Experts who state that expensive products are not necessary to maintain health emphasize that simple meals in daily nutrition can also have a strong effect.
Medianews.az, referring to Foodinfo.az, reports that doctor Olga Sayno said that one of the most beneficial foods for immunity is chicken broth. According to her, the effect of this dish is related to its rich composition: the broth contains minerals such as collagen, potassium, magnesium, phosphorus, as well as amino acids like glycine and proline, which help the body's recovery.
The specialist notes that substances such as carnosine and cysteine especially help reduce inflammation and ease the respiratory tract. Cysteine affects the thinning of phlegm and the alleviation of cough, which makes broth more useful during colds. In addition, the L-carnitine contained supports the transport of fatty acids in the body.
According to the doctor, adding spices to the broth further strengthens its effect – it increases blood circulation in the mucous membranes and stimulates the immune system. This dish is useful not only during illness but also for recovery after sports, as it helps regulate electrolyte balance.
Fish broth is also recommended as an alternative. It is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin D, and iodine, which are very important for heart and thyroid gland health.
