A nutritionist said that “It is important to take care of one’s health and eat healthy meals post Covid, to avoid and manage post-Covid complications”. This is possible through a diet rich in nutritious food and simple ingredients which are not oily, spicy, or extremely sweet can help.
It is important to keep in mind that one should:
