Protein week 2020: Focus on nutrition to boost immunity (Prokerala)

July 24, 2020


Prokerala published an article stating that ‘immunity’ has replaced weight loss as the new ‘It’ word;  what to eat to keep immunity levels high. To get a tough immune system, we need to follow a few lifestyle course corrections like ensuring you get enough sleep, exercising regularly, keeping stress in check and eating the right foods that provide macro and micronutrients. According to a recent IFPRI and A4NH study across all strata of society, Indians have excess consumption of cereals but not enough proteins, fruits, and vegetables in their diets, and thus on the nutrition front Indian diets are below optimal. Also published in Daily Hunt (India), Newsd IndiaDaijiworld (India)), New Kerala.comNews Gram (India), TFI Post (India).
