The COVID19 virus harms the immune system, causing weight loss and weakness. Aside from medications, a person's daily diet must be carefully monitored. According to a social media post by celebrity nutritionist and author Rujuta Diwekar, the best thing is to rely on our comfort foods, as they are vitamins and minerals rich like vitamin D and C and zinc and are helpful in speedy recovery.

While packaged foods appear to be an easy way to satisfy hunger, in the case of COVID19, such foods can cause significant harm. They are high in sodium and preservatives, which can cause inflammation, cause a delay in recovery, and weaken the immune system.

Avoid spicy foods during this time, according to experts, as they frequently irritate the throat, cause irritation, and cause you to cough more. Instead of red chilli powder, use black pepper, which has antimicrobial and antibacterial properties.

As your sense of taste returns during the recovery period, you may crave deep-fried tasty treats. Hold off cravings for fried foods a while, say, experts, because these foods are high in fat and can lead to overeating. They are difficult to digest and can put additional strain on the digestive system. Fried foods have been shown to harm the gut microbiome and suppress immune function and they frequently raise bad cholesterol.

Avoid aerated drinks at all costs during the infection and recovery period. All of these drinks cause inflammation and impede the healing process. You can have lemon juice without adding soda.
