Pineapple is also loaded with phytochemicals called flavonoids, which have potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that help protect against cardiovascular disease and certain types of cancers.

This refreshing iced tea is packed with protective antioxidants. Antioxidants are a vital part of our body’s defence system against cell- damaging free radicals that increase our risk of disease.

a vibrant medley of festive fruit flavours, fragrant spices and velvety rose. The classic Glühwein formulation has plant compounds that are antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial, which may naturally aid digestion, balance blood sugar, enhance circulation, fortify immunity and invigorate energy. You can enjoy the tea as a daily tonic or in recipes to create warming winter wine, summer sangrias, fruit minced pies or poached fruits.

Tofu will provide you with a good dose of non-haem iron. This important mineral is needed for strengthening the immune system. We need good levels of iron to produce white blood cells and antibodies to protect us from viruses and bacteria and other illness-causing microbes. People with low iron levels often have weakened immune function and are more vulnerable to catching colds and flu and other infections.
