COVID-19 is a ghastly Pandemic declared by the WHO worldwide. Our lives have been completely disturbed and obstructed. We all are staying indoors, and the working professionals are completely observing work from home.

Staying at home might seem to ease your lives initially, but it has a major drawback on your lifestyle. Amidst the lockdown, we need to catch up with our metabolism and maintain good health.

A sedentary lifestyle often leads to weight gain, digestive disorders and slows down our metabolism considerably. It is very important to keep your health intact and boost your immunity to fight against any infection.

Here’s what you should try consuming while staying at home:

  • Vitamin C rich foods:Vitamin C boosts your immunity and also makes your skin glowing & supple. Try including citrus foods in your diet like sweet lime, Oranges and lemons. A glass of “shikanji” or “Nimbu Paani” consumed during the afternoon after your meals can improve your digestion.
