Secondly, increase your intake of foods rich in vitamin C like amla (gooseberry), lemons, tomatoes, and oranges. Avoid cold beverages as much as possible. Use green tea and other foods with anti-oxidant properties.
Thirdly, handle produce like fresh vegetables and fruits carefully. Soak the produce in water with some baking soda for one hour. Then dry and store in the refrigerator. Cook the veggies well and if you do eat raw veggies then make sure they are washed multiple times and handled safely.

Men and women are equally responsible for keeping the home a safe and peaceful haven in these days of global crisis. The woman in the home is working overtime and taking care of all family members. The men must set aside their ego and safeguard your precious relationships. Work with the spirit of oneness. Second last and very essential point is to take extra care of the seniors at home.
