4. Berries
All berries have high concentrations of antioxidants to help fight off flu viruses, says Rade, but blueberries pack the most punch: When tested against other foods, blueberries were found to have more antioxidants than 40 other fruits and vegetables.
Rade recommends eating at least one serving (1/2 cup or 125 mL) of raw berries every day to help you stay healthy during the flu season. If you can’t find fresh berries during the colder months, stock up on the frozen variety.
“Eating frozen berries isn’t as good as eating them fresh, but it’s better than eating them cooked,” says Rade. Run frozen berries under cold water to thaw and eat them in salads, smoothies or yogurt parfaits.
