Immunity-suppressing: Dried fruit
Dried fruit seems to be everywhere once the cold weather arrives. It’s in warm boozy drinks, baked desserts, and breakfast pastries. Unfortunately, dried fruit is incredibly high in sugar, and when your body experiences a spike in blood sugar, that can suppress your immune system. Stick to fresh fruits, even if they aren’t as festive as the dried stuff.
