Revitalizing Foods for Long COVID Patients
Consume 5 main food groups: cooked, clean, easily digestible
Make sure the foods are cooked, clean and easily digestible to avoid gastrointestinal disorders. In addition, if you have anorexia, divide your food into smaller meals to maintain stable blood sugar throughout the day to avoid tiredness and fatigue. Also, consider consuming the following foods:
- Protein, such as meat, eggs, milk, cheese, nuts and tofu.
- Diet rich in healthy microorganisms or probiotics, such as yogurt with less sugar.
- Foods high in fiber, such as whole grains, beans, bananas, onions, and garlic, to feed healthy microbes and to enhance immune system.
- Avoid junk foods, such as ready-to-eat food, frozen food, pickled food, grilled food, fried food, oily food and spicy food which are difficult to digest and refrain from drinking alcoholic beverages. These foods can lower the immune system.
- Vitamins and minerals should not be taken for granted because they help repair and strengthen the body and enhance the immunity. Vitamins suitable for Long COVID patients are as follows:
- Vitamin C is found a lot in fresh fruits and vegetables, such as oranges, papayas, guava, lemons, tomatoes and bell peppers which should be eaten fresh. To steam or stir-fry, you may spend a little bit of time to cook to preserve the nutritional value of vitamin C.
- Vitamin A, such as organ meats, egg yolks, milk, dairy products, dark leafy greens, yellow and orange fruits and vegetables, such as gourd, morning glory, carrots, pumpkin, yellow sweet potato and ripe papaya.
- Vitamin D, such as tilapia, ruby fish, mushrooms and egg yolks.
- Vitamin E, such as eggs, vegetables and fruits, such as nuts, soybean oil, olive oil, sunflower oil and avocado
- Zinc, such as meats, organ meats, liver, oysters, and brown rice.
