‘Immunity’ is a valuable ‘barrier’ that protects body organs from external viruses. What kind of food do you need to strengthen your immunity during the changing seasons when your immunity is low?
First of all, ▲ turmeric, the main ingredient in curry, boasts excellent health benefits to the extent that it is nicknamed ‘miracle spice’. Indian traditional medicine ‘Ayurveda’ explains that turmeric is ‘effective in reducing pain and promoting digestion’. Curcumin, which is abundant in turmeric, helps to suppress mediators that cause inflammation. If you consume turmeric regularly, you can expect to prevent colds, flushes, arthritis, and cancer.
Citrus fruits such as ▲grapefruit, ▲lemon, ▲lime, and ▲orange also have anti-inflammatory properties. The ‘flanovoid’ component contained in large amounts in citrus fruits neutralizes free radicals in the body. It helps to inhibit inflammation and cancer cell growth. In addition, the peel has anti-inflammatory properties, so you can see the effect if you drink it after washing it and drying it. Citrus fruits are also rich in water and electrolytes.
▲ Eggs are a complete protein food with high protein content and are rich in various vitamins.
