The end of summer is the best time to think about strengthening your immunity for everyone who hasn’t thought about it before.
As autumn approaches, we remember colds, the infamous new type of coronavirus, and other seasonal ailments.
Nutritionist Elena Solomatina told Life.ru in an interview about what you need to eat to strengthen your immune system.
It's not about vitamins. The nutritionist noted that up to 80% of the immune system depends on the intestinal tract.
What to eat to strengthen your immune system
The daily diet should contain about 500 grams of fiber, which is found in whole grain cereals and bread, greens, vegetables, fruits and berries. Vegetables, berries and fruits are also antioxidants that reduce the level of inflammation in the body and strengthen its defenses, the specialist said.
The diet should also include fermented milk products - kefir, ryazhenka, acidophilus. Products that are sources of vitamin C, as well as protein (of plant and animal origin) are a must.
It is also important to eat lard. And a small piece is enough.
It contains arachidonic acid, which is useful in strengthening the immune system.
You should also pay attention to fatty fish, beef liver and bananas.
