To increase immunity.
Folk remedies
Not everyone knows how to increase the immunity of adults at home with the help of folk remedies. There are several effective ways, among which are:
Herbal teas. Thyme, chamomile, ginseng and rosehip are the most effective. The combination of these herbs has a beneficial effect on health, improving well-being and preventing the development of diseases.
Replace sugar with honey. Honey is a natural immune stimulating product that can be added to tea or consumed pure.
Eat walnuts as a snack. They are rich in useful micronutrients that are beneficial to the immune system.
Nuts are a good choice of foods for immunity. They are rich in B vitamins, omega-3-polyunsaturated fatty acids, selenium, and immune-active amino acids.
It is enough to eat 5-10 nuts per day (depending on the size), but such large nuts as macadamia nuts are enough even for two. To retain all the useful properties, nuts should not be roasted.
Garlic. It contains a natural antibiotic — allicin, which provides elimination of pathogens. It is actively used for the prevention of colds in both adults and children.
Ginger root. It can be used to prepare healing decoctions or inhalations.
Drinks
To strengthen the immune system is useful the presence in the diet of the following drinks: green tea; decoction of rosehips; freshly squeezed juices.
Green tea contains large amounts of polyphenols — catechins, which are powerful antioxidants.
Rosehips are a source of ascorbic acid. Juices from the above berries, fruits and vegetables have all the immune-boosting properties of the products from which they were derived.
Honey
Natural honey (which collection — does not matter) is an excellent product that strengthens the immune system due to a high concentration of B vitamins, carotene, ascorbic acid, polyphenols (flavonoids).
Honey greatly increases resistance to infections when consumed with no more than one tablespoon per day.
This product loses its useful properties when heated above 40C, so for therapeutic and preventive purposes should use honey not subjected to thermal effects, for example, do not put it in your tea, and eat in a snack.
Honey can be used to make a healing (and tasty) mixture to strengthen the immune system and normalize metabolism, for this purpose, you need to mix honey with nuts, ginger and lemon.
