To make your path to recovery easier, experts recommend that the key to faster healing is modifying your diet by incorporating nutritious and healthy foods that help improve immunity, according to a report published on the "Times of India" website. Following a healthy diet, alongside practicing simple breathing exercises, can aid in improvement, revive depleted energy, and enhance the body's strength and immunity. Here are some foods to include in your diet for a quick recovery from a COVID-19 infection, according to "Youm7."
Maintaining body hydration by drinking plenty of water – at least 3 to 4 liters daily, especially water infused with healthy additions like ginger. Try to avoid sleeping flat on your back, as this can increase the chances of chest congestion; opt for sleeping either on your stomach or side.
It is always preferable to consume light and easily digestible snacks, as well as warm and cooked meals. Ensure you eat fruits like pomegranates, oranges, or apples, as they provide energy to the body. Avoid cold and sugary foods, as well as spicy and salty foods during a COVID-19 infection; moderation in all flavors during meals is important.
You must increase your protein intake, which helps build muscles and repair cellular damage, thus boosting immunity. Good sources include fish, lean meats, bananas, nuts, seeds, and legumes. Protein is also a great source of omega-3 fatty acids, which help enhance metabolism and improve gut health.
Include calorie-dense nutrients, especially if you are on the road to recovery from COVID-19. You should abandon the habit of counting calories and instead consume calorie-rich foods that help revitalize your depleted health and strengthen your immune system, such as nuts, seeds, whole grains, and dried fruits.
