Indonesia's recent cold weather has weakened body immunity, heightening disease vulnerability. One effective approach is consuming nutrient-rich natural foods. A Sekitar Kaltim article highlights ten super supplements to fortify the immune system.
First, turmeric contains curcumin with strong anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, enhancing infection-fighting abilities. Add it to milk, curry, or soup. Second, yogurt is rich in probiotics for gut health, aiding antibody production; mix with fruit or honey.
Garlic provides allicin with antimicrobial and antiviral properties, stimulating white blood cells. Mushrooms like shiitake and maitake offer beta-glucan, plus vitamin B and selenium; prepare as soup or stir-fry. Spinach supplies antioxidants, beta-carotene, vitamins C and E for robust immune response.
Papaya is loaded with vitamins C, A, E, and papain enzyme for anti-inflammatory effects. Ginger's gingerol reduces inflammation, ideal for rainy season. Green tea has flavonoids and EGCG; drink 2-3 cups daily, add lemon.
Almonds source vitamin E antioxidant; eat a handful as a snack. Citrus fruits like oranges, lemons, and grapefruits are essential for vitamin C supporting white blood cell production against infections.
Incorporating these into your diet can lower infection risks. During rainy season, maintain cleanliness, immunity, and environment; drink plenty of water, stay warm, and seek medical check if symptoms arise. Strong immunity acts as a shield against viruses and bacteria.
