Covid 19 the epidemic which led to millions of deaths, also made us realised how abused our bodies are with each passing day we live on this earth.
Our ‘lives on the go’, has made sure our immunity levels are low, our resistance to diseases is nearly negligible.

In addition, the pandemic has also revealed deep inequalities in society, among the richer and poorer nations, which made the need to have a healthy lifestyle and better immunity with more relevant than ever.
