If we do catch COVID-19, our immune system is responsible for fighting it Improving nutrition helps support optimal immune function

Micronutrients essential to fight infection include vitamins A, B, C, D, and E, and the minerals (iron, selenium and zinc)

Vitamin A to help make antibodies which neutralize the pathogens that cause infection. (This is like assigning more of your team to target an opposition player who has the ball, to prevent them scoring)
Vitamin A Egg yolks, cheese, tofu, nuts, seeds, yellow and orange fruits, dark green leafy vegetables
B vitamins
B vitamins, particularly B6, B9 and B12, contribute to your body’s first response once it has recognized a pathogen also known as natural killer
B6 (pyridoxine) Cereals, legumes, green leafy vegetables, fruit, nuts, fish, chicken and meat
B9 (Folate) Green leafy vegetables, legumes, nuts and seeds
B12 (cobalamin) Eggs, meat and dairy, and also in fortified soy milk
Vitamins C and E
When your body is fighting an infection, it experiences what’s called oxidative stress. Oxidative stress leads to the production of free radicals
Vitamin C and vitamin E help protect cells from oxidative stress
Vitamin C Oranges, lemons, limes, berries, kiwifruit, broccoli, tomatoes and capsicum
Vitamin E Nuts, green leafy vegetables and vegetables oils
Vitamin D
Some immune cells need vitamin D to help destroy pathogens that cause infection
Vitamin D rich source is sunlight
Iron, zinc, selenium
We need iron, zinc and selenium for immune cell growth, among other functions
Iron helps kill pathogens by increasing the number of free radicals that can destroy them
It also regulates enzyme reactions essential for immune cells to recognize and target pathogens
Iron meat, chicken and fish
Zinc seafood, meat, chicken, dried beans and nuts

Let’s learn how to calculate ideal body wt

Height- 164 cm( height in cm)
Weight - 53 kg ( present body wt )

Ideal body wt- height(cm)-100*0.9
=164-100*0.9
=58 kg

BMI Kg/m2
=53/2.6
=20

Sedentary work =30* body weight
=30*53kg
=1590(1600) kilocalories

I have normal Body Mass Index so I calculate diet for 53 kg

If you are under weight or overweight you can calculate energy (kilocalories)on the basis of =ideal body wt*sedentary work

Let’s discuss about Probiotic food and Prebiotic food

What Are Prebiotics and What Do They Do?

Prebiotics are naturally occurring, non-digestible food components that are linked to promoting the growth of helpful bacteria in your gut. Simply said, they're "good" bacteria promoters. That's right, not all bacteria are bad! Prebiotics may improve gastrointestinal health as well as potentially enhance calcium absorption.

Prebiotics in Your Diet

Prebiotics include fructooligosaccharides, such as inulin and galactooligosaccharides. But rather than focusing on these lengthy words, include more prebiotics in your day by eating more fruits, vegetables and whole grains such as bananas, onions, garlic, leeks, asparagus, artichokes, beans and whole-grain foods

What Are Probiotics and What Do They Do?

Probiotics are the "good" bacteria — or live cultures — like those naturally found in your gut. These active cultures help change or repopulate intestinal bacteria to balance gut flora. This functional component may boost immunity and overall health, especially GI health. For instance, probiotics have been used for management of irritable bowel syndrome symptoms.

Probiotics in Your Diet

To include more probiotics in your eating plan, look to fermented dairy foods including yogurt, kefir products and aged cheeses, which contain live cultures such as bifidobacteria and lactobacilli. Also consider fermented, non-dairy foods with beneficial live cultures, including kimchi, sauerkraut, miso, tempeh and cultured non-dairy yogurts.
