I am a Virus Expert and Here’s a Sure Sign You Already Had COVID — Eat This Not That
As a virus expert, I have seen firsthand the devastating effects of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19). It is important to take all necessary precautions to protect yourself and your loved ones from the virus. One of the best ways to do this is to be aware of the signs and symptoms of the virus and to take steps to prevent its spread.
One of the most common signs of having had COVID-19 is a loss of appetite. If you have recently experienced a decrease in your appetite, it could be a sign that you have already had the virus. It is important to take this seriously and to take steps to protect yourself and others.
One of the best ways to protect yourself is to eat the right foods. Eating a healthy, balanced diet can help to boost your immune system and reduce your risk of getting sick. Here are some of the foods that you should be eating if you think you may have had COVID-19:
- Fruits and vegetables: Eating plenty of fruits and vegetables can help to boost your immune system and provide essential vitamins and minerals. Try to include a variety of colors in your diet to get the most benefit.
- Whole grains: Whole grains are a great source of fiber and other important nutrients. Eating whole grains can help to keep your digestive system healthy and reduce your risk of getting sick.
- Lean proteins: Lean proteins such as fish, chicken, and beans are a great source of protein and can help to keep your body strong and healthy.
- Healthy fats: Healthy fats such as olive oil, nuts, and avocados can help to keep your heart healthy and reduce your risk of getting sick.
It is also important to avoid certain foods if you think you may have had COVID-19. These include processed foods, sugary drinks, and foods high in saturated fat. Eating these foods can weaken your immune system and make it more difficult for your body to fight off the virus.
By following these simple tips, you can help to protect yourself and your loved ones from the novel coronavirus. Eating the right foods and avoiding the wrong ones can help to keep your body strong and healthy and reduce your risk of getting sick.
If you’ve experienced a period of fatigue or other unexplained symptoms, you may have had COVID-19 at some point and didn’t know it. According to a recent study in the JAMA Network Open, “56% reported being unaware of any recent Omicron variant infection.” While there’s no positive way to tell if you’ve had the virus other than a test, there are signs that indicate you could have had COVID. Eat This, Not That! Health spoke with Thomas Gut, D.O. Associate Chair of Medicine at Staten Island University Hospital who tells us, “There are a handful of symptoms that we commonly see associated with people that have survived COVID. Many of these symptoms have now been grouped together under the syndrome of Long-COVID.” Read on—and to ensure your health and the health of others, don’t miss these Sure Signs You’ve Already Had COVID.
Dr. Gut explains, “COVID is still an important virus to look out for. Although numbers are low and recent strains of Omicron are far less deadly than previous COVID variants, it’s still a frequent cause of symptoms that may require hospitalization. Luckily, there are treatment options to target newest variants and we even have a new vaccine that, unlike previous vaccines, specifically targets the current most common strains of COVID in the community.”
According to Dr. Gut, “The pandemic is slowly beginning to transition into an endemic phase. I would be hesitant to say the pandemic has ended since COVID is still a very serious and deadly virus and many issues that the pandemic state has created are yet to be fully resolved.”
Dr. Gut says, “Brain fog frequently starts after the infection has resolved yet can last for several months. Oftentimes it makes it difficult to process thoughts quickly or recall memories as well as previously.”
“Fatigue often begins during or shortly after the COVID virus has been cleared by the immune system, but can also last for several months,” Dr. Gut states. “Very frequently, patients will see multiple doctors including cardiologists and pulmonologists without finding a cause.”
Dr. Gut shares, “Insomnia or difficulty falling asleep often occurs after the COVID infection has passed and usually self resolves within a few months. There are ways to help some of these symptoms until the body has recovered, so talk with your physician.” And to protect your life and the lives of others, don’t visit any of these 35 Places You’re Most Likely to Catch COVID.
