Read this article to find out in a nutshell, what foods we should be eating to aid the immune system.
According to Harvard Health "Malnutrition or a diet lacking in one or more nutrients can impair the production and activity of immune cells and antibodies." So one of the best things we can do is eat a well balanced diet.
I recently viewed a Dr Oz show where he explained what he called the specific super foods in each food group that should be eaten daily.
He has simplified everything and has done all the research so I figure these ideas are a good bet to help the immune system.

Most people will have grown up knowing that food can help strenghthen the immune system in some ways. My grandmother always gave us lemon and honey drinks to ward off a cold or a sore throat. Some families believe in chicken soup as a panacea and in India you may grow up drinking tumeric in your tea.
Dr Oz talks about what he considers specific super foods. He gave the food groups cute names describing what they did in the body: the fighting 5, tumor torpedoes, cell commando foods, and fire fighters. Here is an explanation of his foods that aid the immune system:
The fighting 5 - fruits and vegetables - highly recommended are broccoli, tomato and carrot all lightly cooked, also acai, blueberries, oranges and strawberries. Basically eat 5 fruits and or vegetables a day.
Tumor Torpedoes - whole grains - 3 servings a day help detox the digestive system. This includes flaxseeds, oats, quinoa, whole grain bread and whole grain pasta.
Cell Commando Foods - Proteins - lean proteins such as salmon, tuna, mackerel, tofu, beans and soy milk.
Fire Fighters - herbs and spices - recommended are tumeric, garlic, curry, cinnamon, ginger, chives and basil.
