Welcome to Dishing Up Nutrition, brought to you by nutritional weight and wellness.

Today, we are talking on a rather serious health problem that more than 10,000 people in Minnesota are suffering from,

and as many as 12 million people nationwide.

These people are considered long haulers after having COVID-19.

So today we will be offering some insights into the effectiveness of nutrition, your food

choices, on managing these inflammatory symptoms, and why and how nutrition can help heal the damage done by the COVID-19

virus. We believe we have new information for you and that you will understand how this

complex healing process is for most people. Healing from COVID-19 takes more than a pill, and after this show, you may

decide it is time to change what you have on your plate. That's what we're hoping. Of course,

as dietitians and nutritionists, we believe eating real food is a stronger and better plan for

healing than any pill that has been

developed. In the future, there may be a prescription that manages these symptoms, but currently

there isn't a pill that takes care of all of it. At this point in time, the best treatment plan

is to carefully eat high nutrient foods to help that

healing process. Before we go any further, I am Teresa Wagner and I am a registered and licensed

We were not a good quarantining family as far as it was my daughter got it three days later my husband got it three days later I did

the next three days later my next daughter and then lastly my son so we had an entire month of

quarantining with COVID it was yeah it was not it was not a lot was not. That's a lot. I've heard families who have

been more successful at not infecting the whole family with the illness, but apparently we just

missed the memo on a quarantine. I am Brittany Vincent and I am also a registered and licensed
