The deadly outbreak of novel coronavirus (COVID-19) has affected every part of the globe irrespective of class, caste, age and religion. People above 30 yrs, and those with pre-existing medical conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, asthma and lung disease are more prone to the infection and have a tough time fighting off the virus. There is no vaccine till date for coronavirus. The only way is to avoid getting affected by social distancing and taking other measures, as covered by the governments time to time. Also our immune system can help us to recover and eliminate the virus from our body to a great extent. And the best way to boost our immunity is to eat healthy and exercise regularly.
The lockdown has given us an opportunity to understand our body and our environment in a positive and healthy way, and to make permanent changes to the way we eat and exercise.
So, the question on everyone’s mind is what to eat to boost up our immune system during this pandemic.
Here, I will be sharing a healthy and an easy to follow meal plan, which has been planned, keeping in mind all the the immune boosting foods available in the market during this period. This meal plan is packed with proteins, healthy fats, vitamins such as A, B, C, D and E, and essential minerals. On the same side, this meal plan is low in sugars, salts and visible fats so as to provide maximum nutrition and avoid weight gain in the quarantine period.
