Oats and Apples <\/b>Both oats and apples contain soluble fiber, which may help ward off illness by supporting the immune system. In particular, research shows that beta glucan, a type of fiber found in oats, significantly enhances the human immune system response to bacterial infection.<\/p>\n

A clinical human trial Published in the European Journal of Nutrition<\/i><\/a>, <\/b>based on a double-blind, randomized study in healthy subjects, has shown that beta-glucan helps prevent colds, improves symptoms and increases the body\u2019s potential to defend against invading pathogens.<\/p>\n

Cinnamon <\/b>can balance your blood sugar and has antibacterial and antifungal properties.<\/p>\n

Cardamom <\/b>has been used in traditional Eastern medicine to treat a variety of health concerns, from digestive issues to respiratory problems.<\/p>\n

Cloves <\/b>naturally freshen breath and aid in soothing many digestive issues.<\/p>\n
