The Immune System Support Diet

[YojanaFitbit]

Have you changed your diet during this difficult times?

The World Health Organization has announced dietary guidelines during the respiratory illnesses outbreak that stressed the “importance of a balanced diet to maintain a strong immune system,” and includes the recommendation to consume 4 servings of fruits and 5 servings of veggies every day.

Foods in the immune-supporting space are everything high in Vitamin C (from grapefruits to broccoli) and Vitamin E (from nuts to avocados). Other on-trend foods for fighting respiratory issues are elderberries, green tea (high in antioxidants), Vitamin D (from the sun or from food, like eggs) and garlic.

Are you consuming any of this?

🤔...very similar to the Keto diet, no?

I didn't plan on changing my diet during the pandemic, but it happened anyway. I started buying food at a natural foods co-op. It's smaller and less busy than the supermarket and I feel more comfortable shopping there and avoiding the crowds.

Of course, their products are a lot different and there are all kinds of new things for me to try. Now, I'm eating a lot more fruits and vegetables than I was and eating a much greater variety, in general. It's been interesting and it's nice to feel like I'm doing something proactive for my health.

Exactly @alexthecat, I also think it's best to do changes proactively in your life to improve health and wellness. That happened for me too, before all this chaos started I decided to start consuming more fruits and vegetables. Then I discover a lot of way to cook salads and all types of green food, you know spinach, leaf lettuce, collard greens, celery, broccoli... etc. As you said we have a lot of options. I'm glad that more and more people are changing their old diets into a healthiest choice. Thank you for sharing your experience about this. 🤗🥘
