11Nutritious Foods
A balanced diet with easy-to-digest and nutritious foods can also help with walking pneumonia. Focus on soups, such as chicken bouillon or chicken soup to provide your immune system with essential nutrients to fight against bacteria. Also, it is better to have small meals during the day rather than big meals. Start your morning with mushroom and egg, for instance. Eggs can be a great source of zinc, an important mineral to boost the immune system. Also, add yogurt to your meal to provide active cultures, which would help gut bacteria and immunity activities. For dinner, consume foods that are rich in antioxidants and vitamin C, such as leafy green veggies, berries, oranges, or red peppers. Foods with vitamin A and beta-carotene should also be consumed, such as sweet potatoes, squash, and carrots. [11]
