Functional Foods and Immunity: Nutritional Defense Against COVID-19

Functional Foods and Immunity: Nutritional Defense Against COVID-19 explores how dietary choices can bolster your immune system to combat the COVID-19 pandemic. As the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic, it became crucial to adopt key measures to protect ourselves. Beyond maintaining hygiene standards like frequent hand washing, especially after using public transport, strengthening our immunity is essential. Individuals with pre-existing conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, and respiratory issues are at higher risk of severe COVID-19 complications, which also increase with age. Conversely, younger individuals with strong immunity can often experience milder symptoms. Our dietary choices significantly impact our health and immunity. Consuming a low-carb diet can help manage blood sugar and pressure, while a protein-rich diet keeps us in good shape. Regularly eating vegetables and fruits rich in beta carotene, ascorbic acid, and other essential vitamins boosts our resilience. Foods like mushrooms, tomatoes, bell peppers, broccoli, and spinach are excellent for building immunity against infections. The urgent need is to quickly enhance our immune systems to stay healthy. Adopting a proper diet and taking immunity-boosting measures will help us stay resilient.
