This review focused on the use of plant-based foods for enhancing the immunity of
all aged groups against COVID-19. In humans, coronaviruses are included in the
spectrum of viruses that cause the common cold and, recently, severe acute
respiratory syndrome (SARS). Emerging infectious diseases, such as SARS present a
major threat to public health. The novel coronavirus has spread rapidly to
multiple countries and has been declared a pandemic by the World Health
Organization. COVID-19 is usually caused a virus to which most probably the
people with low immunity response are being affected. Plant-based foods increased
the intestinal beneficial bacteria which are helpful and make up of 85% of the
immune system. By the use of plenty of water, minerals like magnesium and Zinc,
micronutrients, herbs, food rich in vitamins C, D and E, and better life style
one can promote the health and can overcome this infection. Various studies
investigated that a powerful antioxidant glutathione and a bioflavonoid quercetin
may prevent various infections including COVID-19. In conclusion, the plant-based
foods play a vital role to enhance the immunity of people to control of COVID-19.
