Covid-19 pandemic is of greater concern to those having a weak immune system and in search of ways to strengthen it, more and more people are resorting to organic produce.
“People who consume organic vegetables develop better immunity in the long run, making them less susceptible to several diseases, including cancer,” says Tina Sapra, a Gurugram-based nutritionist.
Heeding to experts, many have adopted the practice of growing organic vegetables. “My mother has a weak immune system as she is a cancer patient, and the oncologist suggested an organic diet to build immunity,” says Manoj Kapoor, a Delhi resident.
The trend is also making inroads among citizens looking for healthier food choices. Entrepreneur Shikha Vatsa, who has moved from growing vegetables in her backyard to full-fledged farmlands, says, “What started as a hobby has now turned large scale. We’re now growing our own vegetables.”
The shift to organic farming comes as a saviour for people struggling with diseases. “Organic food reduces inflammation in the body which helps with autoimmunity problems,” says Rajeshwari Prakash, co-owner of a Gurugram-based organic company.
