Boosting Your Immunity Through Your Diet

— Positive Parenting

Our immune system is a truly complex network that includes our skin, gut, spleen, liver and lymph nodes. Based on clinical observations thus far, the majority of Covid-19 patients who became severely ill or developed critical symptoms were people with a weaker immune system, e.g. elderly patients or those with underlying conditions such as diabetes, obesity and hypertension.Good nutrition, good immunityThus far, there is no scientific evidence that by itself, any particular food, supplement or herbal preparation can improve the immune system.

There is a huge population of 100 trillion microorganisms in the gut, which is 10 times more than the total number of human body cells.In order for our immune system to gain the most benefit from the gut microbiota, a healthy balance of good and bad bacteria is necessary. At the same time, the dietary fibres from fruits and vegetables, legumes, and whole grains, also help you regulate bowel movement to help keep your gut healthy.

It should also be emphasised that intake of high-fat foods should be avoided as these are not conducive to the production of good bacteria.
