Fermented foods and probiotics can have
anti-inflammatory and anti pathogenic
effects Your gut contains a rich community of
healthy microbes that compete against invading
pathogens, acting as your bodys first defense
against infection. They also digest nutrients
that you otherwise couldnt (like fiber and other
carbohydrates) in a process called fermentation,
which results in byproducts that play many
important roles in the body from protecting the
colon to improving insulin sensitivity.
Research, especially of late, has found that your
microbiome is a key component of a healthy immune
system and your bodys ability to fight off viral
and bacterial infections. Both probiotic suppleme
nts and fermented foodswhich are sources of live
microbescan significantly reduce your risk of
infection by fighting pathogens in the gut and
contributing to anti-inflammatory pathways around
the body.

Zinc makes an infection less severebut common
supplements exceed a safe limit of intake Zinc
plays an important role in immunity, as it's
involved in your body's cell-mediated and humoral 
immune responses (two types of immunity where a
specific immune response is generated for a
particular pathogen). Low or deficient levels of
zinc, therefore, profoundly affect the number of
your immune cells that are available to fight an
invader. After examining 13 randomized
placebo-controlled studies between zinc and the
common cold, researchers found that taking zinc
within 24 hours of the first signs of cold could
shorten its duration and make the symptoms less
severe. Men and women need 11mg and 8mg of zinc
per day, respectively. It's found primarily in
red meats and seafood, especially oysters and
mollusks. Zinc is also found in plant sources
like whole grains and legumes, but in much lower
quantities and with lower absorption than that
from animal products. Vegetarians and the
elderly, therefore, are at particular risk for
insufficient zinc intake from diet alone.

While it is important to meet your zinc needs,
it's equally as important to not go overboard.
The maximum amount of zinc you should take in a
day is 40mg known as the Tolerable Upper Intake
Level established by the Food and Nutrition
Board. Intakes above 40mg can cause copper
deficiency and neurological problems. Most
supplements and zinc-based cold remedies offer
levels above this upper limit, so be diligent
about which bottles you choose from the
shelf.  Vitamin C's reputation for immune
support is justified - but more is worse, not
better We cant talk about immunity without
addressing vitamin C. Like zinc, vitamin C is an
essential micronutrient that we must obtain from
our diets. It plays an important role in immunity
by acting as an antioxidant, enhancing immune
cell function and supporting anti-inflammatory
pathways in the body. A vitamin C deficiency can
therefore lead to impaired immune function and a
higher susceptibility to infections.
This review looked at hundreds of studies
examining vitamin Cs role in immunity. The
researcher concluded that supplementing with
vitamin C at around 100-200mg per day may prevent
respiratory infections.

A typical Airborne packet or supplement has
around 1,000mg of vitamin C! And whats more, the
absorption of vitamin C decreases with increased
intake. For example, only 16 is absorbed at high
intakes (1,200mg) but up to 98 is absorbed at
low intakes (lt20mg). Once you hit 1,000mg,
approximately less than 50 of the vitamin C you
consume will be absorbedand the rest will just
be excreted in the urine. Therefore, vitamin C is
best taken in two to three smaller doses with
meals. Toxicity of vitamin C is unusual, but
adverse effects may increase if you supplement
above the Tolerable Upper Intake Level (2,000mg
per day) in the long-term. Vitamin C is most
abundant in fresh, whole foods like pineapple,
kiwi, and broccoli. And the lack of fresh produce
in the typical U.S. diet (among other reasons)
has caused vitamin C deficiency to be one of the
leading nutrient deficiencies in the country. As
a water soluble vitamin, vitamin C is never
stored in the body. We, therefore, must focus on
eating vitamin C-rich foods every day to meet our
needs.
