What to Eat to Boost Resistance and Immunity
Disease description:
When a child is in poor health, it means they need to improve their resistance. I would like to ask the doctor: what should be eaten to enhance resistance and immunity?
To enhance resistance and immunity, you can start with your diet. Specific recommendations are as follows:
1. **Intake of high-quality protein**: Eat more foods rich in high-quality protein, such as lean pork, lean beef, chicken, shrimp, eggs, milk, and soybeans. These proteins can enhance cellular activity in the human body, thereby improving disease resistance to a certain extent.
2. **Supplement with vitamins**: Consume more fresh vegetables and fruits, such as celery, spinach, bananas, oranges, and lemons. Eating vitamin-rich foods helps maintain normal vitamin levels in the body, improves metabolic capacity, and contributes to enhanced physical condition.
3. **Supplement with trace elements**: Include foods rich in trace elements, such as kelp, black fungus, dragon fruit, and eggs. Trace elements participate in various metabolic processes of enzymes, hormones, and nucleic acids in the body and play an important supportive role in maintaining health.
4. **Eat fungal foods**: Fungal foods such as mushrooms, enoki mushrooms, and black fungus can regulate immune function and enhance immunity.
5. **Traditional Chinese medicine or herbs**: Under the guidance of traditional Chinese medicine theory, you may moderately consume herbal medicines such as American ginseng, Dendrobium (iron-coated stone斛), and astragalus. These herbs contain various beneficial components that can boost the body's immunity.
