HOW TO STRENGTHEN THE IMMUNE SYSTEM
Autunno, periodo di primi raffreddori ed influenze. Mai come in questo momento quindi, viene da chiedersi, tra uno starnuto e l’altro,se esiste un modo per prevenire o addirittura curare questi fastidiosi compagni di stagione.
Va subito detto che come non esiste un farmaco, così non esiste un unico alimento o dieta “anti-influenza”; certo è che alcuni accorgimenti alimentari risultano utili per rafforzare le difese immunitarie a tal punto da ridurre il rischio d’insorgenza, frequenza e gravità della malattia.
Innanzi tutto va detto che un sano sistema immunitario corrisponde sempre ad una sana alimentazione. Pathological conditions involving malnutrition reflecting an alteration in the beautiful balance that exists between the different components of our defense system. Essentially the protein malnutrition (low protein intake in the diet) results in a decreased number and function of white blood cells (leukocytes). The weakening of the body means greater vulnerability to any external pathogens (viruses or bacteria) and therefore increased susceptibility to colds.
begin, then, by saying that the power must be changed first, and rich enough in its protein content (about 18-20% of total calories should come from protein foods). Lean meat, fish, eggs, milk, dairy products, legumes are true nourishment for the sentries our natural and organic! Other
protagonist of this article is ascorbic acid, present in citrus fruits and various vegetables (peppers, arugula, Brussels sprouts, lettuce, spinach, cabbage, radicchio, chicory, endive, escarole). The latter, however, because they retain the ascorbic acid must be consumed only fresh and raw. Ascorbic acid is water soluble, heat-labile and easily oxidized, it must take care to wash the vegetables, but quickly (not letting them "soak") and cut only after washing and then eat them immediately.
The integration of the diet with fruits and vegetables, with only 1 orange 1 kiwi fruit from 150 g to 100 g consumed in two meals, every day brings well-475mg of ascorbic acid.
Unfortunately, it is stressed that today the power of the average man is to be limited too low in fruits and raw vegetables, not suitable to prevent and treat flu and colds. I have to say about that, so often, the modern market offers to consumers not just fruits and vegetables in season, maybe a little mature collection and left to mature in temperature and modified atmosphere. In these cases the lack of spontaneity of the aging / storage comporta un diminuito contenuto, nel prodotto finito, di vitamine e quindi un diminuito apporto per l’organismo. Solo frutta e verdura di stagione quindi, fa bene alla salute e di certo anche al portafoglio.
Che dire poi degli integratori sintetici?
Alcuni medici, anziché prescrivere un ampliamento della dieta con verdure e frutta di stagione, preferiscono integrare con le compresse di vitamina C sintetica (1 dose/die). A questo proposito, però devo dire che i vecchi professori universitari concordano ripetendo che le compresse di vitamina C servono a produrre nient’altro che una “urina molto costosa”. La biodisponibilità del prodotto artificiale non è certo la stessa del prodotto naturale ed the dose is not sufficiently modulated. Vitamin C then water-soluble, when more than 1500 mg in the body is removed (because it is considered "excessive") and dispersed in the urine.
Thus, seasonal fruits, fresh vegetables, fresh centrifuge are the real source of bioavailable vitamin!
As suggested in the previous release of "Vivendi", a 'good solution would be to add fresh salads few cloves of fresh garlic (also reduced cream) or onion or leek that for the sulfur-containing species, exert a therapeutic activity antiseptic expectorant and respiratory tracts. There are also food
able to alleviate discomfort and symptoms of colds accessories. Breathing difficulties, for example, find relief through the use of chili peppers and capsaicin it contains, which increases the frequency and volume of respiration. So many possible solutions to prepare for the cold winter with no surprises and no sneezing ...
