Broccoli
Broccoli is a superfood, as it contains numerous minerals (potassium, selenium, magnesium, calcium, and potassium), protein, fibres, antioxidants, and vitamins folate, A, C, E, and K. The vitamins and antioxidants in broccoli fight free radicals, which emerge from various metabolic processes in our bodies & thus protect us from these diseases.
We can include Broccoli in our diet in the form of soup or in salads. Broccoli soup can be a hot, tasty, and healthy choice during the rainy season, Sidhhi adds here.
Ginger

Ginger can be consumed in various dishes. But during monsoon, a cup of hot ginger tea is like heaven which definitely further improves your immunity.
Spinach
This famous green leafy vegetable is a blessing, as it is rich in astonishing nutrients. During monsoon, spinach is a readily available vegetable, and we can include them in various ways in our diet, including soups, pasta, curries, snacks, and bread. It is rich in numerous nutrients, vitamins, and antioxidants. The abundance of magnesium, vitamin E, and beta-carotene (an antioxidant) in spinach, makes it an immunity-booster food as it increases the infection-fighting potential of our immune system. It also protects us from harmful toxins.
Oranges
The pandemic showed us the importance of Vitamin C which is most commonly known for immunity boosting. Oranges contain this vitamin in an extensive amount. This citrus fruit also contains other nutrients, such as calcium, phosphorus, potassium, and magnesium, which enhance our overall health. The vitamin C in oranges strengthens our immunity by encouraging the production of immune cells and protecting them from oxidative damage. So, include oranges in your diet during this rainy season to fight the infection.
Pomegranates
This fruit with those rubies in it is one of the healthiest fruits and is famous for its extensive health benefits. Pomegranate is a good source of vitamins, especially A, C, E, and folate. Pomegranates contain numerous antioxidants that have anti-viral, antioxidant, and anti-cancer properties. Therefore, daily eating pomegranates or drinking their juice can boost your immunity and help fight chronic diseases, control high blood pressure, enhance digestion, and be beneficial to the skin.
