Now that the world suffers from the Influenza A(H1N1) pandemic it appropriate to look at how plants can help us improve our immune system to help people become resistant to diseases.  Many of nutrition papers have shown that eating dark green leafy vegetables and deeply colored vegetables provide the antioxidants that support health.  In this instance our immune system. These vegetables contain flavonoids which are polyphenols or a group of antioxidants.  Whether we like it or not plants have provided animals with enough nourishment to keep them healthy.  Even if we become sick, these polyphenols help us recover from disease much faster than without them.
So eat us eat vegetables.  A good guide is really to have all the colorful vegetables such as red, green, purple and yellow.  Make 2/3 of our meals as vegetables.
