Don’t be confused it’s very simple and not that much time consuming you just need to follow some stems, need to add some healthy things in your diet & most important you need to make it as your daily habit.
So, let’s see the process. Keep reading till the end, surely you will get it helpful.
First of all, let’s start with some basic things.
Why do we need to improve our immunity –
The immune system has a viral role or we can say that it is the only way to fight with harmful things that enter into our body from outside or to fight disease-causing changes inside our body, such as cancer cells.
As long as your immune system is running smoothly everything is fine but if it stops working properly –because it’s weak or can’t fight particularly aggressive germs- you get ill.
Our immune system creates, stores, and distributes the white blood cells that fight bacteria and viruses that enter into our bodies. It protects our body from infection.

So, I hope now it’s clear to all of you that why it’s important to improve your Immune system during this pandemic.
Now the question is,
How to improve your immune system?
- Add some citrus fruits (grapes, oranges, lemons, etc.), red bell peppers, Papaya & Kiwis which are high in vitamin C in your daily diet. It increases the production of white blood cells, which are key to fighting infections. Because your body doesn’t produce or store it, you need daily vitamin C for continued health.
- Spices like ginger, garlic, turmeric, and capsaicin (from chili peppers) which can be easily added to soups, stews, stir-frys, or salad dressings. These little spices also can make a big change in your health. These have powerful anti-inflammatory and antiviral properties. These also have been shown to enhance immune health by stimulating protective white blood cells
- Replace your normal tea with Green tea which packed with flavonoids, a type of antioxidant & Epigallocatechin Gallate (EGCG), another powerful antioxidant. In studies, EGCG has been shown to enhance immune functions. Green tea is also a good source of the amino acid L-theanine. L-theanine may aid in the production of germ-fighting compounds in your T cells.

5. Limit salt intake to 5 grams (equivalent to a teaspoon) a day. When cooking and preparing foods, use salt sparingly, and reduce the use of salty sauces and condiments (like soy sauce, stock or fish sauce). If using canned or dried food, choose varieties of vegetables, nuts and fruit, without added salt and sugars.
6. Drink enough water & stay hydrated. Good hydration is crucial for optimal health. Whenever available and safe for consumption, tap water is the healthiest and cheapest drink. Drinking water instead of sugar-sweetened beverages is a simple way to limit your intake of sugar and excess calories.
Some other ways to improve your immune system –
- Exercise regularly
- Don’t smoke (try to change your bad habits & adapt some good ones, his is the time for change)
- Maintain a healthy weight
- Get adequate sleep.
- Take steps to avoid infection, such as washing your hands frequently and cooking meats thoroughly.
- Try to minimize stress.
- If you drink alcohol, drink only in moderation.

Conclusion –
Eating a healthy diet is compulsory during the COVID-19 pandemic. Though no foods or dietary supplements can prevent or cure COVID-19 infection, healthy diets are important for supporting immune systems. Good nutrition can also reduce the likelihood of developing other health problems, including obesity, heart disease, diabetes, and some types of cancer.
