Answer to Question 1

A
Protein stores must be kept at an adequate level in order to produce antibodies, thus boosting the immune system. Eggs and beans are a good source of protein. Increasing intake of celery and water increases fluid. Pasta and bread are carbohydrate-rich foods. Olive oil and peanuts feature unsaturated fats. Fluids, carbohydrates, and unsaturated fats will not enhance the immune sys-tem.

25000
25,000
