The human immune system is to defend against infection may be only two ways: proper nutrition and physical activity. And these methods are not are neither vitamins nor advertised bioadditives (Badam).
But there is one important clarification: vitamins and minerals may be useful for certain groups of patients. In this case, they must appoint a physician and only when indicated.
How the human immune system?
The work of our immune system experts compare with the activities of hunters for ghosts. It covers all the slime, to "clean up" nagryanuvshaya infection - which is why a person is present and flowing snot wet cough. It increases the body temperature to burn off "the stranger" - so the patient is in a fever. The system also closes the "doors and windows", while not solve the problem - that is why people feel sleepy, depressed, it is difficult to go somewhere, so it will pick up not a new disease.
However, the innate immune system can not remove the "occupier". It is only capable of adaptive immunity. But it needs 5-10 days to pick up antibodies, and then clone them in the required amount for the attack. Therefore, the immune system is holding back the spread of infection, before destroying it.
The best way to speed up the process - vaccination. Indeed, the vaccine contains an "unarmed" version of the attacker microbe from which we must defend. Thanks to her, the adaptive immune system is able to "remember" the enemy, and, meeting him again the second time, act faster.
Supplements - no vaccine. They can not help the immune system. And if the supplements stimulate innate immunity, people would always sniffing, coughing and suffering from fever.
As for vitamins, especially A, C and D, as well as some minerals, such as zinc, they do play an important role in the immune system. But enough of them people get from food - vegetables, fruits, meat and so on.
So what helps our immunity? Only a healthy diet plus regular (but moderate) exercise. Only these two things really have a positive effect on the activity of immune system cells. Important as personal hygiene.
There is compelling scientific evidence that if you wash your hands regularly, be careful when you cough or sneeze, do not use strangers hygiene items and personal belongings, as well as keep a clean surface in the house, there is a huge opportunity to significantly reduce the risks infection.
