Households in the UK are being urged to eat certain foods for an immunity boost this autumn, a nutrition expert has advised.

As autumn rolls in, so does the comeback of coughs, colds and sneezes. But instead of reaching for cold and flu tablets, experts say the secret weapon for staying well is eating correctly.

Nutrition specialist Lara Giusti of Veloforte says that the trick is stocking up on foods packed with key vitamins and minerals before the chill truly sets in.

The expert recommends changing your eating habits during the colder months and suggests eating foods such as mushrooms, egg yolks and salmon.
