"My throat hurts, my shoulders are sore, and I feel like mud when I lie in bed..." I believe many friends have experienced this state at home. As the epidemic gradually moves closer to "flu", friends who are -positive and -positive are also catching up in large numbers. They complain every day and are weak and miserable.
However, life has to go on after all, because there is no specific drug treatment for Omicron . People often can only rely on the immune system to "hold on". If you want to further help the body's immune system, you might as well start from the daily life level. Diet is a very important part.
What nutrients does the immune system need in the "fight" process?
The immune system is our last line of defense against the novel coronavirus. When the virus enters the body, the immune system will eliminate the virus while also producing antibodies, thereby continuing to maintain the body's resistance to the new coronavirus .
In this process, the operation of the immune system is not without cost, and there will naturally be "rewards" if you have a job. The rewards of the immune system, of course, need to be reflected and supplied in our daily diet.
First of all, the most important thing is naturally protein :
protein is an important component of immune cells . It can be said that without protein, the immune system is just a "paper tiger". Sufficient protein can actively mobilize the activity of immune cells, making them more efficient at clearing viruses and more sensitive to abnormal invasion.
Therefore, if you want to recover quickly after becoming impotent, protein supplementation is essential, and this should also be used as an important reference for daily food selection.
common vitamins
are vitamin A, vitamin C and vitamin D. Vitamin A can improve the efficiency of the body's immune system by regulating cells and body fluids; vitamin C can promote and catalyze the production of antibodies; vitamin D can help during the production and differentiation of immune cells. It can be seen that protein is not the only appeal of the immune system, vitamins also play an important role in the operation of the immune system.
In addition, there are trace metal elements such as zinc, magnesium, potassium, etc., which are also part of the operation of the immune system. If you want to further promote the work of the immune system and accelerate your own positive recovery, dietary choices are crucial.
How can you eat to recover quickly after being infected with Yang? Keep in mind the "3 Do's and Don'ts"
The first is the "3 Do's":
① Eggs
Many people think that eggs are a kind of fat and are not suitable for people who are sick. But in fact, eggs are rich in protein, zinc, calcium, phosphorus and other nutrients, which are all helpful in restoring the immune system. After being positive, by maintaining the intake of eggs to maintain the supply of protein, the immune system will operate more efficiently, and the condition may naturally recover faster.
② Oranges
Oranges have the effect of clearing away heat and moisturizing the throat from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine. Symptoms after being positive are also mainly concentrated in the throat, with swelling and pain in the throat and itching. Eating some oranges appropriately and drinking some oranges soaked in water can effectively relieve related symptoms.
Not only that, oranges are also very rich in vitamin C. Maintaining adequate intake can accelerate the production of antibodies by the immune system, which is also one of the effective ways to promote recovery. However, it should be noted that eating too many oranges can cause dry mouth and internal heat, and the amount of consumption should also be carefully controlled.
③ Seafood and fish
For example, shrimp, crab, fish and other seafood products contain more protein than other meats, and is rich in trace elements , which is a good helper to maintain the active operation of the immune system. During the positive period, it is also a good choice to eat some fish to consolidate nutrition and improve the efficiency of the immune system.And the content of vitamin D in seafood is also good, which can also help speed up recovery.
By the way, food sources of vitamin D are not as nutritious as the previous ones, but they can be obtained more efficiently through ultraviolet rays from the sun. In the process of adjusting your diet to speed up recovery, it is also a good choice to find more opportunities to bask in the sun.
But having said that, since there are foods suitable for eating during the "positive" period, there are also foods that are not recommended. Only by choosing wisely can your body get better faster. During the
positive period, the "two taboos" in diet must not be forgotten:
are irritating foods and greasy foods respectively.
Exciting foods include garlic, pepper, ginger and so on. During the positive process, fever is unavoidable, and irritating foods can easily cause the body to get angry more seriously, and may also aggravate the fever to a certain extent. For the sake of safety and health, it is not recommended to consume these foods during the positive period.
And greasy food includes fried food, hot pot, fatty meat and so on. When you are sick, the digestive capacity of your gastrointestinal tract is also weakened. If you eat a large amount of greasy food, it will further increase the burden on your gastrointestinal tract and accumulate fat, making obesity and other conditions more likely to occur, affecting the long-term development of health.
In short, food is the most important thing for people. During the period of illness, the importance of diet cannot be ignored. Keep in mind the "3 Do's and 20 Don'ts". By taking in nutrients properly and arranging your diet, I believe everyone will eventually gain health.
