1. DIET TO BOOST
IMMUNITY FOR
ELDERLY PEOPLE

2. COVID-19 has turned the world upside down and we
have been put in a very dire situation. Everyone is
scared of quarantine and self-isolation as it is imperative
we do that today, based on the current situation.
It is a known fact that this infection is more dangerous
to the elderly than to others. Senior citizens are at a high
risk of contracting the virus and the chances of it turning
fatal are bigger for them

3. The reason behind this is that the elderly have lower
immunity levels than the rest of the population. Serious
health concerns like diabetes, heart disease etc can
increase the chances of the virus impacting them in a
fatal way as these underlying conditions can reduce the
immunity.
There are certain foods that elders can include in their
daily diets to increase their immunity levels.

4. 1. Citrus Fruits And Vegetables
Citrus fruits are filled with Vitamin C and are great for
boosting immunity in the elderly. These help fight the
infection. Make sure to include lemons, limes, oranges
and other citrus fruits along with the daily intake.
Vegetables like spinach, brinjal and cauliflower are also
known to have lots to Vitamin C in them.

5. 2. Superfoods
Superfoods like broccoli, kale and mushrooms can
rapidly help improve the immunity levels. Also include
berries that are rich in omega 3 fatty acids. Beans, nuts
and flax seeds are also a great addition to the diet.

6. 3. Stay Hydrated
See to it that you drink at least 8-9 glasses of water per
day. It will help keep your mucus membrane moist while
protecting you from contracting the virus easily. Soup,
green tea, milk and even fruit juices can help you keep
hydrated while being a tasty treat.

7. 4. Herbs and Roots
Certain herbs like tulsi or the Indian basil and roots like
ginger can help in soothing the throat while improving
your immunity levels. Take this as a tea or include them
by adding it to your daily meals.
