How to strengthen the immune system

Como fortalecer el sistema inmunológico

At this time of year, where temperature changes abound, it is very easy to catch a cold since we constantly go from hot to cold and cold to hot. When it comes to fighting colds, it is important to consume foods that strengthen the immune system and provide essential nutrients to fight them in the best way. Today we want to leave you several of these foods to add to the dishes on those days when we want to give the immune system a little help to fight a cold or flu.

  1. Citrus fruits: Citrus fruits such as oranges, tangerines and lemons are rich in vitamin C, which helps strengthen the immune system and can reduce the duration and severity of colds.

  2. Garlic: Garlic has antimicrobial properties and boosts the immune system. This is an ingredient that you can add to your meals to take advantage of its benefits and also give them more flavor.

  3. Ginger: Ginger has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that can help relieve cold symptoms, such as nasal congestion and sore throat. You can consume it as a tea, add it to your dishes or even chew small slices of fresh ginger.

  4. Honey: Honey has antibacterial properties and can help soothe coughs and sore throats. You can add the skin to desserts or eat it directly with a spoon.

  5. Chicken broth: Hot chicken broth can help relieve congestion and provide fluids and nutrients needed to fight a cold. Plus, a cup of hot broth is good for anyone with a cold.

  6. Yogurt: Yogurt contains probiotics, which are bacteria beneficial for intestinal health. These bacteria can not only strengthen the immune system and reduce the duration and severity of colds, but they will also give you back the good bacteria that the body needs if they have been eliminated by antibiotics.

  7. Fruits and vegetables: Fruits and vegetables are always a good option to incorporate into the diet since they are very healthy foods with many properties. Some of the most recommended options are berries, kiwis, spinach, broccoli and red peppers.

To avoid colds and flu, apart from helping yourself through healthy diets, you can incorporate a food supplement. At Natusure we recommend NATUINMUNO GUMMIES . They are multivitamin gummies with raspberry flavor that will help you strengthen your immune system and fight any virus or bacteria whenever necessary.
