Immunity Boosters: Myth vs. Reality? Experts Debunk Turmeric Milk, Juices, Supplements
- •Immunity is a complex network, not a switch; depends on genetics, age, and overall health, says Dr. Yogesh Bhalecha, Medanta Hospital.
- •Food or supplements can support the immune system but don't 'boost' it beyond its natural capacity.
- •Turmeric milk and 'immunity juices' offer general health benefits but no direct illness prevention or immune cell production.
- •Vitamin supplements (C, D, zinc) are only beneficial if deficient; excessive intake can cause harm.
- •Consistent healthy habits like 7-8 hours of sleep, balanced diet, stress management, and vaccination are the most effective ways to maintain a healthy immune system.
