Abstract : COVID-19 causes problems like cytokine release syndrome or cytokine storm and the
infection triggers the immune system to flood bloodstream with inflammatory proteins called
cytokines. It kills tissue and damage organs. The only sustainable way to survive from the
current situation is to strengthen the immune system. An adequate intake of zinc, iron, and
vitamins A, B 12, B6, C, and E is essential for the maintenance of a good immune function. A
balanced diet will guarantee a strong immune system that can help to withstand the effect of
a viral attack.
