What to Eat in a Pandemic

This current pandemic has proved to test our mental, emotional, and physical mettle. As a practicing family physician, I receive a lot of questions about how to improve immunity and what kinds of foods to eat or what kind of supplements I should take. Our current data suggest that the Covid-19 virus is affecting people who are chronically ill and the elderly. Examples would be those who have immunocompromised, diabetes, obesity, and chronic respiratory illnesses. At the same time, we’re all facing Covid-19, there’s another war going on. That war is trying to protect our health. What does it mean to be healthy? What does it mean to practice wellness? I would argue that health IS wealth.
