Important Points – Before we start the tips to increase self immunity, you must follow these things.

Avoid crowded places. Avoid close contact with people who are sick. Maintain a 1 to 3-meter social distance. The main reason for its spread is the human-to-human transmission.
Wash your hands frequently and avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth. Rub the soap for at least 20 seconds.
Use an alcohol-based sanitizer to disinfect your hands.
Cover your mouth whenever you cough and sneeze.
Wear a face mask because the virus enters the body through the mouth and nose.
Self-isolation is important if you are feeling sick.
Get information about coronavirus from standard sources. Follow the WHO guidelines

Nutrition Rich Diet

Our diet has a strong impact on our self immunity. A nutrition-rich diet gives the essential vitamins and minerals to our body. You should add immunity-supporting food like citrus fruits, garlic, tomato, ginger, apple, broccoli, cabbage, leafy vegetables, etc. in your diet. Vitamin C, Vitamin D, and Vitamin B are very important to increase the immunity of the body.

Regular Exercise

Exercise helps to keep toxins out of your body through sweat. Make sure you do basic exercise regularly. Exercise makes the body flexible and increases blood circulation. Regular exercise reduces the risk of many chronic diseases. 30 minutes walk is essential to maintain good health.

Stay Hydrated

Drink 8 to 10 glasses of water a day. Hydration lowers the chances of flu. Water helps the immune system to work at full force. It removes the toxins out of the body and makes you healthy.

Avoid Smoking and Drinking Alcohol

Smoking affects the lungs and weakens the respiratory system. A person with a weak respiratory system has a higher chance of getting affected by a coronavirus. Excessive alcohol consumption is injurious to health. It causes dehydration in the body and leads to pneumonia. Leave these habits and increase self immunity.

Proper Sleep

Poor sleep also adversely affects T cells that are responsible for fighting off diseases. Poor sleep makes the body tired and decreases brain activity. You should get 7 to 9 hours of sleep daily. Proper sleep also keeps your mind active and your body energetic.

Reduce Stress

Stress is bad for the immune system. When we are stressed out then our body also produces stress hormone that is harmful to our body. You can also manage your stress by doing meditation, yoga, and listening to relaxing music. Regular meditation also helps you to manage stress and keeps you relaxed.

In the current situation when there is no sure shot treatment for COVID discovered yet, self immunity is also the only way to get protection. These tips will not give protection from coronavirus but also prevent other diseases. If you are experiencing the symptoms of coronavirus, then you should consult the doctor. You should not self-diagnose and go to the testing facility. Currently, COVID testing is available in government hospitals and in some private centers.
