2/7Sweet potato

Sweet potatoes provide the greatest amount of beta-carotene from all vegetables. Yes, even more than carrots. They even contain more than your daily requirement of Vitamin A. This nutrient assists in keeping the mucous lining in your nose healthy. And this acts as the first defence against bacteria and fungus that causes the colds and flu. Vitamin A also makes white blood cells, which fight off infections.

3/7Garlic

Garlic has sulphur-containing elements that can fight off the viruses responsible for the common cold and flu. However, garlic should be treated and consumed in the right way. Letting it stand for 10 minutes post slicing and crushing is advised.

4/7Bell peppers

They contain higher quantities of Vitamin C than citrus fruits and are also rich in beta-carotene. Vitamin C helps fight antibodies which eventually helps fight infections.
