  1. Early Morning:
    • Drink at least 1-2 glasses of lukewarm water after waking up.
    • Begin your day with dry fruits and nuts: 4 almonds, 3 halves of walnuts, 6 raisins and 4-5 raw pistachios. Don’t forget to soak them overnight. They are rich in Zinc and Vitamin C and soaking them overnight increases their nutritional value. You may also take ½ well-soaked amla murabba in the morning or amla powder mixed with jaggery or honey.
    • A herbal concoction is the best holistic remedy, especially if you are recovering from Covid-19. You may brew some Tulsi leaves with Mulethi, ginger, cinnamon, cloves and star anise for a perfect morning herbal tea.
  2. Breakfast:
    • Breakfast needs to be healthy and nutritious. It needs to contain a perfect amount of protein, carbohydrates and dietary fibres. It will not only aid in the removal of toxins but also strengthen the body.
    • Keeping this in mind, you may choose any of the following breakfast options:
      • Ragi Chilla or Moong Dal Chilla with Chutney
      • Poha/ Vermicelli with vegetables/ Salted Dalia/ Idli with Chutney/ Upma/ Sabudane ki khichdi

    • You may take 1-2 chapatis or a bowl of rice with a bowl of moong dal in your dinner. You may also take Dalia ki khichdi, loaded with veggies and chutney. Don’t forget to add ghee to your dinner.

HOME REMEDIES FOR CORONAVIRUS : SAFE & EFFECTIVE

Diet-plan for covid -19
  • You can add honey to your herbal tea. Honey is one of the best anti-inflammatory agents. Remember to not add honey to drinks with temperatures more than 40° Celsius. This will destroy its nutritional value.
  • Green Tea should be added to water with a temperature between 70-75° Celsius, for the most optimal nutritional value.
  • People who are on the path of recovery should eat Cheena at least 4-5 times a week. It is one of the best home remedies to fight Covid-19.
  • The best options for fat during these times are Ghee, Mustard Oil and cold-pressed Groundnut Oil. However, if you have a fever, consume only Ghee or butter.
  • Covid-19 is an inflammatory disease. To pacify the effects of the diseases, anti-inflammatory herbs such as turmeric, honey and cinnamon are a must.
  • Carbohydrates are the most essential component while recovering. Your body needs strength to fight the virus. Include good carbohydrates in your diet such as rice, whole grains, ragi, sabudana, amaranth, daliya and aloo.
  • You must include proteins with good bioavailability such as Cheena, dals, legumes, chicken, fish and paneer. This will help you fight post-covid fatigue.
  • While recovering from this fatal disease, fruits play one of the most important roles. Fruits such as pineapple, kiwi, orange, pomegranate, watermelon and apple are highly beneficial.
  • You must eat easily digestible food as they reduce inflammation and bloating. And since you will be spending most of your day taking bed rest, these are the best options.
  • Adequate sleep is probably the most important element of recovery. Why? Researchers show that quality sleep strengthens the immune system of the body and lack of sleep is detrimental to the defensive system of the body.
  • Sunlight is rich in Vitamin D, which triggers the immunity powers of the body. Soak in sunlight for at least 10-15 minutes daily. Better if you sit under the morning sun!
  • Hydration is the key to quick recovery and reduced infection. Fluids accelerate the rate of recovery. You may take fluids in a variety of ways including coconut water, barley water, carrot and ginger juice, thin vegetable soup and chaas. But remember nothing works wonders like water. Drink plenty of water and detoxify your body. Boost your immunity system with water. Make sure to have at least 1L of warm water every day.
  • Last but not the least, don’t forget to have steam. Steam is extremely efficient in killing this virus. Have it at least twice a day.
