In testing times, like the Covid pandemic, it is crucial to ensure you get the proper nutrition from your diet to allow your immune system to fight intrusive viruses. Therefore, Slender Wonder has compiled a list of do’s and don’ts to help guide your at-home COVID patient diet plan.Â
Covid Diet Plan Do’s
- Incorporate citrus fruits, such as lemons and oranges into your diet. They are high in Vitamin C, which helps to boost immunity and fight infections.
- Eat plenty of protein-rich foods such as beans, lentils, and nuts for extra strength.
- Include fresh fruits and veggies in your diet (bright coloured fruits & vegetables like red capsicum, carrots, beetroot, and greens)
- Hydrate yourself by drinking 8-10 glasses of water daily. This will ensure that unwanted toxins are flushed out of your system.Â
- Don’t be afraid to add a little spice. Spices such as ginger, garlic, and turmeric, are natural immune enhancers and are a great addition to any diet plan.
Covid Diet Plan Don’ts
- Strictly avoid alcoholic drinks. Alcoholic drinks only break down your immune system, can lead to dehydration and the high sugar contents is just overall bad for your body.Â
- Stay away from fast food and heavily processed meals. If you don’t have time to cook healthy meals from scratch rather opt for the Slender Wonder ready-made meals which are packed full of healthy nutritional foods.Â
 Getting Back Your Appetite After Covid
You may find eating big meals to be a bit overwhelming directly after falling ill. Eating smaller portions more regularly will help you increase your appetite. Choose protein- and energy-rich meals (meat, fish, eggs, cheese, beans, and lentils) and drink plenty of water to stay hydrated. Choose milk-based beverages since they provide extra nutrients such as protein and calcium.
Vitamins to Take for COVID Recovery
The appeal of safe, natural treatments is undeniable. It’s true for age-old conditions such as the common cold, and new diseases, especially if they have no known cure. So, it makes sense that there would be a lot of interest in supplements for COVID-19, whether as prevention or treatment.
Zinc, melatonin, vitamin C, vitamin D, and other supplements have been commonly prescribed from the earliest days of the pandemic.
- Vitamin C is an antioxidant that has long been promoted as a key player in healthy immune function.
- Zinc may have antiviral activity, whether by improving immune cell function that counters viral infections or by reducing the ability of viruses to multiply
