The Nutrition Society of Nigeria (NSN), Lagos State Chapter, has urged Nigerians to always include fruits and vegetables in their diets to boost their immune system to fight Ebola Virus.

Dr Abimbola Ajayi, the Chairperson of the society, made the appeal at the commemoration of World Breastfeeding Week and inauguration of the Lagos State chapter on Friday.

Ajayi said that the virus attacked the immune system which provided defence to the human body.
“Since there is no known cure presently for the disease, the goal of nutrition care therefore, is to protect and boost the immunity among other care provided for affected persons.

“People must ensure that they take foods that are high antioxidants, majorly foods rich in vitamins and minerals in their daily meals.

“Take yellow fruits, red fruits and vegetables to boost immunity and fight Ebola Virus in the country,’’ she said.
