Managing your white blood cell (WBC) count is one of the most important things you can do for your overall health. Your white blood cells directly attack bacteria and pathogens that are inside your blood making you sick. It is more accurate to say that the WBC eat and ingest the bacteria. They also are responsible for building antibodies and helping you resist bacteria and viruses that you’ve encountered before. Your WBC count can dip for a variety of reasons, even when you are not sleeping enough. But you can easily raise your WBC count by eating the right fruits. Read below to see which fruits are the best for improving your WBC count.
