Dear Komal
Our office has opened and I am travelling by public transport to work.
I am diabetic, have cholesterol and on medication for both.
I am doing sanitising and wearing mask. It is impossible to do social distancing.
I am the sole earner for my family and I don’t want to catch COVID.
How can I do to improve immunity?
My height: 5’7”; weight: 101 kg; age 48 years.
Thank you.

Ans: Your profile indicates that you are overweight.
To increase immunity, focus on losing fat percentage by refraining from high fat and sugar food, juices, hard or soft drinks, fast foods etc.
You must get your blood sugar levels under control as uncontrolled diabetes is a prime reason of low immunity.
Avoid refined food products and sweets and incorporate a daily exercise schedule.
Eat high fibre foods to increase gut health and reduce the glycaemic index.
Refrain from indulging in fried foods and oily foods to reduce your cholesterol level.
Follow a daily exercise schedule to increase metabolic rate and strength.
