Due to constant rain, waterlogging, and floods this year, dengue cases have been rising exponentially throughout the nation. It’s crucial to develop immunity to the illness by engaging in regular exercise, getting enough sleep, and adhering to a healthy diet. To keep healthy and stave off illnesses, experts advise eating seasonal fruits and vegetables, getting enough fluids, nuts, proteins, and vitamins. Additionally, sugary beverages, fast food, fried, baked, and processed foods should be avoided.
The following food groups should be included in the diet plan during this season and in dengue to strengthen immunity and stave against infections:
• Liquids
To strengthen your immune system, drink plenty of liquids, especially potable water. You should also eat plenty of warm concoctions like herbal teas, broths, and soups. Cold drinks like lemon water, buttermilk or lassie, coconut water, etc. are also healthy in addition to these heated liquids. These hydrated beverages keep electrolyte balance, cleanse the body, and are crucial for developing a strong immune system.
• Produce
The rising demand for minerals like vitamins A and C, antioxidants, and fiber is supported by including seasonal fruits including jamun, pears, plums, cherries, peaches, papaya, apples, and pomegranates. These fruits help to maintain healthy gut flora, aid in better digestion, and stimulate the immune system.
• Produces
Vegetables that are in season and come in a variety of colors should be a regular component of your diet to support immune function and a healthy gut. Different vitamins, such as Vitamin A and C, as well as minerals, such as Zinc and Magnesium, are present in different colored vegetables. These nutrients act as good antioxidants and boost immunity.
• Spices
Spices and herbs with anti-inflammatory, antifungal, antiviral, antimicrobial, antibacterial, and immune-boosting properties include turmeric, ginger, garlic, pepper, cinnamon, cardamom, and nutmeg. By controlling immune cells like T-cells, which aid the body in fending off viruses, they perform remarkably well to strengthen the immune system. In this weather, add these spices liberally to your daily dishes to improve your general health.
• Nuts
Proteins, good fats, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants are abundant in nuts and seeds. The basic building blocks of the body are proteins and amino acids, which also support the health of the GI tract and immune system. By stimulating immune cell activity, increasing the number of immune cells, and producing antibodies, they boost immunological functions.
• Probiotics
Choose yogurt, buttermilk, cheese kefir, kombucha, and soybeans to add probiotics to your diet. Good bacteria found in probiotics operate on our digestive systems and increase immunity.
