Whether it‘s pathogens, dry heating air or pollution in the environment - our immune system performs at its best every day to keep us healthy. But we often don‘t make it easy for it. Stress, an unhealthy diet, alcoholic drinks, little sleep and a lack of exercise in everyday life can really weaken the body‘s defenses.
Once the child has fallen into the well, we have no choice but to look for solutions to overcome the illness. Our superfoods help you to build up your immunity so that it doesn‘t get that far in the first place. Antioxidants, minerals (especially zinc) and essential fatty acids play a very important role here.
Antioxidants
Antioxidants fight free radicals. Free radicals are highly aggressive oxygen-rich compounds that are constantly formed in our organism during numerous metabolic processes. Certain external influences, such as smoking in particular, but also UV rays and certain environmental chemicals, even encourage the formation of free radicals. Our body has numerous defense mechanisms to ward off the damage caused by these radical attacks.
For example, there are enzymes whose task is to detoxify free radicals. However, antioxidants are particularly important for rendering radicals harmless. These include vitamins (e.g. vitamin E, vitamin C, beta-carotene), minerals and secondary plant substances, which are contained in fruit, vegetables and cereals. They are also found in impressive quantities in our superfoods such as maqui, acai, aronia, mulberries, cocoa powder and blueberries.
Minerals
Wer ausreichend Mineralien mit der Nahrung aufnimmt, hält seinen Körper in Balance. Mineralien sind die Zündkerzen des Stoffwechsels, denn sie sind entscheidend an der Energiegewinnung des Körpers beteiligt. Bei der Bildung von Zellen und Geweben sind Mineralien eine Art Mikronährstoff, der für unsere allgemeine Gesundheit von Bedeutung ist. Unter den zahlreichen Mineralstoffen ist insbesondere Zink ein aktiver Immunitätsverstärker, der eifrig die Zellproduktion in unserem Immunsystem reguliert und Entzündung bekämpft.
Essential fatty acids
A distinction is made between omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. These omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids are essential for humans, i.e. the body cannot produce them itself and they must be obtained from food. Polyunsaturated fatty acids fulfill important functions in our body, they contribute to the maintenance of normal cholesterol levels and are necessary for normal growth and healthy development. Hemp protein and chia contain essential fatty acids.
A healthy breakfast with immunity-promoting nutrients is the best and also the smartest way to supply the body with all the important substances and energy sources before starting the day. With our sooperfood mixes, you can give something back to your body and recharge your batteries.
