Dos and don'ts - Nutrition during an epidemicThe second part :Micronutrients - vitamins and minerals

In previous post We mentioned that a healthy body needs variety and consumption of different types of food. We are going to remind you what messages the colorful world of food has for our immune system.

Vitamin D is fat soluble and plays an important role in strengthening the immune system by reducing inflammation. All kinds of fish, fish oil, eggs, milk and mushrooms naturally contain this vitamin.

You should be careful that excessive consumption and accumulation of some vitamins, especially fat-soluble vitamins, may cause disturbances in the body's internal systems.

Minerals also play an important role in the health of the immune system . Selenium is one of the most important of them . Selenium can be obtained from garlic, broccoli, sardines and tuna, nuts and barley .

Like selenium, zinc is beneficial for the immune system . Zinc slows down and controls inflammation in the body. There are lean chicken and red meats, baked beans, yogurt, peas, oysters, and crab..

The vitamins and minerals that we have mentioned play the main roles in the health of the immune system.

We emphasize that if you choose a proper nutritional method that contains all food groups, the body will be able to provide its daily needs of vitamins and minerals..

• Consult your doctor before taking any supplements.
