THÙY DƯƠNG (THEO HEALTHSHOTS) |

To reduce your chances of catching the seasonal flu, add these nutrients to your daily diet.

Vitamin C

Vitamin C is one of the most important nutrients for boosting immunity. According to research published in the journal Nutrients, this essential vitamin promotes the production and function of white blood cells, which are the body's main barrier against invading pathogens.

Vitamin D

Vitamin D, known as the “sunshine vitamin,” plays a vital role in regulating immune system responses. According to research published in the Journal of Clinical Nutrition, this important nutrient helps balance the immune system, helping the body respond effectively to threats and reducing inflammation.

Zinc

In a study published in the journal Nutrients, zinc was found to enhance immunity, helping the immune system function effectively.

Vitamin A

Vitamin A is one of the most effective immune-boosting nutrients. According to a study published in the Journal of Clinical Medicine, vitamin A is essential for the skin and mucous membranes, which act as a barrier against infection entering the body.

Selen

Selenium is a mineral that plays an important role in helping the body boost immunity thanks to its powerful antioxidant properties. According to the journal Antioxidants and Redox Signaling, by neutralizing free radicals, selenium helps maintain the integrity and function of immune cells, helping to effectively fight infections.

Probiotics

Probiotics play an important role in maintaining a healthy and balanced immune system. These beneficial microorganisms reside primarily in the intestines, forming a complex ecosystem known as the gut microbiome. Probiotics support immune health by helping to regulate immune responses, strengthening the intestinal barrier (which prevents harmful substances from entering the bloodstream), and even competing with harmful bacteria to protect the body.
