Awareness Among Girls Regarding Immunity Management Proposed by The Ministry of Ayush During Covid-19
The COVID-19 pandemic emphasized the importance of a strong immune system. Governments across the world, including India, sought preventive solutions through traditional remedies. In India, the Ministry of AYUSH issued immunity-boosting dietary guidelines based on Ayurveda and other traditional systems. This article presents an analytical study on the awareness of adolescent, undergraduate, and postgraduate girls regarding AYUSH-recommended dietary management during COVID-19. It explores their knowledge, consumption habits, sources of information, and understanding of the preparation and quantity of proposed food items. The findings reveal that although many girls consumed AYUSH-recommended foods, awareness regarding their correct usage was limited. The study calls for structured awareness campaigns and educational programs to promote informed health behavior among young women.
