Abstract

 Coronavirus illness 2019 is a contagious disease that has become pandemic after rapidly spreading around the world. Diet is a key factor of happiness. The prevalence of coronavirus disease and the illnesses associated with it Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome 2 is caused by the Coronavirus Virus (COVID-19) and can be treated with a healthy diet. Data was gathered using Google Scholar, Medline, Embase, Science Direct and books from studies conducted between 2020 and 2021. Many studies have indicated that eating a nutrient-dense diet and making wise food choices can aid in the development of adaptive immunity. Improvement of micronutrient deficiencies in current COVID-19 infections may promote the immune response to infection in individuals at greatest risk. Supplementation with vitamins D and C, as well as selenium and zinc, has been proven to be potentially beneficial for persons suffering from or at risk of developing respiratory virus diseases, as well as those suffering from nutritional deficiencies. A healthy diet of iron, zinc, and vitamins B12, B6, A, and E is essential for immune function maintenance. Therefore, the aim of this study is to promote healthy eating pattern, a better lifestyle, maintaining a healthy weight, getting adequate sleep, and exercising in their spare time during the COVID-19 pandemic.
