In the spring I want to quickly remove the winter wardrobe from the eyes. But high humidity, piercing wind, snow and not going to retreat. Russian proverb "Come martot - put on three portcases", as it is impossible, by the way. Not without reason early spring - peak of catarrhal diseases.

Moreover, the body is weakened after a long winter and it lacks vitamins. What should we feed?.

And we actively "lean on" raspberry jam, cranberries, citrus, garlic, onions - folk remedies tested for centuries to enhance immunity. But the choice of "immune" products is much wider than we think.

Maria Ovsyannikova, to. , a nutritionist:.

- Starting to strengthen immunity, first of all, it is necessary to understand that one can independently influence only the increase of nonspecific resistance of the organism to diseases. All the rest should be under the supervision of a doctor, after a survey.

Our immunity has evolved over many centuries. And to increase it, the use of habitual herbs, fruits, vegetables and other gifts of nature often proves to be more effective and less toxic than the independent use of advertised, but completely alien to us drugs synthesized chemically.

That's why in the search for the most suitable "trainer" for immunity, experts advise going to the store or to their kitchen if the necessary products are stored in it.

Do not pass by seedlings of cereals.

Today they are available to almost everyone - you can buy ready, and you can grow on your own. After all, at the moment of the "awakening" of the grain, it is saturated with antioxidants - vitamins E, C, and also strengthening the immune system with vitamins of group B.

Few people know that Reishi, Shiitake, Meitake, oyster mushrooms are also able to provide immunomodulating effects, due to special polysaccharides (for example, lentinine) in the composition.
