After being bitten by mosquitoes or other insects, choosing appropriate foods can help alleviate discomfort and promote recovery. Foods rich in vitamin C, such as citrus fruits, strawberries, and leafy green vegetables, can strengthen the immune system and reduce the body's reaction to insect toxins. Foods high in antioxidants, such as blueberries, nuts, and green tea, help combat free radicals in the body and reduce inflammation and swelling. In addition, foods containing abundant omega-3 fatty acids, such as fish and flaxseeds, can help reduce allergic reactions and promote skin health. Maintaining adequate hydration is also crucial, as it aids in detoxification and maintaining bodily balance. A balanced intake of foods rich in vitamins, antioxidants, and healthy fats is highly beneficial for relieving discomfort following insect bites.
