Omega-3 unsaturated fatty acids with weakened immunity

Obligatory condition of immunity is a good regular intake of omega-3 unsaturated fatty acids. The most popular of the source has always been oily fish – not by accident, in many health care facilities for children and there is still such a wonderful tradition, a day of fishing time per week. Ideally, of course, it would be nice to spend and more, for example, 2-3 times a week, handing out meals on the table, mackerel, trout, herring, Pacific saury, salmon or sardines. Excessive use of salt or smoked fish is not desirable, encouraged treatment in the form of cooking, including a couple, stewing, baking. If there is no way to cook fish on a regular basis, think about the beneficial properties of fish oil in capsules, buy it in pharmacies and drink courses, pre-coordinate with your doctor.

There are plant sources of omega-3 fatty acids. This is, firstly, walnuts, which is enough to eat at least 5-6 pieces a week. And, secondly, from the same point of view is useful linseed oil: sometimes you can fill them for a variety of salads, diluting sunflower or olive oil.

Foods rich in zinc

A weak immune system and, consequently, low resistance to colds and viral respiratory infections sometimes indicate that in the human diet is not enough zinc. In the ranking of foods rich in zinc, oysters belong to the first place, but as for the average Russian, they continue to be exotic and unlikely to be well digested, it can only look for an alternative.

In principle, to join the useful properties of zinc may be due to the use and familiar to us meat – the same low-fat beef, chicken breasts, and even pork, despite the fact that the last nutritionists are not particularly favor. The truly courageous act in the name of health will be the rejection of white bread, pastries and replacing it with wholemeal and grain bread. Can be at least a couple times a week to drink carrot juice and buy oranges, so the body will receive additional portion of zinc.
