Immunomodulation Theraapy

Detailed Answer:
Dear
Thanks for reverting back and following is/are the recommended guidelines:

HEALTHY LIVING:

1. Anything you do, go low and go slow and make changes gradually, as your small changes become habit, you can continue to ADD more healthy choices.
2. Eat a variety of nutrient rich food but who have some added advantage like:
. Cabbage (cholesterol lowering benefits),
. carrot (helps in liver detoxification),
. cauliflower (ideal against abdominal problems),
. dates (best for muscle development),
. onions ( contains flavinoids which protect against cardiovascular disease),
. garlic ( has broad spectrum antibiotic properties)

i.      Daily regime (दिनचर्या):Don’t skip breakfast: Take your lunch between 12 -1 PM which is the peak period of Pitta (responsible for digestion) and have your dinner 2 hours before sleeping.
ii. Make sure you do not travel, do strenuous exercise, or indulge in sexual activities within one hour after meal
iii. It would be good if you cook some quick and healthy food and avoid taking junk/processed, easily available food from outside unless your job/occupation is of constant touring or mental/physical stress is more.
iv. Proper sleep with proper diet is the key to healthy living in Ayurveda.
v. Avoid smoking,alcohol,caffeine,eating late at night,stress,drink water instead of colas
vi. Practice Yoga, Meditation and go for an exercise regime..
vii. Walk a while after meal to help digestion
viii. Remember good food leads to noble thoughts with sound memory helping in mental health and social well being

IMMUNOMODULATION (Immunity)
Rasayana drugs (Rejuvenation/Immunomodulators) should be instituted in your management as part of XXXXXXX (palliative) therapy i.e. which corrects the dysfunction of tissues without disturbing the functions of normal tissues, also Rasayana drugs potentiates humoral antibodies, by increasing serum Immunoglobulin’s such as IgA,IgG and IgM.

i. Proteins are essential for antibodies production so milk, egg (white), beans, yogurt,soyamilk,pumpkin,squash,watermelon,peanuts,almonds, if non-vegetarian (meat) are choices
ii. Vitamin A: helps to maintain Thymus gland which is a powerful antiviral gland : thus XXXXXXX carrots,cantaloupe,egg yolk,apricots,pumpkin,papaya, are ideal
iii. Vitamin C: is needed for proper functioning of immune system: amla is best
iv. Vitamin E: is a powerful anti oxidant which helps to stimulate antibody production: peanuts, dried apricots, cooked spinach,taro root can be taken
v. Vitamin B is important for the activity of phagocytes: eggs, cheese, pistachio, raw garlic, sunflower and sesame oil.
vi. Ashwagandha,Mandukparni,Shatavari,Trikatu,Vacha,Guduchi,are best Immunomdulators, you can consult with an Ayurveda Physician about the same.

PS.
i. fruit(s) are considered to be carbohydrate because of their high sugar content; but they are not starch because of their high water content, i.e., the higher the water content in food the easier it is to digest and since digestion of fruits is/are rapid, it is possible to eat fruit before any other food, and time period of 5-10 minutes is good.
