Autumn is here and with it the cold and flu viruses.
It is all the more important to have a strong immune system, which is supported by healthy intestines and proper nutrition.
Countless bacteria, viruses, and fungi pass through the digestive tract every day. The intestinal flora protects the body from these invaders. However, it can be damaged by influences such as antibiotics, stress, and an improper diet. If the intestinal flora is disturbed, the immune system is also weakened, because over 80% of the immune cells are in the intestines.
Did you know that disturbed intestinal flora can lead to colds as well as to delayed food allergies?
Damage to the intestines makes it permeable to food components that get into the bloodstream and trigger an immune reaction. This can lead to gastrointestinal complaints, headaches and migraines, skin problems, attention deficits, obesity and other chronic complaints.
Our tip:
The intestines and immune system can be specifically strengthened with fiber, vitamins, minerals, and secondary plant substances.
Many autumn vegetables contain these important vital substances like in
- Fennel
- Broccoli
- Cauliflower
- Brussels sprouts
- Parsnip
- Beetroot
- Pumpkin
