb and love cooking dishes fragranced or spiced with it, you're doing your immune system some good. As Dr. Axe explains, garlic has long been touted for its cold and flu-busting attributes, and is likely why chicken soup is such a powerful cold-fighter. "Garlic contains selenium, an essential trace mineral that helps prevent cell damage," he says. When possible, try sneaking some garlic into your meals at least twice a day, in chicken soup, in stir-fries, etc.
