What food should cold eat

summary

The weather is getting colder gradually. Many children are easily suffering from wind heat cold at this time because of their own weakness. However, we know that children are generally reluctant to take medicine, so we can usually use diet therapy for treatment. Now I'd like to share with you what kind of food is suitable for cold.

What food should cold eat

First: using potato food instead of refined white rice flour as staple food can provide a large amount of vitamin C, vitamin B1, potassium, dietary fiber, etc. at the same time of satiety. Yam, taro and sweet potato also contain mucin with immune promoting activity, which is very helpful for improving resistance. In addition to potatoes, eating more dark red or black coarse grains and beans is also helpful to improve immunity.

Second: the rich carotene contained in orange vegetables can be converted into vitamin A in the human body. When vitamin A is insufficient, the resistance of respiratory tract mucosa will decline, and it is easy to suffer from infectious diseases and be invaded by virus. Folic acid, especially abundant in green vegetables, is a factor needed for the synthesis of immune substances, and a large number of flavonoids can work together with vitamin C, which is very helpful to maintain resistance.

Third: fruits rich in vitamin C and anthocyanins, such as blueberries, mulberries, strawberries, etc., because anthocyanins are very effective in stimulating the vitality of the immune system. Kiwi and oranges, rich in vitamin C and flavonoids, are also good.

matters needing attention

I would also like to emphasize that when Columbia University researchers examined the hands of volunteers in the study for bacteria, they found that washing hands only once, that is, using antibacterial soap, the effect of sterilization was also very unsatisfactory. So if you really want to stay away from colds, it's best to wash your hands twice.
