I am writing a series of blogs about food.

I wrote about the nutrients and foods necessary for pregnancy in the first installment.

To review, it was necessary to consume folic acid and calcium during pregnancy, and it was also important to avoid iron and vitamin D deficiency.

In Matsumi Ladies Clinic, we have been actively investigating the immune status of patients with infertility with implantation failure, repeated pregnancy loss, and infertility with previous miscarriage or induced abortion.

Furthermore, we are developing our treatment using original medication and intravenous infusions to prevent excess rejection reactions.

Our treatment from the viewpoint of immunity was highly evaluated at the 2nd Asian Congress for Reproductive Immunology, held in Korea.

We are scheduled to present at the Japanese Society for Immunology of Reproduction Congress to be held in Toyama.

I want to preface my remarks by saying we are developing immune-targeted therapies.

The second blog in the Matsumi Ladies Clinic series, developing treatments for targeting immunity, is about foods that optimize immune conditions.

A nutritionally balanced diet is essential for immunity.

Vitamin C strengthens immune function and is abundant in citrus fruits, kiwi, and bell peppers.

Vitamin E is rich in nuts, seeds, and spinach, has antioxidant properties, and supports the immune system.

Zinc is a mineral necessary for immune cell production and is abundant in oysters, beef, and pumpkin seeds.

Lactic acid bacteria in fermented foods such as yogurt, kimchi, and natto regulate the intestinal environment.

Incorporating these foods into your daily diet may optimize your immune system and maintain reasonable health.
