These foods are warned by experts to potentially harm the health of those who have just recovered from Covid-19.
Depending on individual immunity and constitution, along with the effects of the third vaccine dose, most individuals infected with Covid-19 (F0) currently have a quicker recovery time. However, post-Covid-19 symptoms can still have long-lasting effects after the virus is gone, impacting both the physical condition and mental state of the patient. The impact can be mitigated, and post-Covid-19 immunity can be enhanced through dietary choices. There are certain foods that should be avoided during the recovery phase when the body is still sensitive.
Compiled from experts and the Ministry of Health’s electronic portal, here are the foods to limit after Covid-19. This information is for reference only.:
1. Coffee, energy drinks, green tea, milk tea (caffeinated beverages) – These drinks can increase heart rate, exacerbate feelings of nervousness, anxiety, restlessness, rapid heartbeat, and insomnia.
