| description | Since 2019 the entire world is facing a crisis named as Coronavirus Disease-2019 (COVID-19). Within a short amount of time this
disease which started from a small place in China has transformed into a pandemic and claimed millions of lives worldwide. India
has witnessed the first and second wave of this infection with numerous variants of COVID-19, and an upsurge in infectivity rates
and mortality rates. COVID-19 is a pernicious infection caused by a recent variant of Coronavirus. There are several research
studies that have been carried out to understand it’s aetiology, pathophysiology, prevention and treatment strategies. As per the
ancient Indian wisdom- “Prevention is better than Cure.” Any kind of infection can be prevented by taking necessary precautions
and preventive measures against exposure to suspected environment and pathogen. A strengthened immune system further is able
to fight and curb the disease even if there is exposure to the virus or any other pathogen. Significant data is available to support the
need and importance of lifestyle modifications, particularly as mentioned in A–
yurvedic and Yogic scriptures for immunity boosting
in all age groups. The present review aims to provide a comprehensive, holistic and easy understanding of practical lifestyle
modifications that can boost an individual’s immunity and help mitigate infectious diseases like COVID-19. |
