Consuming adequate amounts of protein and zinc helps maximize the health of the immune system in elderly individuals.

Why are protein and zinc important for the immune system?

  • Because protein and zinc help immune cells grow and function normally, even a minor or moderate shortage can cause lymphocytes, neutrophils, and macrophages—which defend the body from germs and viruses—to work less actively.
  • Amino acids make up proteins. These substances aid in transforming T cells, B cells, and antibodies—important immune system components—into germ-fighters that recognize and eliminate potentially infectious cells as they enter your body.
  • People require vitamin zinc to maintain good health. Each cell in the body has zinc.
  • It supports the immune system's defense against invasive viruses and bacteria. Additionally, the body needs zinc to produce DNA, the genetic material found in every cell, and proteins.
