Adding that, Ghana has been so blessed that most of our foods such as oranges, kontomire, millet, cashew nuts, crabs, plantain, okro, dawadawa, brown rice, and mushroom can boost our immune systems and help fight the virus and other diseases hence he advised that we eat such foods.
He also added that we will continue to practice social distancing protocols in order to help curb the spread of the disease as it’s one of the safest measures which will help the virus not to spread easily and fast.
We have to improve our hygiene, our fitness, and exercise, our eating, generally, our style of living, which will boost our immunity to disease and the virus. We are told that the key vitamins that fortify our immune system are vitamins A, B6, C, and E. Fortunately for us, in Ghana, all of these can be found in many of our foods, such as oranges, kontomire, millet, cashew nuts, crabs, plantain, okro, dawadawa, brown rice, and mushrooms.
