What is the most appropriate food to eat when you have a low immune system?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Foods/Immunity: I am not certain what you mean by "a low immune system". If you have a medical condition, like malabsorption, immunodeficiency or cancer treated with chemotherapy, you may need certain vitamin supplements. Otherwise, maintaining a normal diet with fruits, vegetables and whole grains, limiting saturated fats and maintaining a normal wieght should be fine for normal immune function.
