The immune system protects the body from external pathogens, reducing the risk of contracting virus and seasonal colds. The lowering of immune defenses is frequent in times of stress and during seasonal changes. During such periods, the body is more exposed to bacteria and infections. That's why we need to take some small steps useful to strengthen the immune system and care for our well-being. 

Fatigue and low energy? 

Mental fatigue and muscle fatigue are the early warning signs related to the health of the immune system. Poor defense capabilities of the body has a great influence on the performance of our daily activities, negatively affecting our daily life. The most frequent symptoms are: hot flashes, difficulty concentrating, flu-like symptoms, hair loss. 

Boost the immune defense in a natural way

In periods of exhaustion, let's not forget that some foods, based on their properties, ensure the proper functioning of the immune system.

  • Mackerel: rich in vitamin D, helps T-cells protect the body from infection.
  • Garlic: if crushed, releases "allicin" a substance that inhibits the enzymes that promote bacterial infections. Garlic also contains beta glucan, an element that stimulates the action of white blood cells.
  • Probiotic yogurt containing Lactobacillus: these microorganisms promote a healthy intestinal balance while protecting it from pathogens. 
  • Potatoes: rich in selenium and vitamin D, promote the protection of the immune system and act as antioxidants.
  • Fish, red meat, legumes, cereals, vegetables, dried fruit: zinc contained in them helps to strengthen the immune system, protecting the body from colds and flu. 
  • Lemons: loaded with vitamin C, have essential antioxidant for our health. 
  • 100% dark chocolate: cocoa stimulates the "T helper" cells important for the production of antibodies.
  • Chicken: provides great help against inflammation and mucus.
