Protein is the key nutrient of human immune system, and the essence of antibody is protein substance with special function. Therefore, we must ensure that we regularly take a certain amount of high-quality protein from food, mainly from milk, eggs, fish and shrimp, lean meat, soybeans and products. In animal protein, protein is the best among milk and eggs, so we should get into the habit of drinking milk and eating eggs every day. The best plant protein is soybean protein, so you should eat more soy products on weekdays, such as tofu, bean skin, yuba and so on. If you have a soymilk machine at home, you might as well put all kinds of beans together and drink a cup of nutritious soymilk every day to fight a cold.
2. Fungi improve immunity
Fungi contain fungal polysaccharides, which are effective substances to improve and protect the body's immunity. Boletus, Flammulina velutipes, Lentinus edodes and Lentinus edodes, which can be seen everywhere in the market, are not only delicious, but also nutritious, and are also excellent foods to fight colds.
