🌟 Join the Reset Academy 🌟

—————————————-
NOTES:

1. Fermented Foods
– Sauerkraut- Vit C
– Kimchi- L. Plantarum

2. Vit C rich foods
– Citrus fruits and juices (such as orange and grapefruit)
– Kiwi fruit
– Red and green peppers
– Broccoli
– Strawberries

Vitamin C accumulates in phagocytic cells, such as neutrophils, and can enhance chemotaxis, phagocytosis, generation of reactive oxygen species, and ultimately microbial killing.

Vitamin C deficiency results in impaired immunity and higher susceptibility to infections.

3. Vit E rich foods

Recent work has demonstrated that deficiencies in either Se or vitamin E result in increased viral pathogenicity and altered immune responses. Furthermore, deficiencies in either Se or vitamin E results in specific viral mutations, changing relatively benign viruses into virulent ones.

– Cashews
-Chickpeas
-Grass-fed meat
– Lentils
– Eggs
– Seeds: hemp, flax, pumpkin or squash seeds

4. Glutathione boosting foods

– Avocado
– Garlic
– Cabbage
– Brussel sprouts
– Asparagus
– Spinach

Most importantly we correlate the decreased GSH levels previously observed in individuals with pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) with an increase in the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines which aid in the growth of M. tb.

5. Vitamin A foods

Dark green leafy vegetables, for example, amaranth (red or green), spinach and chard. Orange-fleshed sweet potatoes. Carrots. Squashes/pumpkins.
Animal sources. Liver, eggs, milk (including breast milk)
Oils. Red palm oil or biruti palm oil.

Studies in animal models and cell lines show that vitamin A and play a major role in immunity, including expression of apoptosis, cytokine expression, production of antibody, and the function of neutrophils, natural killer cells, monocytes or macrophages,
