Fall Pests: These Foods Weak Your Immunity the Most

During the fall-winter season, diseases await us around every corner. It seems that coughing and sneezing are an inevitable part of the cold season. What if we told you it’s not true?

Experts assure us: certain foods also suppress the immune system. If you limit or completely remove them from your diet, you will not be afraid of viruses or colds. Remember the list of these tasty “pests”!

Sweets, bakery and confectionery products negatively affect the immune system of the oral cavity, creating a favorable environment for the proliferation of bacteria, which means that they are dangerous not only in case of caries, but also in case of exacerbation of pharyngitis.

It is believed that to increase immunity in the fall, you need to eat more green vegetables. This is true, but there is a “but”. Excessive consumption of rhubarb, sorrel, spinach and artichokes interferes with mineral absorption.

This happens because oxalic acid binds to minerals in the intestines and forms large molecules that make it difficult for nutrients to be absorbed into the bloodstream.

This breakfast will prevent you from craving “sugar” and help you lose weight: it is ready in 5 minutes!

A mug of mulled wine on a rainy autumn evening certainly won’t hurt, but you definitely shouldn’t get carried away with alcohol. It slows down the activity of white blood cells and inhibits the formation of antibodies in the body, which reduces the ability to resist diseases.

We can safely call fast food and fast food a real challenge for the immune system: such products essentially force the body to attack itself. And fast food also contains a lot of sugar – remember our first point!
