Our immune system goes through a very difficult period from winter to spring, because the body is especially weakened. Salvation is largely dependent on the foods we eat. These are primarily proteins found in meat and dairy products, as well as fruit and vegetables are the main sources of vitamins, without which it is impossible to create new immune cells.
Fruits for immunity from colds and flu.
Citrus. Oranges, tangerines, lemons, grapefruits and other citrus fruits contain vitamin C. When peeling citrus fruits, phytoncides enter the air, which are found in large quantities in their skin. They kill germs in the distance. During epidemics, it is useful to peel oranges by hand (unless, of course, there is an allergy to citrus fruits!).
Apples. Did you know? In one apple, along with the seeds, almost the entire periodic table is contained, so doctors recommend eating one apple daily. Apples have vitamins C, B, potassium, pectins, malic and citric acid. Soaked apples retain the largest amount of vitamins.
Persimmon. Persimmon contains a lot of potassium, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, iron, there are proteins, carbohydrates, organic acids, tannins. Persimmon has 2 times more dietary fiber and minerals than apples. Vitamins C and P contained in persimmons reduce the fragility of blood vessels. Slightly diluted persimmon juice gargles with a cold and sore throat.
Kiwi. Contain a large amount of vitamin C, more than oranges. They include beta-carotene, potassium, other useful minerals and vitamins, as well as flavonoids. If you regularly eat kiwi, the likelihood of developing a respiratory tract infection decreases and breathing improves.
Why is it necessary to eat cabbage in winter? Cabbage is the best source of a valuable vitamin in the cold season. Vitamin C plays a key role in many important functions of the immune system: it supports lymphocytes and increases the serum concentration of immunoglobulins, special proteins important for our defense against infections.
Eat vitamins and do not get sick!
