Immunity Amidst COVID

In the wake of Covid-19 outbreak, entire mankind across the globe is suffering. Enhancing the body’s natural defense system that is immunity is one of the crucial shields in maintaining optimum health. This pandemic can feel overwhelming and it is normal to feel stressed during uncertain times like these. As it is quoted ‘prevention is better than cure’, while there is no definitive cure in sight currently, people are gravitating towards various preventive measures to strengthen their immune system and to battle the highly contagious novel coronavirus.

Take a look at what you can do to nourish your body and keep your immune system strong.

  • External Protection
    • Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after visiting a public place, or after blowing your nose, coughing or sneezing. Usage of sanitizer with more than 60% of alcohol is also recommended.
    • Maintain proper social distancing in public places.
    • Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.
    • Cover your mouth and nose with medical masks.
  • Healthy Food Intake
    Consuming the right amount of balanced diet consisting of green leafy vegetables, fruits, whole grains, eggs, and meat. Fruits and vegetables are loaded with immunity-boosting capabilities. Key nutrients such as vitamin C, vitamin A, and Vitamin D are important in maintaining a good immune system. Some of the foods touted for their immune-boosting properties are ginger, citrus fruits, turmeric, oregano oil to name a few.
  • Dietary Supplements 
    While we get all our nutrients from fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, but relying wholly on modern-day eating habits aren’t the best possible way to about it. It is necessary to supplement your daily food to enhance your immunity, vision, and tissue repair with BonAyu’s easy to use mouth dissolving strips that come in exotic flavors.There are a variety of supplements like Multivitamins, vitamin D3, vitamin C, fish oils, and probiotics that are very supportive of the immune system. These supplements are gluten-free, lactose-free, and low in calories approved by FDA that are very easily available online.
  • Improve your sleep habits
    A healthy immune system can help avoid or fight off infection. A sleep-deprived immune system doesn’t work as well. It has been shown that short sleepers – those who regularly slept less than six hours a night – are more likely to catch the infections compared with those who got more than seven hours of sleep. Stick to a regular bedtime and wake-up schedule. Avoid screens, late-night eating, and exercise right before bedtime.
  • Stress Management
    While there is no need to panic, it is advisable that we follow the instructions that are being issued to the public. Worries about the coronavirus and the general disruption of life have added to our stress levels, but we know that stress also can make us more susceptible to respiratory illness like COVID-19.
  • Physical Activity
    Physical activities have proven to fight off infections, bacterias, germs, and viruses. A healthy adult needs at least 2 hours and 30 minutes of physical activity every week. Choose activities that you enjoy, and start by doing as much as you can.
  • Stay Hydrated
    Drink up to 8-10 glasses of water every day, to stay hydrated. Hydration will help flush out the toxins from the body and lower the chances of flu. Other alternatives include juices made of citrus fruits and coconut water, to beat the heat.While the battle against the Covid-19 pandemic is fought by our health care workers, we can do our bit by limiting our exposure to the virus by staying indoors, social distancing, eating healthy, hydrating, and following basic hygiene protocol.
