It would be nice if eating a particular food could magically protect you against all the boring illnesses.It's not that simple,of course.Hard washing remains your best defense against picking up illnesses,and sleep is a strong defense too.But what you eat does play an important part.Though it isn't because of just one or two foods,what you eat in your daily diet has an effect on how weak or strong your immunity(免疫力) is.
We'd better eat fruits and vegetables every day.They contain key vitamins needed in the immune system.For example,Vitamin C and A in foods help immune system work well to keep us healthy.Remember that eating the actual fruit or veggie is better than eating single-vitamin supplements (补品).
Getting too little protein(蛋白质)can weaken your immune system.Protein-rich foods supply the amino acids (氨基酸) you need to build important proteins in the body.Animal foods like beef and pork also contain zinc (锌),which your body uses to make t-cells.
Fermented foods are foods that are naturally protected by bacteria(细菌),and they're good for the micro biome(微生物).That's the name for the bacteria that live in your stomach,where a lot of cells in immunity actually live.Fermented foods like yogurt help beneficial bacteria develop fast in the stomach,leaving less room for harmful bacteria.
