the coronavirus crisis, so the body is in dire need to eat foods rich
in nutrients to strengthen immunity and stay away from unhelpful products that
lead to a deterioration of health and weight gain.

1- Dried fruits
Dried fruits are some of the snacks
that some eat or are added to oats or others, but they contain a large amount
of sugar and sulfur, and then raise the level of sugar in the blood and
increase the severity of infections in the body, which makes the immune unable
to cope with infection and diseases.
2- Fruit yogurt
Yogurt contains probiotics that
improve intestinal functioning, but canned yogurt sweetened with sugar and
fruits gives the body an additional 20 grams of sugars, which affect the
efficiency of the immune system.
3- Soy milk
Soy milk is not one of the best options for obtaining calcium and nutrients as some think, as one cup contains a high percentage of sugars, which is harmful to the health of the body.

5- Fried potato
Fried potato chips do not contain fiber and antioxidants such as those in boiled potatoes, but rather contain sodium and fats, and the percentage of nutrients in them decreases, which reduces the body's ability to deal with epidemics and infection.
Always remember: A healthy
lifestyle, not smoking, drinking little or no alcohol, sleeping
well, eating a balanced diet, taking regular moderate exercise and reducing
stress helps our immune systems to be in the best shape possible to tackle
pathogens.
