How Can We Improve Our Immunity Through Ayurveda?

Tinku K asked: Jai Guru Datta, Guruji! I have heard from experts that if a person has a good immune system, the chance of such a person getting infected by the coronavirus is very low. Guruji, could You please suggest to us how we could improve our immune system through different foods, as per Ayurveda?

Swami replied: Whatever was suggested in Ayurveda is also suggested by modern medical science. Both medical systems analyze the effects of food on the body. Patients who have high blood sugar should avoid carbohydrates and overweight people should avoid fats. One should choose to eat food that is amicable to one’s health (hitam), which is unspoiled and free of harmful bacteria (hutam) and that which is not excess in amount (mitam). You should eat freshly cooked food so that it does not get spoilt due to harmful bacteria (Yātayāmaṃ...—Gita). Along with good food, controlling the amount of travel is also necessary (Yuktāhāra vihārasya...—Gita). With this, one can develop good health and immunity.
