Our immunity primarily depends on what products we indulge our body. After all, it is no secret that even the newborn’s immune system is formed thanks to food – mother’s milk. In the same way, an adult body always waits for a useful “fuel” to be added for it to form a full-fledged immunity.
CITRUSES
Vitamin C, which is rich in these fruits, is involved in the production of energy necessary for the synthesis of interferon – a protective immunity protein and cytokines – auxiliary substances-regulators. In addition, ascorbic acid quickly enters leukocytes and enhances their ability to capture foreign proteins. The daily dose of ascorbic acid can be found in 4 tangerines, 3 lemons, 2 oranges or 1 grapefruit. It is contraindicated in case of allergies, gastritis, gastric ulcer, thrombosis and thrombophlebitis, as well as with a tendency to form kidney stones – oxalates.
NUTS
Hazelnuts, walnuts and cashews contain the trace element selenium, which, together with vitamin E, perfectly stimulates and trains the immune system. And the Brazil nut – the leader in selenium content – is a powerful stimulant of immunity and an antioxidant. If the body lacks this element, the initially not very dangerous influenza virus is actively mutating, already being directly in the cells of the human body. In this way, all kinds of flu complications can occur.
GARLIC
Each clove of garlic is a small factory of allicin and other sulfur-containing compounds that have a bactericidal effect, primarily on the mucous membrane of the nasopharynx and mouth, and this is the gateway to viruses. Substances formed from allicin prevent blood coagulation, enhance blood circulation and, having a powerful bactericidal effect, strengthen the immune system.
GINGER
This root contains more than 10 antiviral substances that have immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory effects. In addition, ginger is considered a more effective natural antibiotic than onion and garlic. It perfectly warms the body, maintaining heat balance, has a diaphoretic effect, while eliminating toxins, and also improves blood microcirculation and improves the supply of tissues with nutrients. Buy ginger root and just add a slice of it to tea instead of lemon (or with lemon).
NATURAL HONEY
Honey is a universal cold remedy. This is due to the fact that the vitamins in this product are optimally combined with mineral salts, which play the role of catalysts in this case. Therefore, they are absorbed by the body faster. The composition of honey also contains a large amount of vitamin C and manganese, which contributes to the synthesis of this vitamin. This combination makes the body resistant to infections. To maintain this “stability”, enough 25-30 g of honey 2-3 times a day. But honey must be bought from trusted sellers in order to avoid falsification
