Dr Bob Sears had his favorite list of foods that build immune systems.  These are recommended for all ages: avocado, blueberries, citrus, dried prunes and apricots, bell peppers (all colors), kale, spinach, onions, garlic, wild salmon (not farm-raised), hummus, nut butters, ground seeds, plain yogurt … the complete list is in his new book, Happy Baby, the organic guide to baby’s first 24 months. Don’t be afraid to feed these to babies when they are ready for non-liquids.  Just mush them up.  Babies and children who start eating these foods will eat them the rest of their lives.  Moms and dads, set the example and eat these foods as well.  They’ll build your immune system too! 

… for the health of your family,
