In our every- day lives, we encounter things that have the ability to weaken our immune system, it might be as a result of poor hygiene or out of ignorance. This is why we should eat healthy to complement our body’s defence mechanism against germs. Here are 6 foods that will help boost the immune system and protect your body against harmful microorganisms.
Yogurt –
live active cultures that are found in yogurt, are healthy bacteria that keep the gut and intestinal tract free of disease-causing germs, they also contain some beneficial bugs. Studies showed that 7-ounce dose of yogurt was effective in boosting immunity, just as taking pills was, although it is available in the supplement form. Lactobacillus reuteri is another microorganism stimulates white blood cells.
Oats and Barley –
a study showed that these grains contain beta-glucan, a type of fibre with antimicrobial and antioxidant capabilities more potent than Echinacea. When animals eat this compound, they’re less likely to contract influenza, herpes, and even anthrax, but in humans it boosts immunity, speeds wound healing and help antibiotics work better.
Garlic –
this contains the active ingredient allicin, which fights infection and bacteria. People who take garlic or garlic extracts are less likely to catch a cold, and those who love garlic that take more than six cloves a week have a reduced chance of getting colorectal and stomach cancer.
Shellfish –
selenium, is found abundantly in shellfish such as oysters, lobsters, craps and clams. They help white blood cells produce cytokines- protein that help clear flu viruses out of the body. Whereas salmon, mackerel, and herring are rich in omega-3 fats, which aid in reducing inflammation, increasing airflow and protecting the lungs.
Beef –
beef helps to prevent zinc deficiency which is common to people who are vegetarians who cut down on beef, beef is a prime source of zinc which is an immunity-bolstering mineral. Zinc deficiency can increase your risk of infection. It is very important for the development of white blood cells, which help prevent invading bacteria, virus and others into the body.
We should be very conscious about our personal hygiene and our nutritional health because we are what we eat, if we eat healthy we look healthy and vice versa. So always take out the time to try new foods, you might just like what you taste.
