HOW TO MAINTAIN A HEALTHY DIET DURING THE COVID 19 PANDEMIC ?

Hello everyone, Today I Am talking about the present situation as we all familiar with the name of covid19. Let me begin by saying that I am with you and I understand your pain and anxiety. This coronavirus has the potential to infect hundreds of people within a very short period. So, the need of the hour is to protect yourselves in every possible way. While we have begun washing our hands, using sanitisers, wearing masks and practicing social distancing, most people are forgetting their immune system. More emphasis needs to be placed on building our immunity.

THE RIGHT NUTRITION:-

How many of us today, wake up in the morning and think
about what we are going to choose to eat in order to build our immunity to support our bodies fighting against disease capacity? May be only a few. Most of us are thinking about how to stock up our kitchen or fill up on masks and sanitisers. Here’s what I suggest people stock up on when it comes to eating right.






Eat protective foods like amla juice, haldi juice, tulsi juice and – avoid depleted food(with low nutrient such as biscuits,cookies, cakes ,Desserts, Anything made from white flour ( maida) like noodles, Roomali roti, white bread, naan, packaged cereals, white sugar etc.

Increase your protein intake in the form of whole dals, fish, eggs, chicken, paneer, etc.
Eat more cooked  vegetables.
Avoid eating out.










Eat freshly cooked food as it has more nutrients.

Foods like Indian gooseberries, citrus fruits like oranges
 and sweet lime,
are rich in Vitamin C and have tremendous immune boosting properties.

Ayurvedic herbs are very helpful i streghtning our immune system.

Homeophathic  medicine are also provide great support to our immune system.






It is important to follow an integrated approach to boost our immunity — the one that uses Ayurveda, homeopathy, nutrition and vitamin and minerals, supplements and functional foods.

                                                     

                            here is no doubt that healthy eating habits, lead to healthy lifestyles which increases immunity to fight various illnesses and infections. However, there still would be some disease and infections, which would keep striking us, once in a while,regardless of  how well we plan our meal plannings.
                                          



                                         
                     Nutrition cannot eliminate the chances of contracting infection, it would certainly be helpful in Streghthening our immune system &Decreases the duration & Strength of most infections.

Some notes on stress ,Loneliness & Eating habits:-

How can stress and loneliness affect your diet? Well, the cascade of these hormonal changes can signal the brain to eat more frequently, crave high-fat and sugary foods, increase appetite, and ultimately result in weight gain. Indeed.Research in animals shows that social-isolation-induced obesity (SIO) is another potential concern. The allure of being home and eating entire boxes of cookies, pints of ice cream, and bags of potato chips is very real for individuals who already struggle with managing weight and aren’t accustomed to having less social interaction.
