In the projects that Plus have managed, there is a "Backyard garden" that grows vegetables and fruits with the care of the corporate division to pass the produce on to the residents to eat, including kale, chili, strawberry, melon, radish, salad, etc.



In addition to fresh produce, the project's corporate department also brings fruits and vegetables for processing and cooking such as Melon Smoothie, Mango Sticky Rice, Sandwiches, spicy tomato dips etc. to the villagers. We do this because of concern for the residents health. We want our villagers to be healthy and have immunity that can prevent various diseases Including COVID-19 disease.

 

Things to avoid

In eating foods to strengthen the body's immune system, carbohydrates, sugar, milk, butter, cheese, sparkling water, alcohol, processed food (eg. instant noodles, bacon), frozen food, and dried fruit should all be avoided to improve the body's immune system. Since the method of producing these foods has changed the characteristics of food to be different from their natural form, such as freezing, pickling, preserving, all of these foods can suppress the immune system and allow viruses to grow.
