The most common signs of COVID-19 infection are cough, fever and respiratory symptoms like shortness of breath and other respiration difficulties. You can save yourself from the epidemic like coronavirus outbreak (COVID-19) by adding some of THIS specific food in your everyday diet.
Below is the list of some powerful anti-viral food that builds your immune system and prevents from coronavirus.
Many people take citrus fruits when they have caught up by cough and cold. Because citrus fruits are rich in vitamin C and vitamin C promotes the healthy functioning of the immune system.

Broccoli has to be a great source of
plant based protein. This veggie is immense in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. THIS is the vegan food that has all three types of antioxidants which prevent the cellular damage in your body and boost immunity. This veggie is also rich in proteins.
Garlic has built a reputation from ages for boosting immune properties. Garlic is full of antibacterial, antiviral and anti-fungal properties. THIS properties are helpful in reducing the severity of a seasonal cold, flu or even COVID-19. According to
NCCIH (National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health), garlic may be helpful for high blood pressure patients but the pieces of evidence are not enough to prove.
Ginger is another ingredient that treats you when getting sick. Ginger has anti-inflammatory properties that help to rescue sore throat and cold. As inflammation affects the body’s immune system, anti-inflammatory ginger can play a major role in boosting immunity.

We all know that protein is a basic requirement of the healthy body. But in the current scenario, going with animal proteins is a foolish decision. To fulfill your body’s protein needs you must try

The last in my list but not the least. Turmeric is an ancient herb which has been used in India for thousands of years as a spice and medicinal herb. Now, science also proved what Indians have belief in turmeric – it really contains compounds with medicinal properties. These compounds are known as curcuminoids, in which most important is curcumins. THIS curcumin is the most active ingredient in turmeric, which has powerful antioxidants and strong anti-inflammatory effects. Turmeric is commonly used to treat conditions involving pain and inflammation like osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and muscle pain due to heavy exercise. It has also fruitful effects on diseases such as hay fever, depression, diabetes, high cholesterol, heart disease, brain disease, Alzheimer’s, cancer, viral infections even COVID-19.
