Importance of micronutrients in Tuberculosis: Zinc & Iron
Zinc
No matter how well-nourished they were, numerous studies on patients with tuberculosis revealed significantly lower plasma zinc levels than those without the disease. An adequate zinc supply may also reduce free radical membrane damage during inflammation.
Nuts, beans, fish, lean meat, mushrooms, and spinach should all be part of your daily diet.
Iron
There are two possible explanations for the link between low iron status and infection. The first is that anaemia is caused by chronic infection, and the second is that iron deficiency increases susceptibility to infections such as tuberculosis.
Green leafy vegetables with a slice of lemon are a nutritious way to boost iron absorption in the body.
