What to eat to boost immunity and resistance
Disease description:
Hello doctor, I'd like to know what I should eat to boost my immune system and resistance. I recently had surgery, and my doctor mentioned that my immunity is low after the operation, suggesting that I eat some nutritious foods to help with recovery.
1. To enhance resistance, a fundamental prerequisite is maintaining a healthy eating habit—eating enough at each meal and consuming adequate nutrients, ensuring daily caloric intake balances expenditure and avoiding excessive intake.
2. To boost immunity, consume vegetables rich in vitamins A, D, E, and particularly high in vitamin C. Certain vegetables help strengthen the immune system, such as carrots, onions, and broccoli. It's also important to eat plenty of fresh fruits like oranges, apples, and bananas, which can also enhance immunity.
3. To strengthen immunity, do not overlook foods high in protein, such as meat, fish, eggs, and legumes. Additionally, you may incorporate other health-promoting foods according to personal preference, such as black sesame seeds and sesame oil, to ensure sufficient nutrient intake.
4. To enhance immunity, include iron- and calcium-rich foods in your diet, such as milk, soy milk, peanuts, and black sesame seeds. Also increase consumption of foods rich in linoleic acid, such as fish, peanuts, and walnuts, to improve resistance.
