When you have a cold, it is important to eat right. This will strengthen your body and help it fight viruses faster.
Nutritionist Elena Solomatina told us which foods you should pay attention to when you are sick.
The publication News.ru writes about this in more detail.
As the doctor noted, the diet should be complete and accompanied by plenty of fluids. Dairy products, butter, egg yolk, and other products containing vitamins of group A should be included in the diet.
It is also important to remember the importance of vitamin D and zinc. They are needed for immunity and the nervous system.
The largest amount of zinc can be found in seafood, such as shrimp or oysters. Beef liver is also rich in this element.
You can also take the required amount of this element from pumpkin seeds.
You also need vitamin C, which is found in black currants, sea buckthorn, and bell peppers.
It is advisable to eat as many berries as possible. Frozen products will be better absorbed. They will have an anti-inflammatory effect, as will garlic and onions.
