Immunity boosting diet for covid
India is passing through second wave of Corona pandemic , almost all major cities are recording highest single day cases , so this is a time , we need to take precautions and stay healthy . Despite taking all measures , if you find infected , dont worry . Your body can easily fight virus if you take right type of food and take right exercise . If you are Covid
positive , then you should take certain food
to boost your immunity and overcome the weakness
.
1) Morning drink First thing in the morning
, person should take a glass of lemonjuice
water , add to that a little haldi , chia
seeds and a pinch of cinnamon . Drink this
warm lemon juice water and feel fresh and
energetic . Haldi and cinnamon are anti viral
in nature , lemon juice is known to boost
immunity , so this combination can be an excellent
drink taken in the morning to start your day
freshly . One thing more , a tablespoon full
of honey and few drops of ginger could be
consumed in a day anytime . This combination
has excellent anti viral properties . Ginger
has ginger has ginger oil and shojal , both
are anti inflamattory and anti oxidant , thats
the reason a person must take a tablespoon
full of honey and few drops of ginger .
2) Morning Breakfast Breakfast is a must
and person should have proper breakfast , where
you can have Poha , Upma , Idli , Dosa and
such things even like chapati and varities
of chapatis in the morning , a spoon of ghee
also should be used , either in any of these
dishes that you eat or separately , but a
spoon of ghee. Ghee gives you very good Gut
health . Once you consume ghee you will notice
that gases would not be formed and even acidity
would not be there , food would be digested
very easily . Due to this infection , the
digestive system becomes very poor . People
have nausea and vomiting and feel quiet uneasy
in stomach , here when you take this mixture
and ghee added to it you will feel very comfortable
and digestion would be very strong . Most
importantly in breakfast , you must have some
liquid and so a herbal tea . Boil water with
ginger . Ginger is a must , boil water with
ginger , lemongrass , you can put pudina leaves
, mint leaves tulsi leaves also and boil it
well . Strain it and add milk add jaggery
and take this liquid . This will be a very
healthy liquid to be taken . Now lets understand
what to take at lunch . At lunchtime , whatever
you are used to , eat it , only it should
be a very easily digestable vegetarian food
. It could be dal rice it could be chapati
and vegetable but see to it that in vegetable
you add green leafy vegetable also and that
too spinach as far as possible and have a
glass of buttermilk also with all this . Spinach
has nitrates , this produces Ntiric oxide
, this nitric oxide has anti inflammatory
properties and this stops virus from spreading
in the body . Even pomogrenate juice , beetroot
juice and pineapple juice , they all have
nitrates , so consume them as a juice anytime
in a day . so now lets see what to eat in
evening as a evening snack , dates , nuts
, seeds must go in your system and this is
the time you can munch something , which you
feel like very light and nice , so you can
have puffed rice you can have pop corn you
can have sukha bhel sort of stuff you can
have a handful of gram chana you can have
groundnuts boiled with salted water , cooked
well and eaten at this time .All these foods
can be an excellent evening snack , only you
have to consume very little and finally dinner
. Dinner should be lightest among the whole
days routine . It could be kadhi khichdi or
it could be a very very thin dal as a soup
or any other soups . Mixed vegetable soup
, sweet corn soup or any other soup you could
take with khakhra , chapati or little bhakri
or little soft chapati and see that you have
proper dinner . Before going to bed , when
you are about to go to bed , take a little
cup of milk with turmeric , haldi . Preferably
it should be warm milk . In Ayurveda its mentioned
that turmeric milk is Ojas in nature , it
gives you a good amount of energy , it makes
you feel relaxed and so person should take
that at night . Such simple milk with turmeric
really help in better sleep and if you sleep
well all the hormones in your body are going
to help you to come up to the level where
immunity goes high and where the infection
is handled very easily . Foods like lemon
juice , beet , honey , dates , they are all
alkaline in nature , so eat them definitely
and see that you dont get acidic in your
system . What makes your food acidic , you
should know that chilly , garam masala , fried
food packeted food , all these are such food
that would make your system acidic , dont
use any of these things , be careful that
your body must have more alkaline liquids
and so every 2 hour you should eat something
out of what alkaline I have mentioned . Lemon
juice , dates take honey and ginger go on
taking a little little every 2 hours and see
that your system is more alkaline . So follow
this right kind of food , right kind of exercises
and what type of exercises you should do and
how to do I have mentioned this earlier , you
will find it in the link below , follow that
and understand , what makes system more acidic
, what makes system that would be harming
you is your state of mind . If mind has tension
, anxiety , fear , that is going to bring
nothing else but acidic tendency in your body
. So avoid that , start laughing , enjoy things
around you , think good think positive and
everything would be fine . You always attract
those things which you think . Your emotions
attract same type of emotions , so have a
very positive state of mind , make jokes and
laugh and giggle and that would make everything
beautiful . So enjoy life with infection without
infection because you can handle these things
very well .
Namaskar!!!
