However, there is useful information on the nutrients and nutritional factors involved, directly or indirectly, in the correct functioning of natural defenses.
Below we will list the nutrients and nutritional factors, as well as the foods that contain them, that we could include in the project to create or suggest immune support recipes to make at home.
(nutritional factors) are bacterial microorganisms related to colonies of the intestinal microbiota.The symbiosis between physiological flora and the human organism provides that they can survive and multiply inside the lumen, metabolizing various residual elements in the faeces (especially fibers and carbohydrates, so-called prebiotics), producing molecules useful for us such as vitamins and specific nutrients for the enterocytes (cells of the colonic mucosa) - short-chain fatty acid type (acetic, propionic, butyric).
Not everyone knows that intestinal health is strongly correlated with the integrity of the immune system; therefore, first of all, the diet must ensure the good balance of the terminal digestive tract.
Probiotics are taken (on an empty stomach) with special products, supplements or drugs, since if introduced with foods (yogurt, buttermilk, kefir, sauerkraut, gherkins, fermented soy, etc.) they can be decimated by digestive gastric juices - stimulated by the protein component in foods.
