With the epicentre in China, the fast-spreading virus has spread to over a dozen countries in the last month, including India. While there are many means of safeguarding measures being propagated to control the spread of the virus, one of the most important factors in protecting yourself from Coronavirus and other such epidemics is to boost your immunity and maintain optimum health.

If our immune system is compromised, it makes our body susceptible to cases of flu, colds and other diseases.
