Christina Palacios, an expert from the Department of Nutrition at the University of Florida, gave a list of substances that can make the human immune system work in an enhanced mode. Christina Palacios claims that vitamin C is considered the main and most important vitamin. It is only thanks to it that protection against various infections and diseases is possible. This vitamin is found in large quantities in fruits and vegetables. It also turned out that the high probability of infection is associated with the absence of another useful substance in the body - this time vitamin D. Recall that this vitamin is produced by the body on its own when a person is exposed to direct sunlight. For this reason, doctors recommend in winter to make up for the lack of vitamin D, getting it from foods and vitamin complexes. Palacios said that zinc is also an important immunostimulating element. It ensures the normal functioning of cells.
