With COVID-19 spreading worldwide and no treatment yet, focusing on our immune system is the best way. We must protect ourselves by strengthening immunity and boosting everything that helps fight the Corona virus.
A strong immune system can stand in this fight, win, and protect against infection from the global COVID-19 pandemic.
Now here is a list of 5 nutrients that boost immunity:-
Yogurt :-
To protect from Corona virus, experts and doctors recommend washing hands regularly or using alcohol that kills germs but also kills good bacteria key to building immunity. This is where 'yogurt' comes in. It has natural probiotics that help form good bacteria in our bodies, which then help strengthen immunity. But it's important to use fresh yogurt.
Turmeric :-
Turmeric is the yellow gold antioxidant and anti-inflammatory. It contains the active substance 'curcumin' which helps heal wounds and inflammation. You can benefit by drinking 'turmeric milk'. It's common to take turmeric with water but that's a mistake. For best results, boil turmeric with milk. You can also take it with coconut oil and black pepper.
Natural antiviral foods :-
To boost immunity and get rid of toxins, we should turn to natural antiviral foods like "Tulsi leaves, star anise (a type of spice), garlic, and ginger". These foods are simple and quick to prepare. For example, you can boil three or four Tulsi leaves in water and then drink it,
You can take three or four pieces of star anise, boil well in water, and drink it hot, same with ginger. It's best to eat garlic regularly by adding it to our daily meals.
Vitamins :-
Right now, 2 of the strongest vitamins lead the way to boost immunity:
- Vitamin C
- Vitamin D
You can get them naturally from fruits and vegetables like citrus, lemon, and orange. Also, egg yolk and mushrooms play a role in getting vitamin D. We should also mention a very important fruit full of benefits and essential elements which is the amla fruit or Indian gooseberry. It's recommended to drink a cup of amla juice daily.
These vitamins, especially vitamin C, are relied on to fight COVID-19.
Zinc :-
Zinc is a strong nutrient your immune system needs because it’s full of benefits. You can get zinc from cashews, chickpeas, and pumpkin seeds or by taking zinc supplements.
