6 Magical Nutrients in the Relationship Between Immunity and Nutrition!

In the context of the relationship between immunity and nutrition, especially eNutrition is of great importance in preventing infectious diseases, alleviating the course of the disease and accelerating recovery afterwards. First of all, it is necessary to increase protein intake to an appropriate amount to meet the increased energy needs during illness and to support immune system cells.

Let's examine the important variables and magical foods in the relationship between immunity and nutrition... 

Other star nutrients in these processes are those that stand out with their antioxidant properties. VITAMINS C, A, E, ZINC, SELENIUM. Antioxidants provide protection against diseases. Taking vitamins and minerals through dietary means also allows you to benefit from other nutrients that the food contains.

1. VITAMIN C High-quality nutritional sources include pomegranate, grapefruit, tangerine, orange, kiwi, pepper, parsley, lemon, and arugula.
2. ZINC The main sources are seafood, onion, garlic, meat and whole grains.
3. SELENIUM Sources include turkey, mushrooms, hazelnuts, walnuts, almonds, sesame seeds, eggs, and tuna. 
4. VITAMIN A It is found abundantly in carrots, liver, tomatoes, sweet potatoes, mangoes, spinach, apricots and peaches.
5. VITAMIN E It is found abundantly in almonds, hazelnuts, peanuts and sunflower seeds.
6. Standing out with its immune-supporting aspect OMEGA-3It is found abundantly in fish, walnuts, avocados and purslane.

Prebiotic and probiotic supplements can be used to replace beneficial bacteria, especially after antibiotic use. (Please stay away from unconscious antibiotic use!)

Another antioxidant that strengthens the immune system QUERCETIN is found in foods such as citrus fruits, red fruits and onions. In addition, it will be effective to benefit from turmeric, ginger, cardamom, ginseng, rooibos, echinacea, flaxseed, clove and sage due to their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects in the processes of disease protection, illness and post-illness recovery. 

During the disease process, it is very important to compensate for the fluid lost due to diarrhea and vomiting by consuming plenty of fluids and controlled electrolytes for the healthy progress of vital activities in the body. In addition, in order to avoid gas and bloating problems, the consumption of foods such as legumes, cabbage, and broccoli can be reduced during the disease process. Foods that take a long time to digest and have high fat content (fried foods, etc.) can be avoided during these processes. (If there is any medical condition that makes the intake of the mentioned foods and nutrients undesirable, people should consult their physicians and dietitians directly).

In addition to all these, quality sleep, consuming an average of 2-2.5 litres of water per day, paying attention to hygiene, staying away from tobacco use and regular physical activity are of course essential as part of a healthy life. It should not be forgotten that, as defined by the World Health Organization, being healthy means being healthy both physically, psychologically and socially. In other words, a holistic perspective and balance are everything. 

Additional Steps to Take Along with Magical Foods to Strengthen the Immune System

1. SLEEP: The sleep hormone melatonin has antioxidant properties and balances cortisol. We recommend that you sleep for 8 hours. By doing this between 23:00-07:00, you will benefit from melatonin when it is at its highest due to its biological rhythm. 
2. STRESS: Cortisol, the hormonal counterpart of psychological stress, negatively affects immune cells and aggravates the course of the disease.
3. NUTRITION: Those who already have chronic diseases (DM, Obesity etc.) experience infectious diseases more severely. Stay away from processed foods, alcohol, refined sugar consumption that will further increase inflammation, which is the underlying problem of all of these, and add antioxidant nutrients to your diet that will suppress inflammation. These can be foods such as ginger, turmeric, onion, garlic, red pepper, thyme etc.
4. It is also very important to nourish the body with probiotics and prebiotics.. 
5. Increase fluid intake and do not overdo it with tea and coffee 2-Finished in 3 cups. Instead of rosehip, green tea, white tea, linden tea

7. Supplements Quality dietary sources of VITAMIN C include pomegranate, grapefruit, tangerine, orange, kiwi, pepper, parsley, lemon and arugula.
8. The main sources of ZINC are seafood, onion, garlic, meat and whole grains.
