3. Ginger

Ginger is a very popular item, rather considered as a spice, in the South Asian countries, Bangladesh and India to be particular.

People from all walks of life use ginger in a variety of dishes and desserts. According to different study findings, ginger is supposed to have anti-inflammatory and antioxidative properties and is most likely to offer health benefits. So, next time you want to have a cup of tea, ask your partner to make ginger tea for you. It will not only refresh yourself but also give a boost to your immune system.

4. Spinach

This vegetable is available in the local markets and the good news is that it’s packed with numerous antioxidants and beta carotene, both of which have the ability to contribute to your immune system.

However, don’t cook it too much as it offers the most nutrients when it’s half cooked.

Papaya is another cheap fruit that is loaded with vitamin C. You can buy it from any makeshift vegetable shop or even ask your relatives living in the countryside to send some for you.

Apart from Vitamin C, they also contain a digestive enzyme called papain that has anti-inflammatory effects along with sufficient amounts of potassium, magnesium, and folate.
