Diet to improve immunity
The most important element is the proper hydration of the body, which, depending on the patient’s body weight, is on average 1.5-3 liters per day (30 ml of water per 1 kg of body weight). The diet should be composed so that no undigested food remains in the intestines, as this may disrupt the functioning of the immune system. A large number of pathological microorganisms multiply on undigested food residues, which intensifies decay and fermentation processes.
Important tips:
– number of meals during the day from 3 to 5 depending on the need; – first breakfast (until 10:00) – it should be warm and easy to digest, e.g. oatmeal, rye bread with a warm egg, millet with goji fruit; – a second breakfast is necessary (until 1 p.m.) – we can eat: vegetable salads, warm soups, nutritious wholemeal bread sandwich; – lunch (after 3 p.m.)
- one- or two-course,
- a soup can be a dinner appetizer,
- 1x a week hot vegetables with a small amount of carbohydrates (groats, rice, potatoes)
- meat (including fish) up to 3 times a week with similar additives
- 3x a week vegetarian meal (groats, rice, wholemeal pasta with vegetables)
– an easily digestible dinner without protein (until 20:00) – soups, warm vegetables, porridge or rice with warm vegetables. Food rotation is very important. Meals changed every 2 days. It is also important to prepare dishes for a maximum of 2 days to maintain their freshness and properties. Additionally, the supplementation of omega acids, vitamin C, vitamin D and magnesium is important.
