HERE ARE WAYS TO BOOST ENERGY

  • As soon as the disease ends, it is useful not to start work that will put a lot of effort immediately, to continue vitamin C, magnesium and zinc in this process. Vitamin D is also one of the supports that can be used on the advice of a doctor.
    .
  • No one knows what disease he will get, and when he gets it, his immune system is strong, he eats well, he doesn’t gain much weight, he doesn’t have diabetes, it always makes treatment easier.
    .
  • During this period, care should be taken to eat color. Each meal means that the more different colors of food you have on your plate, the more different vitamins, minerals you receive.
    .
  • Consuming seasonal Turkish vegetables and fruits, dried legumes and whole wheat flour increases the beneficial bacteria in our intestines. There is also an association between Covid-19 and intestinal health, and there are opinions that the intestinal flora of mild survivors is better.
    .
  • It is also important to control blood sugar for long-term use of energy during post-virus fatigue syndrome. In other words, blood sugar comes out of nowhere and suddenly drops, which causes energy to drop quickly and fatigue. So do not consume foods that contain simple sugar, such as sweet, white bread, cake, rice. Choose foods such as whole wheat flour, bulgur rice, dry legumes with a lower glycemic index.
    .
  • Regular secretion of the hormone Melanin also increases energy. If you are constantly sleeping late, your room is getting light, and you are exposed to blue screen light until the last moment before you go to sleep, your melatonin hormone is not secreted. This, in turn, is a factor that reduces energy.
    .
  • There’s one more thing that’s effective in all diseases… that’s morale and motivation… high levels of the stress hormone cortisol negatively affect immunity in those with poor Psychology. You should try to stay away from stress, try meditation methods to calm the body and brain.
