Dietician Tatyana Meshcheryakova: maintaining healthy intestinal microflora is one of the ways to become the owner of a strong immune system.
Doctor Meshcheryakova said that promotes strong immunity and helps make the body more resistant to seasonal infections. According to the doctor, adequate consumption of fat has a positive effect on immunity, and people who diligently reduce fat in their diet are making a mistake.
“A deficiency of fats necessary for the body can worsen the functioning of the respiratory, nervous and endocrine systems,” the doctor warned in an interview with Izvestia.
The specialist added that avocados, nuts, and unrefined oils are sources of healthy fats.
In addition, healthy intestinal microflora contributes to maintaining a strong immune system.
“Regular consumption of coarse fiber in food helps maintain the balance of intestinal microflora,” the expert shared.
Another important condition for strengthening the immune system is drinking enough water. Lack of fluid contributes to blood thickening, slows down metabolic processes, and therefore residual waste products and potential toxins are less easily removed from the body.
In addition, the state of the immune system is reflected in how susceptible a person is to stress. To maintain health, you need to be able to not give in to panic.
“Due to stress and increased anxiety, lymphocytes and phagocytes reduce activity and cannot remove bacteria and viruses in time at the onset of the disease,” explained the doctor.
