Strengthen immunity, top 10 anti-epidemic ingredients are on the list! Nutritionist: Broccoli, nuts, garlic, etc. can improve antioxidant capacity

The number of local cases has exceeded 100 one after another, and the epidemic continues to escalate. People are "staying at home to prevent the epidemic" and not going out, but how the whole family should eat three meals a day is a big question. In particular, in addition to providing food and clothing, how to balance nutrition, enhance immunity, and build a protective shield cannot be ignored. Nutritionists will share the top 10 anti-epidemic ingredients, including broccoli, nuts, garlic, etc., so that everyone can protect their bodies and resist the threat of disease during the epidemic prevention period!

During the epidemic prevention period, the balanced nutrition of meals must not be neglected! Nutritionist Sun Yuming said that now she stays at home almost every day to cook for herself, and while eating, she pays attention to the latest developments of the epidemic. Eating at home not only reduces contact between people, but also allows her to accurately grasp nutrition during the epidemic prevention period.

Nutritionist Sun Yu-ming, who was born and raised in Wanhua, officially moved out after getting married. In the past few days, the epidemic has been spreading like a storm. Since Wanhua is the hardest hit area, she said that her mother was concerned about her and called her and ordered: "Don't go back to Wanhua for a while, understand!"

Seeing so many confirmed cases in my hometown, and thinking of most of my family members who live in Wanhua, I can't help but feel very worried. Apart from reminding my father, who has nothing to do after retirement and walks around all day, to be well behaved and stay at home, there is nothing else I can do.

During the epidemic prevention period, the balanced nutrition of meals must not be neglected!

Cauliflower contains the super antioxidant phytochemical "sulforaphane", which has multiple cell protection effects such as antioxidant and anti-inflammatory. During the epidemic prevention period, it is recommended to eat 5 servings of cruciferous vegetables per week.
