5 Ways Nutrition Could Help Your Immune System Fight Off Coronavirus

2. B vitamins

B vitamins, especially B6, B9, and B12, contribute to the first response of your body after we have identified the disease.

They do this by influencing “natural killer” cells’ production and activity. Natural murder cells function by “imploding,” a process called apoptosis, the infected cells.

We can find b6 in cereals, legumes, leafy greens, fruits, nuts, fish, chicken, and meat.
In green leafy foods, pulpit, nuts, and seeds, B9 (folate) is plentiful and is added to the commercial meal for bread making.

B12 (cyanocobalamin) is found in animal products, including eggs, meat, and dairy, and also in fortified soy milk (check the nutrition information panel).
