Human body protection – immunity - requires nutrition. To keep human body from viruses, bacteria, fungi and other pathogens, immunity should get particular set of elements found in products. Which ones? Let us see below.
Fruits and vegetables
There is a number of fruits and vegetables which are well known bacteria killers for centuries. Garlic and onion were included in everyday menu of Roman army. Horseradish, radish, onion and garlic were taken in travels by Russian sailors. There are lots of such examples in history. It's clear that in remote ages people didn't know about viruses and pathogens but they were observant enough. People who consume those products frequently, do never get diseased. Take advantage of it!
Onion, garlic, horseradish, mustard, radish, chili do release phytoncides, substances with antibiotic properties. They inhibit growth and reproduction of viruses and bacteria. They release phytoncides not only during eating but also in surrounding medium which helps people with unhealthy stomach to just smell acrid vegetables, but the effect in this case will be much weaker. Phytoncides are found in vividly colored fruits such as blueberry, black wineberry, cherry, dark grapes, raspberry. Antiviral effects do increase when those products are combined with other ones rich in beneficial microelements.
Major vitamins that do increase persistence to diseases are vitamins A and C. Vitamin C is found abundantly in citrus, cabbage, wineberry, spinach and other lettuce. Vitamin A and its provitamin called beta-carotene are found abundantly in red and orange vegetables and fruits (carrot, peach, paprika, persimmon).
Yellow berries are rich in vitamins A, C and E. They do activate immunity, prevent infection development in human body and improve skin. Red berries of rosehips contain daily amount of vitamin C, iron, magnesium and carotene. Those substances do increase hemoglobin rate in the blood and strengthen body defenses.
