Our immunity is not only a result of good genetics, but a lot depends on stress, nutrition, exercise, and medication. The immune system is like the defense force of the body, which protects it from external toxins, chemicals, bacteria, and viruses as well as fights back and protects us from any trouble that brews within. Even the most health conscious people fall ill. However, by fine tuning certain aspects of our lifestyle, we can strengthen the immunity and protect ourselves from premature aging and degenerative diseases.
Diet & Immunity-:
Like most of our organs, the basic composition of immune bodies is protein. Protein can be supplied through dairy products, lean meat, fish, and pulses. Amongst dairy products, curd and yogurt have particularly been in the limelight for its ability to enhance immune function. The gut-friendly bacteria present in curds enhances 'the intestinal cells’ ability to release immunoglobulins and protect against various infections. Although our forefathers lacked the scientific knowledge, they were definitely right about having at least one source of fermented milk in each meal. Plant foods are naturally gifted with a host of immune modulating compounds.
FRUIT IT UP -:
For the immune system to work properly,
it requires a whole range of antioxidant nutrients such as vitamin C, E,
carotenoids, zinc, iron, copper, and selenium working in concert with
each other.
Although no single food contains all
these nutrients, some foods are concentrated sources of these nutrients.
Vitamin C, the ultimate immune booster is found in many foods other
than citrus foods like chilies, guava, tomato, and melons. It increases
the production of infection fighting white blood cells and cell surface
coating interferon which prevents entry of virus.
HOW MUCH SHOULD WE EAT -:
You need a minimum dose of 100IU to get some protection against heart
attacks. But a dosage of 400 IU is preferred to block LDL cholesterol
oxidation. If you are hypertensive or if you are on anticoagulated drugs
or if you have any type of bleeding problem, then you must check with
your docter before taking vitamin 'E' Supplements.
NATURAL SOURCES-:
Since Vitamin E is fat soluble and primarily comes from plants it is
concentrated in Vegetable oils, groundnuts, almonds, soybean, wheat
germ, cashewnuts, coconut etc. It is advisable to take it in the form of
a pill rather than bank on natural sources because one would have to
eat two cups of peanuts daily to get the RDA (Required daily allowance)
for Vitamin E. The calorie value of the diet would then become
unreasonably high.
Eat curds regularly-:
The bacteria in curd boost immune functioning. Eating curds daily
increases infection fighting capacity and also provides your body with
valuable calcium.
Tips to preserve immunity -:
1.Increase your intake of fruits and vegetables. They contain Vitamin C necessary to boost immunity and a host of other known and unknown antioxidants which work together to prevent aging and preserve immunity.
2.Take a vitamin pills daily.
3. By feeding your cells with antioxidants you can easily slow down aging and preserve your immunity.
4.Take antioxidants like Vitamin A, selenium, chromium, zinc, Vitamin C
and E daily either in the natural form or in a pill form.
