Ingredients with: pumpkin 100 grams, selenium-enriched yellow millet 30 grams, brown rice 30 grams.
Practice:
① pumpkin washed to retain the pumpkin skin and pumpkin seeds, cut into pieces, and millet, brown rice into the wall-breaking machine, add the right amount of water, turn on the rice paste function to complete the mixing can be.
Matching reason: pumpkin is rich in beta-carotene, can be converted into vitamin A in the body; pumpkin skin and pumpkin seeds are rich in the mineral zinc;
brown rice is rich in vitamin E; plus selenium yellow millet in the mineral selenium, interact with each other to enhance the immune system.
1, vitamin A
Vitamin A and its derivatives affect the immune function in many ways, when the body lacks, the body's immune function is impaired. Vitamin A deficiency can lead to atrophy of the "thymus" and "lymphoid organs", weight loss of the spleen, and a decrease in the number of circulating lymphocytes and antibody production.
When vitamin A is sufficient in the body, it promotes the regeneration and differentiation of T lymphocytes.
Vitamin A is necessary to maintain the number and activity of natural killer cells, which lyses and kills tumor cells, virus-infected cells and bacteria.
Vitamin A also has a regulatory effect on macrophages, promoting macrophage activation, enhancing macrophage function and tumor killing activity. Therefore, vitamins that are deficient, white blood cells will be significantly reduced.
2, vitamin E
Vitamin E is an important fat-soluble vitamin in the human body, and at the same time is an effective immunomodulator, in maintaining the normal function of the human immune system plays a key role. Vitamin E can improve the immune status and anti-infection ability, and regulate the signaling and gene expression of immune cells.
3, zinc
In our body, the mineral zinc is involved in the activation of hundreds of enzymes, so that these enzymes play an active role. In particular, thymus, DNA transferase and DNA-dependent RNA synthetase are closely related to the metabolism of immunologically active cells.
Therefore, zinc plays an important role in maintaining the normal development and function of the immune system.
4, selenium
Selenium is the active ingredient of glutathione peroxidation, when the body lacks selenium, the activity of glutathione peroxidase decreases, the ability to scavenge free radicals is weakened, and reactive oxygen species such as hydrogen peroxide and free radicals are increased, which leads to impaired cellular immunity and humoral immune function.
Selenium promotes the value-added of lymphocytes, increasing the number of lymphocytes involved in the immune response, thus enhancing the body's resistance to infection. Selenium also improves the ability of natural killer cells to kill tumor cells.
In addition, selenium can promote the secretion of lymphocytes, which has a certain activating effect on humoral immunity, promotes the formation and secretion of immunoglobulins, improves the body's ability to synthesize antibodies such as IgG and IgM, and enhances the body's response to antigens.
In summary, a cup of pumpkin millet energy soup for breakfast every day can effectively promote the body's immunity to enhance the success of the fight against cancer.
