Low immunity in pregnancy? Check out the foods that strengthen the body

During pregnancy, the body’s immunity usually suffers a drop, due to the action of hormones.

Keeping immunity high is important at any stage of life, but during gestation, it deserves extra attention. It is at this stage that the body’s defenses usually suffer a drop, due to the action of hormones.

The good news is that there are many foods available that can boost the immunity of the expectant mother, ensuring more protection for her and the developing baby.

“So for pregnant women, I’ve prepared a list of foods that can help”, comments Dr. Domingos Mantelli, gynecologist, obstetrician and father of Giulia and gives Isabella!

What foods help with immunity during pregnancy?

citrus fruits

Rich in vitamin C, they help in increasing the production of defense cells in the body. Among them are lemon, orange, acerola and tangerine.

Shitake mushroom

It has a substance called lentinan, responsible for helping the body’s immune system, preventing diseases and infections.

probiotics

Probiotics are made up of colonies of beneficial bacteria that are great for gut health and the absorption of vitamins and minerals.

dark green vegetables

Kale, watercress, spinach, chicory and broccoli are rich in vitamins A, B12, B6 and methylfolate, which help maintain immunity.

Water

Hydration is very important for the pregnant woman, after all, water is responsible for transporting nutrients, mineral salts and oxygen to the cells, as well as helping to release toxins.

Garlic

It has a large amount of allicin, as well as vitamins A and C, essential for fighting infections and the proper functioning of the immune system.

Yacon potato

Rich in potassium, vitamin C and fructooligosaccharides (prebiotic fibers), this potato is excellent for the proper functioning of the intestinal flora and prevention of type II diabetes.
