#Food that strengthens immunity#

 A new medical study showed that there are foods that contain chemicals that are able to prevent the reproduction of the Corona virus.

Among these foods are green tea, muscadine grapes, and coca (dark chocolate). They contain, according to the study prepared by researchers specializing in plant science at the University of North Carolina, on chemical compounds that bind to an enzyme important for the reproduction of the virus called Protease, thus disrupting its activity.

"If we block or disrupt the activity of the protease, the virus will die," Dr. de Yu Z, a plant biologist, told WNCN.

Laboratory experiments supported this result, especially green tea, as it contains five chemical compounds that bind to the viral enzyme, according to the study.
 

The chemicals present in these plants are used by plants for self-defense, and are known for their strong anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, according to the authors of the study published in Frontiers in Plant Science.
