Are you worried about fighting viruses? You should know that it is possible to boost your immunity naturally by taking a few dietary precautions. Fruits play an important role in boosting the body's defences, so here are a few tips.
When we talk about fighting colds and viruses in general, vitamin C is one of the first things that comes to mind, but today we are going to focus on antioxidants. Why antioxidants? Because they play an important role in reducing cell death, as well as promoting the development of white blood cells, which are essential for destroying harmful bacteria.
After all, who wouldn't want their body to have more repair capacity?
Antioxidant fruits that are great for your health: cherry and kiwi.
Cherries are rich in flavonoids, which have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and can prevent disease. In other words, cherries have great power to eliminate the by-products of oxidation and prevent ageing, help reduce inflammation in the body and contribute to the control of chronic diseases.
Kiwifruit provides several nutrients with powerful antioxidant properties. They are a source of vitamins A, C and E, three vitamins with important reactive oxygen species scavenging properties, and are also known for their ability to boost defences against pathogenic micro-organisms.
As well as being delicious, these two fruits are good for your health!
