Doctors and nutritionists always remind us to eat more fruit and vegetables, especially in autumn and winter, when the weather is dry and cold. Fruit and vegetables contain several varieties of vitamins which can strength our immune system. This is extremely important at a time when Influenza A H1N1 virus is spreading so crazily.
