We had an information interaction with Mrs Subha Ramesh on how we can boost immunity during ongoing lockdown period and beyond. Most of the suggestions of Mrs Ramesh must be followed during normal course of life, not merely during lockdown

Here is an excerpt of what she spoke:

Food and lifestyle are primary way of boosting immunity. Food can be divided into food groups and the suggestions on intake from each group is as:

1. Cereals: Have cereals like Ragi, millets, corn, rice or wheat but void maida etc

2. Legumes/Pulses: That’s should be made part of lunch, Dinner and snacks

3. Mil Product: Avoid full cream, have skimmed milk. Have Paneer

4. Animal Product: Avoid red meat. Avoid deep fried or shallow fried.

5. Leafy vegetables: good source of minerals and fibres. Take according to your age

6. Fruits: All fruits are good to be had on daily basis. People with diseases like BP, Kidney disease, should have food as pr prescription

7. Dry fruits: In limited quantity. May avoid Cashew
