In such an uncertain period, being healthy and fit is a duty to ourselves. The rush to vitamin C from oranges and other fresh fruits is not enough to strengthen the immune system. As reported in this study, selenium is another nutrient that could improve them considerably, and a little-known food is an abundant source. That’s why few know that this unknown is among the best foods for the immune system.
Strengthening your immune defenses isn’t the only way to keep fit and healthy. Especially after the age of 50, we need to pay much more attention to what we do and eat. It is from this purpose that the article “Active and in enviable shape after the age of 50 by eating these essential foods” was born. It is true, however, that physical health is not the only one that becomes fragile as we age. Being fresh and mentally active becomes more and more difficult and it is good to prevent rapid degradation. In this, nutrition once again plays a fundamental role, as seen in “The nutrient that extends life is a reality according to recent studies”.
Few people know that this unknown is among the best foods for the immune system
To be healthy and improve the immune system, it is important that constant training is added to a correct diet. We illustrated it in “The 3 mistakes to avoid in order not to suddenly age after 50”. Having recently come out of a period of lockdown, study and work, it is good to take advantage of the beautiful days to devote time to exercises and movement.
For strengthening the immune system, one of the best foods of all is the Brazilian nut. It is certainly not among the most sought after, but thanks to the high selenium content it is a panacea for our body. Two Brazil nuts are enough at each meal to get this nutrient in the right quantities, as reported in the American Journal of Nutrition. The positives of this food do not end there. A Cambridge University study states, in fact, that selenium would be able to reduce the risk of developing chronic diseases.
