The online fitness industry has seen a major boom since the COVID-19 outbreak, but is it here to stay? For brick and mortar gyms, franchises and boutique fitness studio’s, the damage has been devastating. 24 hour fitness is contemplating bankruptcy while Soul Cycle is now selling their bikes for $2,500 to compete with Peloton amidst their studio closures.

The almost $100 billion fitness industry has quickly shifted into a virtual world for those who have been able to quickly adapt. However, those who haven’t implemented a digital strategy may not make it out alive and if they do they may never be able to fiscally recover. Now the spotlight has come down to at-home equipment, streaming services and virtual trainers. With no one leaving their homes a $1,495 mirror that doubles as your personal trainer doesn’t seem so bad after all.

A healthy immune system begins in our gut. These eight expert-approved foods can improve your overall health.

1. Fatty fishes
Fatty fishes like salmon, tuna and mackerel are high in Vitamin D and omega-3 fatty acids, which help control inflammation in the body.

2. Turmeric
Turmeric also has anti-inflammatory properties. “It brings inflammation down, even inflammation when it pertains to your brain,” explains Bhatia.

3. Kale
Kale boosts our immune system because it has two critical ingredients: fiber and antioxidants, specifically vitamin C.

4. Guava
Guava has one of the highest vitamin C concentrations of most citrus fruits. Yes, even oranges. Vitamin C can help fight common bacterial and fungal infections.

5. Red bell peppers
Red bell peppers have a ton of antioxidants, fiber and vitamin C.

6. Green chilies
Green chilies are also chock-full of antioxidants. Antioxidants are molecules that fight free radicals (compounds that can cause harm if their levels become too high) in our bodies.

7. Tomatoes
“Tomatoes have many uses but their magic ingredient is something called lycopene,” says Bhatia. Lycopene is a natural pigment that gives some vegetables and fruits its red color. “Lycopene plays a role in something called cytokine storm, which is when your immune system goes haywire and needs to be shut down,” she explains.

8. Oranges
Oranges absolutely make the list because they’re rich in vitamin C, which may increase the production of white blood cells. These are key to fighting infections. “It actually doesn't have as much sugar as many people think,” Bhatia says. “So go ahead and have at least an orange a day.”
