Given your poor energy levels, frequent illnesses, and vitamin D insufficiency, you should focus on a well-balanced vegetarian diet that promotes immunity, increases energy, and fills nutritional gaps. I can give you general tips on what immunity boosting foods to include in your diet. But it’s difficult to give you an exact diet plan as there are many factors which I as a qualified dietitian need to know before planning a diet plan like your height, weight, body composition, medical history if any, your daily schedule, food preferences, types of food availability, etc. To get a better clarity and to guide you for good health you can come and meet me in-person at our clinic in Santacruz, Mumbai or can book an online consultation with me, chief dietitian Arati Shah at Café Nurition. List of some immunity boosting foods - 1. Ginger and garlic 2. Citrus fruits 3. Leafy greens 4. Bell pepper 5. Nuts and oilseeds 6. Turmeric 7. Berries 8. Green tea 9. Yellow orange fruits and vegetables

Start your day with a glass of warm water with lemon and honey, followed by soaked almonds and walnuts for warmth and energy. For breakfast, have methi or aloo paratha and curd. Add a banana or a small bowl of seasonal fruits like guava or papaya. Mid-morning, take a handful of roasted peanuts or sesame seeds with a glass of warm milk. Add dates or figs for energy and warmth. For lunch, include 2-3 bajra or makki rotis , sarson ka saag or palak paneer, a bowl of curd, and a fresh salad with grated carrots and radish. In the evening, eat roasted makhana with black pepper or boiled sweet potato with lemon and spices. Pair this with a cup of herbal tea or tulsi-ginger tea. For dinner, have a bowl of vegetable soup, 2 jowar or bajra rotis with a light vegetable curry like lauki or tinda, and a small portion of dal. Add a small bowl of curd if it suits you in winters. Before bed, drink a glass of warm milk with turmeric and a pinch of black pepper. Add jaggery or a handful of dried fruits like dates or raisins. Include foods like gond laddoos, til ladoos, or gajar halwa in moderation to keep warm and provide energy. Avoid cold and raw foods; focus on warm, cooked meals with spices like ginger, turmeric, and cinnamon to boost immunity. Stay hydrated with warm fluids like soups, herbal teas, and warm water throughout the day. Spend some time (15-20 mins) in sunlight daily for vitamin D and overall health.
