Since the outbreak of the new crown pneumonia, parents have increasingly realized the importance of improving their children's immunity. How can we help children improve their immunity? Nutrition experts said that to improve immunity, protein supplementation is very important.

Since the outbreak of the new crown pneumonia, everyone has learned from various sources that their own immunity can resist the virus. People with high immunity are much less likely to develop a severe illness than people with low immunity. So, what exactly is immunity? How can we improve?

What is immunity?

Immunity is the body's ability to resist diseases and foreign pathogenic factors, such as bacteria and viruses. These external pathogenic factors are like foreign invading enemies, and immunity is our own guard. If the combat power of our guards bursts out, then foreign invading enemies will be easily wiped out. However, as there are certain differences in the nutrition and health of each person, there are also differences in the strength of immunity.

What are the factors that affect immunity? Protein is the key.

Many factors affect immunity. Mature, good immunity is gradually developed from the fetus, infants, and young children. In addition to uncontrollable factors such as heredity, age, and gender, it is also worth paying attention to controllable factors such as nutrition and the environment. Nutrition is the material basis for maintaining life activities and health, and it is also a key factor affecting immunity.

The main biological components of immune factors in our body are protein and some trace elements. Protein is an important component of the human body. It can be said that there is no life without protein.

How to get protein?

We can get protein from food, but protein is also divided into high-quality and general. Not all proteins can be absorbed well by the human body, so we call the protein that is easily digested and absorbed by the human body as a high-quality protein. The recognized high-quality protein is milk, meat, fish, egg, and soy protein. According to the recommended intake of Chinese residents' dietary guidelines, a normal adult consumes an average of 50g of livestock and poultry meat, one egg, 50g of fish and shrimp, 25g of soybeans, and 300ml of milk every day, which can ensure the high-quality protein the body needs. If it is a teenager in the growth and development period, it is necessary to appropriately increase the intake of high-quality protein.

How to improve the digestion and absorption rate of protein?

Proper cooking and processing of foods rich in high-quality protein will increase the rate of digestion and absorption, as well as better absorption of nutrients. The more appropriate cooking methods are generally: steaming, boiling, and stewing, which can improve digestibility and ensure food safety. Therefore, in general, do not eat raw meat or fish.

Therefore, we must know that high-quality protein is the key to improving immunity. We must use appropriate cooking methods and achieve food diversification, and our own guards will be invincible!
