Effect of covid-19 on our dietary pattern

 

The world is experiencing a groundbreaking challenge due to COVID-19 pandemic.

Indeed, the outbreak of corona has led people to think more about their health,

lifestyle, immunity and "DIET". Eating healthy food plays a vital role during this

pandemic. What we eat and drink can affect our body's ability to prevent, fight and

recover.

While no food can prevent or cure COVID-19 infection thus healthy food is important

for our immune system. Inorder to eat healthy food, always remember the WHO's five

keys to safer food

1. Keep clean

2. Separate raw and cooked

3. Cook thoroughly

4. Keep food at safe temperatures

5. Use safe water and raw materials

Nowadays, people tend to choose certain supplements in order to make their

immunity stronger.

● Switching to decoction (kaadha) from tea

● Avoiding cold, chilling items like soft drinks and icecreams

● Turmeric milk at nights

● Immunity booster syrups

● Cooking food on their own

● Avoiding packaged and fast foods

● Intakes of unsaturated fats

● Hydrating oneself with water

● Avoiding meat and poultry

Evidently, this pandemic has made us realise that "it is the health that is the real

wealth".
