<Abstract>The coronavirus pandemic crisis has affected millions of people and taken millions of lives. The current coronavirus strain is possibly originated in bats and pangolins. The first human transmission occurred in Wuhan, China. The virus has since spread mainly through person-to-person contact. It affects the person with old age or the person suffering from any other chronic diseases and had low immune power whereas the individual of young group age as well as with high immunity and had no participation in habits such as drinking alcohol and smoking reduces the risk of COVID-19 infection. The exact pathogenesis and targeted drug treatment of the disease are still unexplored. Through this review, we had attempted to put forward some of the protective measures to boost up immunity and to fight against the current COVID-19 pandemic crisis. A healthy lifestyle that includes a proper diet including foods containing antioxidants, foods having natural antiviral properties, zinc-containing foods, and probiotics help to boost immunity. Yoga and exercises including Surya Namaskar and other Pranayam make us healthy and improves immune power to fight with COVID-19 infection in the era of the corona crisis as well as various bacterial and viral infections.</Abstract>
