Struggling with long Covid? Long Covid is essentially a post-infection condition that can linger for a long period of time after someone has tested negative – even years! While eating the right foods is not a cure for long Covid, diet and nutrition could play a key role in coping with it. Experts say there is still a lot to learn about long Covid, but nutrition plays a vital role: “Heart disease, certain cancers, stroke and type two diabetes … you can fight all of those diseases with a knife and a fork. That is empowering because you have control of what’s on your plate and what you eat.” – Dr Joan Salge Blake, Clinical Professor at Boston University. Here are some tips that could help reduce the effects of long Covid:
-Meals rich in veggies, fruits, nuts and whole grains
-Be aware of vitamin deficiencies
-Stay hydrated
-Steer clear of foods that worsen inflammation
