Some foods such as oranges or garlic are unable to mitigate the symptoms of colds, despite having immunomodular properties. Nina Imad, nourished by the University of Swin (Australia), warned this. The specialist's words quoted Medical XPress.
According to the specialist, there is no "magic" food that can quickly strengthen the immune system. The doctor noted that the formation of a healthy immune system lasts more than a day. It takes regular sleep, physical activity, the ability to face stress and dietary variety of stress.
"Orange and other sources of vitamin C, including Kiwi, berries, broccoli and greens, but the intake of ascorbic acid does not give a expressive effect. Only regular use can be slightly reduced the duration of the disease, "the nutrition said.
The doctor added that some studies show the immunomodular effects of garlic. However, there are no convincing evidence of the effectiveness of food additives on the effectiveness of the cold.
"Zinc can be very helpful. At the beginning of the illness, taking zinc supplements can reduce its duration. Zinc's good natural springs are meat, crayfish, beans, nuts, seeds and dairy products, "the doctor explained.
Dr. Imad added that it is important to avoid the deficiency of vitamin D in the body to protect themselves from colds. This vitamin is important for normal activities of the immune system. It is contained in fatty fish, eggs, fungi, liver and specially enriched milk.
