Eating these seven foods can improve immunity]
1. Ganoderma lucidum: Ganoderma lucidum can enhance the immunity of the human body. This is because Ganoderma lucidum contains polysaccharides with anti-cancer effect. In addition, it is also rich in germanium. Germanium can accelerate the body's metabolism, delay cell senescence, and exert its anti-cancer effect by inducing the human body to produce interferon.
2. Fresh radish: It has an immune effect because of its rich interferon inducer.
3. Royal jelly: can improve the body's immunity and endocrine regulation ability, and contains bee lactic acid (10-HDA) with anti-cancer effect.
4. Hericium erinaceus, straw mushroom, black fungus, white fungus, lily, etc.: all have the effect of significantly enhancing immunity.
5. Mushrooms: The lentinan contained in shiitake mushrooms can enhance human immunity.
6. Seaweed: British researchers discovered in the 1990s that seaweed can kill cancer cells and enhance immunity. The polysaccharides in seaweed have various biological activities such as anti-aging, lowering blood lipids, and anti-tumor. The alginic acid contained in seaweed also helps to remove toxic metals from the human body, such as strontium and cadmium. In addition, seaweed can prevent and treat peptic ulcers, delay aging, and help women keep their skin smooth and healthy.
7. Propolis: Propolis contains the most abundant flavonoids and other biologically active ingredients. Pharmacological and clinical studies have proved that propolis can effectively improve the immune function of the body. In addition, long-term use of propolis can reduce the occurrence of chronic diseases in adults and improve diabetes and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
Foods that boost immunity
【Top 10 immune boosting foods】
① Carrots are rich in carotene, which has the functions of anti-oxidation, inhibiting the growth of free radicals and improving immunity.
② The allicin contained in garlic is an effective natural antibiotic, which has a good inhibitory and killing effect on a variety of pathogenic bacteria, and can effectively improve the body's disease resistance.
③ Xiangru contains fungal polysaccharides that can improve immunity. Studies have shown that shiitake mushrooms also contain interfering organisms, which can induce the production of interferon in the body and have the effect of preventing colds.
④ Seafood is a high-quality protein source. It contains all the essential fatty acids necessary for the human body. It is also rich in vitamins and trace elements such as calcium, iron, zinc, magnesium and phosphorus. Studies have found that zinc can help restore the immune system function that is being damaged.
⑤ Honey contains a variety of minerals and vitamins, which are necessary for human metabolism. It also contains a variety of antioxidants, which can scavenge free radicals that cause diseases in the human body.
⑥ The tea experiment proved that the theanine in tea can strengthen the human immune system by regulating immune cells, and resist the invasion of disease and fungi. Theanine can increase the body's resistance to diseases by 5 times.
⑦ Yogurt contains a lot of lactic acid bacteria, calcium, protein, and vitamins. Regular consumption can help digestion and absorption, promote intestinal peristalsis, inhibit the reproduction of harmful bacteria, and prevent the production of toxins.
⑧ In addition to appetizing and digesting, hawthorn is also rich in flavonoids, vitamin C, carrots and other substances that can block and reduce the generation of free radicals, enhance human immunity, and have anti-aging and anti-cancer effects.
⑨ The antioxidants in aloe vera can directly inhibit the proliferation of cancer cells. Aloin A is also a rare immune activator. It can enhance the activity level of natural killer cells in the body, and can activate the macrophage system and make white blood cells. Increase, thereby enhancing the body's immunity.
⑩ Animal liver is the food with the most iron, more than fish and meat, and also contains folic acid, selenium, zinc, magnesium, copper, vitamin B6, B12, etc. These substances help promote immune function

Day 4 of Quitting
If this is how sobriety feels, maybe it’s better to go through life a little buzzed… this, along with other hits like, I want to kill myself, I wish I was dead, and I’m going to throw myself off a bridge have been the only thoughts on rotation these past few days. I promise myself that if, in a month, I still feel like this (‘this’ meaning despondent, full of rage, and simultaneously numb) I can go back to smoking. Until mid-February though? Nicotine is off the table.

Trouble at the Tea Leafing Café
The rain had started right around the time that Annie was buttering her second thick slice of homemade toast for breakfast, and hadn’t paused since. Not that anyone could tell. The windows of the café were fogged over, and with every seat filled with happy customers munching on fresh baked pastries or steaming bowls of the delicious soup of the day, it was hardly surprising. Annie looked around the room, finally taking a moment to breathe after the lunch time rush. Her old life already felt like a bad memory, a part of her history, always, but just that. History.
