How to enhance Post Covid recovery?
Good diet:
A balanced diet consisting of fats, carbohydrates and proteins is essential to build up the immunity. All the nutrients would help the body to fight well against the diseases. Include milk, poultry, and cheese.
Pulses and high fibre food should also be included in the diet. Do not forget to add fats in the recovery phase. Fats help to regulate the immune and metabolic system as well.
Sleep well
Nothing heals the body better than a good night sleep. Sleeping for 8 hours would keep your body fresh and energised. Lack of immunity leads to decreased immunity.
Vitamins and mineral supplements
Patients who have suffered from the Covid 19 virus have reported vitamin D deficiency. Intake of other vitamins as A B C E is also essential for building up good immunity.
You can take zinc and iron supplements after consultation with the doctor.
Get your checkups done regularly
It’s better to get your full body tests done to know the effect of the disease on the body. With the consult from your doctor, you can start medication for the same.
Exercise
Extreme exercising is not recommended post Covid . But you can always do mild to moderate exercise. 30 minutes of exercise is sufficient for an increased blood flow and better immunity.
Practice breathing exercises for improved functionality of the body.
Hydration
Keep yourself well hydrated every day.
Practice proning exercises for better oxygenation.
