We often reach for popular dietary supplements and non-prescription medicines, especially in autumn and winter, fearing colds or flu. However, instead of going to the pharmacy, we should rather visit the local market and buy fresh fruit and vegetables. The fruits that support immunity includes citrus and kiwi that are rich in vitamin C, as well as pears and grapes that are full of antioxidants. We may protect ourselves against infections eating beetroots and onions. On the other hand, capsaicin contained in pepper has bactericidal and anticancer qualities.
