The use of lard, ghee and other fats of animal origin will help protect immunity in the conditions of the spread of Omicron, a strain of coronavirus. This was told on Friday, January 21, by the doctor of medical sciences, professor of the Federal Medical and Biological Agency, doctor of personalized medicine, nutritionist Margarita Koroleva.
She clarified that a person can eat a piece of fat in the morning. According to the doctor, one of the main functions of animal fats in the body is respiratory, which is extremely useful.
“The alveolar apparatus of the lung tissue is lined with a surfactant based on more than 90% saturated fat. The quality of the surfactant determines the airiness of the lungs, the impeccability of gas exchange and oxygenation of the body, ”said the Queen in an interview with the City News Agency“Moscow“.
At the same time, the doctor added that the cell membrane, which also includes saturated fats, will support cellular immunity. This, as the specialist assured, will not allow the virus to spread faster.
“It is also important to remember that animal and vegetable oils contain vitamin A (stimulates the production of killer cells that kill bacteria and viruses) and vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant, which are abundant not only in oils, but also in nuts, avocados, egg yolk, as well as in whole grains, ”Koroleva emphasized.
However, she recommended including sauerkraut, which is rich in probiotics and high in vitamin C, in the diet.
At the same time, experts note that it is impossible to self-medicate, and you should consult with doctors.
