The best diet to follow during COVID-19

 An increasing speculation on the possibility of a future third wave of COVID-19 nfection is no secret and its plausibility is posing a burden on the healthcare system. A study published in the Indian Journal of Medical Research revealed that a new variant that is more transmissible and at the same time capable of escaping prior immunity could be responsible for a third wave of coronavirus but it seems unlikely to be as severe as the second Covid-19 wave.

With short term immunity and wellness goals going for a toss, health experts assert that one needs to train the body and mind to crave healthy food especially with the third wave knocking our door steps which makes it really important to incorporate the right kind of food and follow healthy habits. Miten Kakaiya, fitness coach and founder of Miten Says Fitness along with Karan Sethi Chopra, Certified Personal Trainer and Founder of The Iron Hub Gym and Preety Tyagi, Lead Health Coach, Nutritionist and Founder of MY22BMI spill the beans on what diet to follow to be fit during the Covid-19 third wave and the healthy changes to make gradually in our diet to prepare us for fighting any illnesses or diseases that may arise in the future.

The trio stressed that since Covid-19 is widespread now with other more contagious variants, the best diet to follow during the pandemic's third phase will be a diet that can keep us healthy from within and boost our immunity at the same time. This is because the higher a person’s immunity, greater remains their chances to prevent and fight any ailments or infections that can be present in the environment.
