Boost Your Immunity During Seasonal Changes with These Foods

[서울=뉴시스] Reporter Hwang Jun-seon = Citizens are purchasing ritual goods such as chestnuts and jujubes at Cheongnyangni General Market in Dongdaemun-gu, Seoul on the morning of the 18th of last month. 2023.09.18. hwang@newsis.com

[서울=뉴시스]Reporter Song Jong-ho = This year’s Chuseok holiday will be mostly sunny, but the daily temperature difference is expected to be very large. The large daily temperature difference between morning and evening depletes skin and muscle energy and reduces the function of our body’s immune cells.

During seasonal changes with large daily temperature differences, it is easy for immunity to decrease, so you need to be more careful about colds.

According to the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety on the 2nd, five foods, including ginger, bean sprouts, garlic, bellflower root, and jujube, are helpful in preventing colds during seasonal changes.

Ginger has a unique spicy taste due to the gingerol and shogaol components, and has the effect of warming the body by helping blood circulation in the body.

Bean sprouts contain not only vitamin C but also vitamins B and A, which are good for increasing immunity. Bean sprouts contain vitamin C, which is not present in beans. Since ancient times, bean sprouts have served as a valuable source of vitamins during the winter when vegetables are scarce. It is known that 100g of bean sprouts contains 16 to 20 mg of vitamin C.

Garlic is rich in allicin. Spicy ingredients, including allicin, help improve blood circulation and warm the body.

If you chew or slice raw garlic, the cells will be destroyed and a strong odor will be released due to enzyme decomposition. Garlic is also used to remove the fishy smell of meat when making various dishes.

Bellflower root is rich in saponin, which is effective in alleviating inflammation and phlegm and enhancing immunity. Saponin is one of the main components of ginseng.

Bellflower is collected from spring to fall and can be eaten raw or dried. During holidays, bellflower root is prepared and skewered alternately with beef to make bellflower root.

Jujube is a food rich in nutrients such as malic acid, tartaric acid, and vitamin A. If you eat a lot of raw jujube, you can see the effect of increasing heat in the body. Jujube is an essential fruit when making holiday food. When performing a ancestral rite, the fruit is left as is or is often used as a garnish for rice cakes or food.

In oriental medicine, jujube is a medicinal herb used as frequently as licorice and ginger. When preparing herbal medicine, it goes well with all medicinal herbs and is said to be effective as a diuretic, tonic, and antitussive agent. Antitussive drugs are drugs used to relieve coughing.

In Donguibogam, jujube is described as being warm in nature, sweet in taste, and non-poisonous. Because jujube is warm in nature, it is helpful for people with cold hands and feet or a cold stomach. Galgeun-tang, which is used as a cold medicine in oriental medicine, contains peony, cinnamon, licorice, galgeun (kudzu root), and jujube.
