7 dietary tips to boost the immune system

Stimulate your immune system with various dietary tips.

  1. The undeniable benefits of vegetarian diets on immunity: eat plenty of fruits and vegetables rich in beta-carotene, riboflavin, pantothenic acid, folic acid, zinc, iron, magnesium, copper, iodine, selenium, bioflavonoids, lecithin, and vitamins A, B6, C, D, and E.
  2. Garlic (antiviral, antibacterial and anticancer) is also a food of choice to fight against infections.
  3. An antiviral principle in shiitake mushrooms, "lentinan" (one of its components), would give it "immunostimulant" properties.
  4. Zinc-rich foods, including fatty fish and seafood, are also very protective.
  5. The consumption of infusion of echinacea angustifolia root is also beneficial in this type of pathology.
  6. Fats and sugars weaken the immune system: avoid eating too much meat, especially high-fat meats, and don't overdo the sugar - studies suggest that sugar weakens the immune system.
  7. Reduce your intake of omega-6 fatty acids (found in corn, safflower and sunflower oils, among others) as much as possible.
