Some advice on the care of the immune system that should not be forgotten

To have a strong immune system means to cope better with any external dangers that threaten our bodies, and one of the most important things in this period of David-19 is maximum care for our immune system.

For a healthier and immune body, we have to pursue a healthy way of life, although restrictions imposed on anti-contour regulations and the need to maintain social distance can make this task a little more complicated.

In any case it is possible, with some care, to take care of your immune system and keep it in full efficiency by giving it extra attention. Available weapons are proper food, the fight against stress, and the right rest.

Some very necessary and indispensable advice to guide us through the mechanisms with which our body protects us from disease comes from Dr. Immanuele De Nobil, an expert in Anti-Poldic Medicine, specialised in Dietics and Foods and Health Director of the Villa Eden Health Center of Merano.

First, to function in the best way, our immune system must be well balanced; its excessive functioning exposes us to autoimmune diseases, in which, in practice, the body attacks itself and allergies; if our defenses are not quite active, however, we can find ourselves exposed to the aggression of external pathogens, starting with viruses and bacteria, and the risks associated with failure to destroy abnormal cells and damaged tissue from which tumors can develop.

Immune function depends on certain organs, including bone marrow, tous, tores, almonds, and lymphatic tissues, particularly those present in the intestine. Intestine health is closely linked to the proper functioning of the immune system and therefore deserves special attention.

Second, taking vitamins plays a fundamental role in a healthy and shape body. For our system to function in the best possible way, in some cases it is helpful to increase the amounts received through proper supplements, established by a doctor or dietologist.

Vitamin A, Found in spinach, carrots, red peppers, in particular, is useful for the integrity of the mucoes, which make up the first line of defense against pathogenic aggression.

Vitamina C, Consistent in kivi and caviar fruit, it is present in white blood cells and is used by the body as a protection in case of infections.

Vitamin DOr the sun's vitamins, besides healthy bone and teeth, have an important and popular effect on the immune system.

Vitamin E which is found in almonds, grain nuts have important antioxidating effects and increases the production of antibodies and lymphocytes.

Last but not in importance are reducing stress, daily activity and good sleep.
