First I went researching the net for foods that can enhance your immunity and I was surprised to find that in the list for top 15 foods there was 13 plant sourced foods and only 2 animal based diet. Here's the list
Yogurt
Yogurt that contains live cultures is rich in lactobacillus acidophilus and bifidobacterium lactis (read: good bacteria), which fight bacteria that cause diseases and raise your white blood cell count.
Green Tea
Green tea is a great source of L-theanine, an amino acid that triggers the release of germ-fighting compounds from your T-cells. (Green tea also helps to boost your metabolism.)
Oranges
One of the best sources of immunity-boosting vitamin C, oranges cause your body to produce higher levels of antibodies and white blood cells.
Garlic
Garlic is loaded with ajoene, allicin and thiosulfinates, compounds high in sulfur that ward off diseases and help battle infections.
Carrots
Carrots are crammed with beta carotene, a phytonutrient that increases your body’s production of T-cells and natural killer cells.
Spinach
The high amount of antioxidants found in spinach help boost your immune system.
Sweet Potatoes
Like carrots, sweet potatoes are loaded with beta carotene, which boosts your body’s T-cell and NK-cell count.
Mushrooms
Rich in compounds called beta glucans, mushrooms boost the production of NK-cells and T-cells in your body to help prevent infections.
Kiwi
Like oranges, kiwis are high in vitamin C, which helps protect your body against infections.
Bell Peppers
Bell peppers are packed with vitamin C, which prompts your body to produce more interferon. This antibody covers the surface of cells and fends off viruses.
Broccoli
Broccoli is a great source of glucosinolates, phytonutrients rich in sulfur that stimulate the natural antioxidant systems in your body.
Barley
Like mushrooms, barley contains a high amount of beta glucans, known for their antioxidant and antimicrobial properties.
Animal source
Crab and salmon.
But before you think that even 2 sources is enough for you to savagely consume them here is another view on meat about how it affects your immunity,source:- http://www.natural-cancer-cures.com/meat-and-sugar.html
