Can food or nutritional supplements prevent the flu?
The flu, unlike the common cold, is a very painful illness. I suffer from a high fever of more than 38 degrees Celsius and muscle aches that feel like they have been beaten all over my body. If you have the flu, of course, you need to go to the hospital.
But what can you do to help with the flu or a cold through food or supplements? A lot of things are talked about, but probiotics can help. To be precise, it is a probiotic. Probiotics are beneficial bacteria. It refers to intestinal microorganisms that are beneficial to human health. Lactic acid bacteria are also included in the list of beneficial bacteria.
As you know, there are 100 trillion bacteria living in the human colon. Some of these bacteria are beneficial and some are harmful. It's important to fill up with good bacteria for your health.
In 20 clinical studies, probiotics were effective against the flu.
We conducted a meta-analysis of the results of 20 published randomized clinical trials. Randomized clinical trials and meta-analyses are large, long-term and show objective results, making them the most reliable of all medical research techniques.
The results showed that people who took some form of probiotics had an average of 1 day and up to 3 days less time with cold or flu than those who did not.
70% of a person's immune cells are concentrated in the large intestine.
Seventy percent of the body's immune cells are concentrated in the large intestine. This means that the colon must be healthy for immunity to increase. Therefore, yogurt is highly recommended. Of all the healthy foods, yogurt is the most helpful. This is because it contains a large amount of lactic acid bacteria. Kimchi is too salty, and the miso is boiled during the cooking process, so you can't get enough lactic acid bacteria.
It is also good to take lactic acid bacteria in the form of nutritional supplements. This is because it is much more economical compared to yogurt. The lactic acid bacteria preparations on the market contain 10 billion lactic acid bacteria per capsule, and the price per capsule is around 500 won, which is cheaper than yogurt that costs more than 1,000 won.
It's not that yogurt is bad. A 2014 study in the British Journal of Clinical Nutrition also showed that the same effect was achieved in people who took probiotic supplements as well as yogurt. Depending on your preference, such as cost and ease of use, take probiotics in whatever form you need to take every day. If you have a cold or flu, you can expect to reduce your symptoms even for a few days.
Please use probiotics to prepare your intestines as well as the colds and flu that you are worried about these days.
