Orange: The pandemic's biggest mystery is our very own immune system and what better than an orange could help us save the day. Loaded with the goodness of vitamin C and folate, orange makes for a perfect dose of daily nutrition, certainly not the one that you should miss!

Pomegranat­es: Pomegranat­e is high on vitamin C, A& E, with ruby red seeds that match the colour of your blood. Did you know that 100 gm of pomegranat­e contains 0.3 mg of iron? This ironrich fruit is one of the most common recommenda­tions for fighting anaemia (iron deficiency).

Banana: The fruit that's never out of vogue. Easiest to find, sweetest to taste, apart from all the good that it does to your body, bananas are widely referred to as the 'superfruit' high in potassium, vitamin B6 & folate help in maintainin­g a healthy blood glucose level.

Apples: An apple a day keep the doctor away! A delicious source of iron and suitable when it comes to giving your low haemoglobi­n levels a boost.

Strawberri­es: Strawberri­es are rich in iron and vitamin C (helps in the absorption of Iron).

While all kinds of vegetables and fruits are equally essential for nutrients, you can start with these for their sweet-snacky nature. It's time to give up on all that junk food and turn to a nutritious, yet tasty diet. The only way to achieve a healthy body and mind is to tread the path of good nutrition.
