A diet for immunity must necessarily include fermented foods. They have been shown in clinical studies to markedly increase gut microbial diversity, reduce inflammation, and boost immunity. As a bonus - antimicrobial, antioxidant and soothing effects, strengthening blood vessels and the nervous system, and even increasing energy levels! The list of the most useful fermented foods includes kefir, cabbage, yogurt, sourdough bread, cottage cheese, cheeses, kimchi.

But even in the case of healthy food, you should not go too far! Fermented foods should be added to your diet gradually, in small portions. Some of them contain a lot of salt, can cause increased gas formation or swelling, so their choice should also be approached consciously, taking into account the individual reactions of your body.

Diet for immunity exists. Moreover, what you ate for breakfast today has already affected your immunity - as will absolutely everything that you eat. That is why it is completely wrong to consider diets one-sidedly - for example, when you go on a carbohydrate-free diet for weight loss (and dozens of popular diets are based on carbohydrate restriction), you deal a blow to your immunity with your own hands.

At the heart of the connection between immunity and nutrition lies ... our intestines. Its mucosa is involved in the production of immunoglobulins that fight pathogens that enter our body - and they fight so well that up to 70% of immunity depends on the intestine! This means that the health of the microbiota that inhabits the gut should be a priority for any person who takes care of their body - and everything that you eat will affect it in turn.
