The fruit that fights flu

Quercetin in apples helps bolster your immune system

 Once November hits, the rest of the year is a giant sprint to the finish line. Here's the game plan for keeping healthy through it.
    Start by getting a flu shot. Then, buy yourself a bag of apples and munch away. The quercetin in apples may help bolster your immune system during vulnerable times.
Increase your Immunity:
Yep. Apples (and red onions, broccoli, and tea) are great sources of quercetin — a flavonoid that may stave off the influenza virus when the body is under stress. In a recent animal study, quercetin did just that: The normal dip in immunity that comes with physical fatigue was pretty much cancelled out by the flavonoid. If it works as well in humans, quercetin could help power the body through both physical and psychological stress.
Talk about Disease Prevention: Quercetin may not only quash the flu but also stave off health conditions like cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer's, and pancreatic cancer. So get more quercetin with all the above-mentioned fruits and veggies.
