Head of the Department of Internal Medicine #4 of the Polyclinic #2 Elena Voevodina has told about how to strengthen the organism and boost immune system.
According to Elena Voevodina, the main signals that the immune system requires help are: weakness, tiredness, muscle ache, sleepiness, apathy, concentration problems, skin flaking and dry skin.
Strengthening the body and increasing immunity in spring is best achieved by a balanced diet that makes up for the deficiencies of all necessary microelements and vitamins.
Flavonoids, which are found in beans, tomatoes and walnuts, have an antioxidant effect.
Minerals are another component of a healthy immune system, it can be found in green vegetables and fruits: lettuce, cabbage, broccoli, asparagus.
Natural remedies to enhance the protective function are considered: magnolia vine, licorice, ginseng and coneflower.
Elena Voevodina points out that sedentary and monotonous lifestyle should be replaced by fresh air walks, running and physical exercises. The main enemy of a strong immune system is stress, thus, be less nervous and worry about trifles. Smile more often, enjoy the spring sunshine, because a person looking at the world with a smile on his face is not afraid of any diseases.
