How To Improve Immunity?

Posted on Mon, 3 Nov 2014

Question: Doc, am a 33 yr male. My problem is I fall down ill too frequently mostly once in 3 months. Mostly its viral fever. Now I am recovering from a typhoid fever. One info I got from my mom is that I was breast fed only for 3 months when I was a baby. My daily diet consists mostly of carbs & some vegetables. I am not a regular fruit eater & I don't eat meat or fish as I am an vegetarian. Also I don't have an regular exercise regimen. Am a tee-totaller too. Pls tell me what & how should I eat in order to boost up my immunity power. And any other steps that I should follow.

Hello
Welcome to Healthcare Magic

I have gone through your history and understand your concern.

As you are recovering from typhoid fever you can boost up your immunity by taking multivitamin capsule for atleast 30 days.

You can boost up your immunity by consuming diet rich in proteins like pulses as you are a vegetarian. You should consume dty fruits, figo fruits and fruits like apple regularly.

Regarding exercise you have to do atleast 30 mins for atleast 5 days a week. This also helps to boost up your immunity by releasing endorphins.
Thank you.

You can take fruit juice twice daily. You can take 100ml twice daily.

Regarding the nuts you can take small amount of cashew and almond on alternate days.

You can take any fruits as this will reduce the free radicals in the body and helps to boost up the immunity.

Thank you.
