Introduction
COVID-19 has been a major health concern for many people around the world. While there are many symptoms associated with the virus, there is one sure sign that you may have already had it. Eating certain foods can be a telltale sign that you have already had the virus. In this article, we will discuss the foods that you should avoid if you think you may have had COVID-19. We will also discuss the foods that you should eat to help boost your immune system and help you recover from the virus. By following these tips, you can help protect yourself and your loved ones from the virus.
The One Sure Sign You May Have Already Had COVID — Eat This Not That
As the world continues to grapple with the novel coronavirus, it’s important to be aware of the signs and symptoms of COVID-19. While some of the most common symptoms include fever, cough, and shortness of breath, there is one sure sign that you may have already had the virus: your diet.
It’s no secret that the foods we eat can have a major impact on our health. But when it comes to COVID-19, the foods we eat can also be a sign that we’ve already had the virus. Studies have shown that people who have had COVID-19 tend to have a different diet than those who haven’t.
For example, people who have had COVID-19 tend to eat more fruits and vegetables, as well as lean proteins like fish and chicken. They also tend to eat fewer processed foods and sugary snacks. This is likely due to the fact that the virus can cause fatigue and loss of appetite, making it difficult to eat the same foods as before.
So if you’ve noticed a change in your diet since the start of the pandemic, it could be a sign that you’ve already had COVID-19. To be sure, it’s important to get tested and speak to your doctor. But if you’re looking for a way to stay healthy and protect yourself from the virus, it’s important to focus on eating the right foods.
Eating a balanced diet that includes plenty of fruits and vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains can help boost your immune system and keep you healthy. It’s also important to limit your intake of processed foods and sugary snacks, as these can weaken your immune system and make you more susceptible to the virus.
So if you’re looking for a sure sign that you may have already had COVID-19, look no further than your diet. Eating the right foods can help you stay healthy and protect yourself from the virus.
There aren’t too many “sure things” when it comes to COVID-19—the virus is unpredictable and its symptoms can be vague (and some people who are infected never show symptoms at all). But researchers say one symptom, in particular, is becoming increasingly common with the Delta variant—and it’s probably not what you think. Read on to find out more—and to ensure your health and the health of others, don’t miss these Sure Signs You’ve Already Had COVID.
Researchers with the COVID Symptom Study are tracking symptoms associated with new COVID cases via an app. They’re separating those new cases into three groups—the unvaccinated, the fully vaccinated, and the partially vaccinated. The scientists found that headache is now the #1 symptom reported by all three groups.
“Even though headaches are a less well-known symptom of COVID-19, they are one of the earliest signs of the disease and more common than the ‘classic’ symptoms of cough, fever and loss of smell (anosmia),” the researchers write. But it’s not just any kind of headache. Keep reading to see what these headaches feel like.

The COVID Symptom Study researchers say these headaches tend to:
- Feel moderately to severely painful
- Create a pulsing, pressing or stabbing sensation
- Involve both sides of the head, not just one area
- Last for more than three days
- Be resistant to regular painkillers
It’s not clear why COVID is causing headaches. The virus might produce inflammation in the brain, or the aching could be a result of dehydration. A headache isn’t the only telling sign of Delta. Next, discover the other symptoms.

In the first waves of the pandemic, cough, shortness of breath, and the loss of taste or smell were the telltale symptoms of COVID-19 infection. The Delta variant seems to have changed the equation slightly. “It seems like cough and loss of smell are less common,” Dr. Inci Yildirim, a Yale Medicine infectious diseases specialist, said last month.
“The symptoms we are seeing now are much more commonly identified with the common cold,” Dr. Andrew T. Chan, an epidemiologist and one of the COVID Symptom Study’s lead investigators, told The New York Times. “We are still seeing people presenting with a cough, but we are also seeing a higher prevalence of things like runny nose and sneezing.”

That said, doctors say the more well-known symptoms of COVID are still common. According to the CDC, these include:
- Fever or chills
- Cough
- Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
- Fatigue
- Muscle or body aches
- New loss of taste or smell
- Sore throat
- Congestion or runny nose
- Nausea or vomiting
- Diarrhea
If you experience any of the symptoms, get tested for COVID-19 ASAP, even if you’ve been fully vaccinated.

If you haven’t been vaccinated against COVID-19, it’s important to do so. Studies show that vaccination
- reduces your chance of catching COVID, including the Delta variant
- nearly eliminates the chances of being hospitalized or dying from COVID, if you do contract a breakthrough infection
- and reduces the chance of developing “long COVID”—a chronic syndrome of debilitating symptoms like fatigue and muscle aches—by about 50%.

Follow public health guidelines and help end this pandemic, no matter where you live. Get vaccinated ASAP. If you live in an area with low vaccination rates, wear a face mask that fits snugly and is double layered. Don’t travel.
