As the weather gets colder and we spend more time indoors, the incidence of flu has increased.
Publika.az reports that wearing warm clothes does not help to eliminate this problem at all. For this, first of all, you should pay attention to what you eat and drink.
Fever over 38 degrees, severe weakness and muscle aches, dry cough, runny nose and throat are probably familiar to anyone with the flu. In order not to experience this, you should consume foods rich in vitamins.
Vitamin C – One of the best antioxidant vitamins. If vitamin C is obtained from foods rather than in vitamin form, photochemicals in these foods can also be used. Thus, foods containing vitamin C, such as tomatoes, fresh peppers, parsley, tangerines, grapefruit, oranges, pomegranates, rosehips, and kiwis, should be consumed throughout the day.
Zinc is an important mineral for the immune system. Found in seafood, meat, onions and garlic. Zinc is found in pumpkin seeds, raw nuts, fatty foods like walnuts and almonds, turkey, lamb, asparagus and mushrooms. These minerals have a high antioxidant effect and strengthen the body’s cells that fight toxins.
Omega 3 fatty acids – These are the most valuable fats. It is an important nutrient for immunity, brain and nervous system, psychology and cardiovascular health. With the beginning of the fish season, fish should be eaten 2 days a week. In addition to omega-3, fish also contains essential amino acids, which the body cannot produce, and which are necessary for cell renewal and anti-aging. Oily seeds such as hazelnuts, walnuts and almonds contain Omega 3.
In addition, in cold weather, eat a lot of oranges and drink tea with lemon and ginger. You can also add mint and cloves to the tea. (ashkam.az)
