Immunity is the protector of the body, but what supports the immune system?
Specific nutrients in food, of course. Nutritional deficiency is the main cause of low immunity. Reasonable and balanced nutrition supply is the necessary basis to enhance resistance.
Among all the nutrients, protein is the most important and the most important material basis for the body's immune defense function.
The body's forces to deal with viruses, bacteria and foreign injuries are:
Immunoglobulin;
White blood cells;
White blood cells;
Antibody;
Macrophage;
Lymphocyte;
basophil
Eosinophilic cells;
Lysozyme;
. . .
It is precisely because of their existence that they protect the body from all kinds of interference and harm and make the body work normally.
However, the main raw material for their production and composition is protein, and it is also a high-quality source of protein.
Antibodies are composed of special protein produced by the body, and others are different manifestations of protein.
Cold, fever, inflammation and fatigue are all manifestations of decreased immunity, and further, they are also manifestations of lack of high-quality protein support.

In addition to protein, the lack of vitamins and trace elements will also weaken the immune mechanism and reduce disease resistance. Let's learn about other nutrients that help the immune system:
Zinc is an active component of many enzymes, which can regulate immune function, improve immunity and ensure the integrity of immune system.
Vitamin A: Vitamin A is the protector of all mucosal tissues in the body, whether it is respiratory mucosa, digestive tract mucosa, reproduction, uterine mucosa, etc.
With it, the mucosa can be better updated and play a role. In these mucosal parts, bacteria and lesions are most likely to appear, and they are also the favorite parasitic parts of pathogens.
Vitamin A can not only enhance the immune system, enhance the resistance and anti-cancer function, but also protect the normal metabolism of all mucosal tissues in the body, eliminate the accumulation of dead cells and prevent pathological changes.
Vitamin c: if friends who often eat western food know that a piece of lemon is often put in the drink, or the food with the meal will be accompanied by a small piece of lemon; Or when eating raw food, such as sashimi, lemon will be attached. Why is this?
Some people say it can stimulate appetite. Yes, there is nothing wrong with stimulating appetite. More importantly, lemon is rich in vitamin C, which can directly kill pathogens, microorganisms, bacteria and viruses.
Vitamin C can not only directly enhance the body's immunity, stimulate the production of antibodies and white blood cells, but also directly kill pathogens, and it is also an important antioxidant for human body.
Echinacea purpurea: The natural ingredients of Echinacea purpurea can promote the human body to increase the number of T cells, enhance immunity, stimulate the growth of white blood cells and increase the bactericidal ability of white blood cells.
Can strengthen the immune system, increase resistance, and strongly resist bacterial and viral infections, especially viral infections. Antibacterial and anti-inflammatory, prevent colds, and have a good effect on the recovery of colds.
At the same time, it can help patients with immune disorders to restore normal immune function, and can also help patients with chemotherapy to restore immune function.
Allicin: In China's food culture, garlic is indispensable in cooking.
Garlic is not only as simple as a condiment, but also because allicin in garlic has the functions of directly diminishing inflammation, sterilizing and dealing with pathogens, and also has the functions of stimulating immunity and enhancing immune function.
The ancients knew this for a long time, and using it with various foods can directly eliminate sterilization.
