В этой книге на протяжении семнадцати глав, написанных выдающимися авторами, рассматриваются некоторые виды лечебно-профилактического питания или пищевые ингредиенты, механизм их иммуностимулирующих свойств и использование в продуктах питания. Существует несколько лекарственных растений, которые имеют значительную роль в повышении иммунитета, таких как ашвагандга, туласи, шатавари, гилой, алоэ вера, амла, ним, солодка, чеснок, имбирь, куркума, розмарин, черный тмин, корица, шалфей, тимьян, пажитник (шамбала), мята перечная, черный перец, гвоздика и т.д.

Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) protein acts as receptor for virus’s spike protein and gives provision for infection of our body. The ingredients which contain ACE inhibitory peptides, protect to produce ACE2 in our body. COVID-19 has been shown to engage thehost cell ACE2 through its spike protein. It was noticed that specific compound of different medicinal plants detaches the binding interface of ACE2.

We have to keep in mind that prevention is better than cure, even less expensive. In this direction functional foods may protect our life from the severity of this disease after attack. People have to aware about these functional foods. More researches have to be conducted on the effect of these functional foods against this disease. I hope the book will be helpful to common people and health professionals as well as scientists, teachers, scholars and students.
