‘Myths around COVID Immunity Diet Busted’: Top Takeaway Points by Fitness & Health Enthusiast and Dietitian & Yogic Nutritionist of SastaSundar
The Covid-19 pandemic is leaving a deep impact on our health and mind. During such trying times, strengthening our shield with the right diet is a necessity. With too much information on the ‘right kind of diet’ and ‘immunity-boosting ways’, confusion has developed regarding the authenticity of these details. This has further led to the rise of numerous myths about the ‘COVID immunity diet’. Hence we arranged for an interactive session to reveal the real facts over the myths that may help in taking necessary steps to strengthen our immune system accordingly.
Here are some quick pointers on the importance of the COVID diet and the myths surrounding it:
1.??????Food is necessary for the proper functioning of the body and immune system. Intake of different foods rich in various nutrients makes our shield stronger.
2.??????There’s NO specific food or spice that prevents COVID! Different foods have different kinds of nutrients. So having a varied combination of foods provide balanced nutrients to the body that helps the immune system function properly.
3.??????Cold symptoms can be managed by foods that generate heat in the body. For example, Aswagandha, Ginger, Garlic etc.
4.??????For sore throat, one can add turmeric to warm water and gargle, sip onto some lukewarm water or chew a stick of Yastimadhu to get relief.
5.??????Excessive consumption of any nutrient can be injurious to health. Dietary requirements differ from person to person so it is always better to consult a dietitian before making any alterations.

6.??????The human body gives various signals when something is wrong but we tend to overlook them. So it is better to undergo a preventive health check-up at a NABL accredited lab once/twice a year.
7.??????Excessive protein intake can cause health problems? Having questions about garlic consumption? To know the answers to these queries, watch the full session (link is given at the end).
8.??????Carbs provide energy to the body and improve brain function so cutting out more on carbs will lead to a deterioration in health.
