Foods You Should Serve Your Kids to Improve Their Immunity
增强宝宝免疫力的食物
Blueberries
蓝莓
In addition to being a great source of antioxidants, blueberries activate special immune cells called myeloid dendritic cells that protect the body against infection. Researchers have also shown that eating blueberries can improve the immune benefits of exercise, which kids should get plenty of playing outside in the summer.
除了是抗氧化剂的绝佳来源之外,蓝莓还能激活被称之为骨髓树突状细胞的特殊免疫细胞,保护身体免受感染。研究员表示,吃蓝莓还能提高锻炼的免疫益处(夏天来了,应多让小孩子在户外玩耍)。
Fresh blueberries are a delicious snack, but you can get creative by making a kid-friendly smoothie with fresh or frozen blueberries blended with plain yogurt.
新鲜蓝莓是道美味零食,但也可以用新鲜蓝莓榨汁或在原味酸奶上撒冷冻蓝莓,宝宝会很喜欢哦!
Broccoli Sprouts
西兰花芽
Regular broccoli is an immunity booster, but it's not very kid-friendly. Try broccoli sprouts instead. These three-day old tendrils are baby plants that have a mild, nutty taste that most children won’t mind. And when it comes to immune benefits, which comes from a natural chemical called sulforaphane, sprouts pack a whopping punch. Broccoli sprouts contain as much as 100 times more sulforaphane than full-grown broccoli.
西兰花本身就可以增强免疫力,但大多数小孩儿却不喜欢吃。试着让宝宝吃西兰花芽吧。只需三天,西兰花上就可形成一种坚果味儿的幼苗,大多数宝宝都不介意这种味道。就免疫益处而言,西兰花芽富含萝卜硫素这一天然化学物。西兰花芽的萝卜硫素含量是西兰花的100倍。
Researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Stanford and the University Children’s Hospital Basel in Switzerland showed that drinking a shake made with broccoli sprouts can greatly enhance the body’s immune response to a virus compared to a placebo shake.
北卡罗来纳大学教堂山分校、斯坦福大学位于瑞士的巴塞尔儿童医院的研究员表示,与安慰剂奶昔相比,喝西兰花芽奶昔可大大增强儿童对病毒的免疫力。
Mushrooms
蘑菇
Mushrooms are a great source of immune-stimulating beta-glucan. A study from University of Western Sydney in Australia showed eating white button mushrooms could improve the number of infection-fighting antibodies in the saliva. The mushrooms activated the gut, which stimulated the immune system to produce the antibodies.
蘑菇是免疫刺激剂β-葡聚糖的重要来源。澳大利亚西悉尼大学的一项研究表明,吃白蘑菇可以增加唾液中抗感染抗体的数量。蘑菇会刺激肠道,进而刺激免疫系统产生抗体。
Think mushrooms are a hard sell to your kids? Saute them in a pan with some olive oil, and then mix them finely chopped into an omelet as it's cooking. Or make an old-fashioned mushroom barley soup.
宝宝不喜欢吃蘑菇?在锅中倒入橄榄油,煎炒蘑菇,然后将煎好的蘑菇切碎放入正在烹饪的鸡蛋卷中。再或者,做一份老式的蘑菇大麦汤吧!
Kiwifruit
猕猴桃
In addition to its brilliant color and sweet taste, kiwifruit can improve immunity by supporting our healthy gut bacteria, or what's also called as our microbiome. These bacteria actually help control our body’s immune response. Researchers from the National University of Singapore found that eating just two kiwifruits a day could increase one beneficial bacteria called Lactobacillus by as much as 35 percent in only 24 hours
猕猴桃色泽鲜艳、多汁味美,可以通过维持健康的肠道细菌或肠道微生物菌群增强免疫力。这些细菌有助于控制身体的免疫反应。新加坡国立大学的研究员发现:每天吃2颗猕猴桃可以在24小时内将体内一种叫做乳杆菌的有益细菌数量增加35%。
