- Fruits rich in vitamin C
Indeed, citrus fruits are not the only foods that provide a generous dose of vitamin C and immune-supporting benefits! Contrary to what one might think, there is a little berry straight from the Caribbean packed with vitamin C, far more than any citrus fruit: acerola. Consuming it helps strengthen your immune system, your body and your overall health.

- Vegetables with super-powers
There is a good reason we have been told to eat plenty of vegetables since childhood! Indeed, vegetables are naturally rich in fibre and essential minerals such as magnesium, calcium and potassium. They also help stimulate your immune system and defences thanks to numerous health-supporting properties. For instance, red peppers are rich in vitamin C, spinach in iron and beta-carotene, while broccoli is a source of antioxidants and vitamins A, C and E.
- Green tea, an excellent antioxidant
To keep your body functioning properly, focus on fruits, vegetables and foods with antioxidant properties. Green tea helps you resist winter viruses while strengthening your cells and immune defences. Luckily, at Kusmi Tea, our range is brimming with green tea-based products: the choice is yours!

Garlic and its thousand benefits
It contains allicin, which supports the effectiveness of white blood cells. These play an essential role in the action of your immune defences, as they are the ones fighting viruses. Boosting them, by adapting your daily diet, will help to sustainably strengthen your immune system.
