To increase the body’s defenses and strengthen the immune system, it is very important to include foods rich in vitamins and minerals in your daily diet. One of the easiest ways to do this is to prepare juices and vitamins that include fruits, vegetables, seeds and/or nuts, as these are foods that contain the most important nutrients for immunity.
When immunity is reduced, the person has a better chance of getting diseases and, therefore, the ideal is to consume these juices on a regular basis, because in this way it is easier to get the body to have an adequate supply of vitamins and minerals, such as vitamin C, vitamin A and zinc, which are essential to stimulate, regulate and increase the body’s defense cells.
