Poor nutrition increases the risk of developing colds.

The fact is that there are products that create an unfavorable environment in the body.

We are talking about vegetable oils, smoked foods, marinades, sugar and red meat.

In addition, do not overdo it with fatty acids (omega-6). If there is too much of this element, it threatens inflammation.

This statement was made by Dr. Sergei Chudakov, RT reports.

The doctor reminded that a lack of physical activity and lack of sleep negatively affect the state of the immune system.

The specialist added that stress weakens the body. In this case, it is necessary to include in the diet foods that are rich in magnesium, zinc, vitamins B and C.

As the doctor noted in a conversation with journalists, good sources of vitamins are berries, for example, blueberries, blackberries, black currants and bilberries.
