According to a wellness and health expert the most convenient way to boost a person’s immunity is to provide him with fruits and vegetables especially the colored ones.
A study published in Phytonutrient Report reports 80% of Americans to miss out on many of the health benefits from those colored fruits and vegetables. This kind of results in what is called phytonutrient gap.
Fruits and vegetable especially in the green, red, white, blue/purple and yellow/orange are especially very beneficial to boost body immunity.
