Keeping Healthy for your Wedding Day.....?

Regularly eating fresh fruits and vegetables is the natural way to boost your immune system.  These great-tasting fruits and vegetables are nature's way of keeping you healthy and ensuring you feel vibrant and energetic on your Wedding Day.  
Natural foods that are high in Vitamins: A, C, E, B-6, zinc and folic acid are beneficial in supporting the immune system.  It is much more fun to eat your way to health than to take pills or supplements anyway, so here are 5 suggestions that are sure to give your immune system the boost it needs this winter.


Blueberries are high in Vitamin B, another important immune system booster. Blueberries are easily eaten plain and are also good as a topping for yogurt or cereal.

Kiwi is loaded with Vitamin C despite being very low in calories. Two medium kiwi add only 90 calories to your diet but deliver a whopping 240% of the daily value for Vitamin C. The kiwi will also provide 450 mg of potassium and four grams of dietary fibre. That is a lot of benefit from such a small fruit. Kiwi is great eaten alone, in a fruit medley, or as a topping for yogurt.


Strawberries are another Vitamin C storehouse with eight berries delivering an astonishing 160% of daily value for Vitamin C. These strawberries will also provide 170 mg of potassium while only adding 50 calories to your diet. Strawberries are great to eat alone or easily mashed into a sauce to serve as a dessert with biscuits. Strawberries also go well with a fruit salad.




Oranges are frequently associated with Vitamin C. One medium-sized orange delivers 130% or the daily value for Vitamin C. An orange also provides 250 mg of potassium yet has only 80 calories. Oranges are great eaten plain or easily juiced to make a nutritious drink.


Broccoli is an excellent source of Vitamin C with one stalk containing 220% of the daily value. This one stalk of broccoli also provides 460 mg of potassium, three grams of dietary fibre, and four grams of protein. Broccoli can be eaten raw, boiled, steamed, or served in many other cooked dishes and contains only 45 calories.



These fruits and vegetables provide tasty ways to support your immune system.  A variety of green and yellow-orange fruits and vegetables is the natural way to support your immune system or give it the boost that it deserves.  
Do yourself a favour next time you are at the market and stock up on nature's immune system boosters and have a very happy wedding day.
