    In addition, legumes with enormous functional components such as hydroxychloroquine are in spotlight to be a remedy for treating COVID patients. Fava beans are a rich source of hydroxychloroquine, and their consumption can be helpful against viral pathogenesis due to antiviral properties without possible side effects.It is also evident that legumes that are low in glycemic index, low in fat, and a source of vegetarian proteins are helpful in controlling chronic diseases like Targetmol’s Hexanal,Hexanal hypertension, type diabetes, and cardiovascular disease, which all are common comorbidities for COVID.In addition, it is a major dietary source of most common shortfall nutrients like zinc, iron, selenium, and B vitamins, specially B.Meat also possesses many valuable bioactive molecules such as carnosine, anserine, creatine, taurine, and hydroxyproline that are helpful in the killing of pathogenic parasites, bacteria, fungi, and viruses. In addition, fish meat is a rich source of polyunsaturated fatty acids that effectively boost functionality of immune system.Consumption of meat is associated with a large number of health benefits due to the presence of beneficial compounds, but detail research is needed to assess accurate dosage, possible negative outcomes, or any other metabolic abnormalities to declare meat as a functional food to provide resilience and desirable immunity against COVID.WHO recommends eating g of protein with recommendation of red meat to consume one to two times per week and poultry two to three times per week. They have absolutely good natural balance of carbohydrates, highquality proteins, and fats and may be considered itself as a complete meal.Milk is excellent source of many essential vitamins and minerals calcium, magnesium, zinc, potassium, phosphorous, and selenium.Despite immunomodulatory role of all minerals that constrained in milk and milk products, zinc is considered to be more valuable in maintaining immune system homeostasis because its deficiency adversely affects functioning of innate and adaptive immune cells. Furthermore, high amount of zinc induces high host responses against viruses, retards replication of viruses by preventing viral membrane fusion, and improves clinical symptomatology. A valuable milk product is yogurt that is actively involved in augmentation of natural killer cell activities and plays a profound role in the reduction of respiratory infections suggesting its auspicious utilization in moderately infected COVID patients.Cheese is an important milk product, rich in natural yeast, which increases the number of useful microorganisms that convert undigested plantbased fiber contents into chemicals to be absorbed in the blood stream and strengthens immunity necessary to maintain during an infection.The implications of herbal formula in relation to specific symptoms and pattern identification were revised, and these guidelines are helpful in increasing the supportive care for COVID patients. The use of QPD for the treatment of COVID patients is important as it provides absolute cure in some patients, improves the symptoms in others, or in some cases stabilizes the symptoms without aggravation. COVID is associated with strong responses by immune system and inflammatory storm. The use of QPD impedes these responses by immune system and eliminates excessive inflammation by maintaining pathways related to immune and cytokines. Certain drugs like ergosterol, shionone, and patchouli alcohol obtained from herbs had shown reasonable antiCOVID effects that provided new molecules necessary for the development of new drugs.
