Research has shown that certain foods benefit the human body more.

And these six foods help you strengthen your body and strengthen your immunity.

Yogurt

Regular intake of good bacteria found in yogurt has a beneficial effect on gut health and overall immunity. A study by the University of Vienna showed that 2 dcl of yogurt a day increases vitamin D reserves, which also lowers the risk of inflammation.

Chicken soup

It not only cures a sore throat, but also ensures hydration of the body and is rich in nutrients that activate immunity. The most important effect of chicken soup is the expulsion of secretions from the bronchi.

Mushrooms

Mushrooms are rich in selenium, B vitamins and antioxidants, and studies show that they stimulate the production of white blood cells responsible for fighting bacteria and viruses. You can eat them in salads, with pasta, eggs, on pizza or with meat - all that matters is that you eat them.

Broccoli

This super vegetable is rich in vitamins A and C and antioxidants. It is best to eat it just briefly processed in hot water, and it can also be eaten raw as an addition to salads.

Sardines

Sardines are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which have been proven to reduce the risk of various inflammations in the body by strengthening immunity. In addition to sardines, tuna and salmon are excellent choices, and during the flu season, fish intake should be increased.

Tea

It is best to opt for green or black tea, which are rich in polyphenols and flavonoids and destroy free radicals. Catechins from tea have even been proven to kill viruses and have an interferon-like effect. During the flu season, increase your intake to two cups of tea a day, reports Radio Sarajevo.
