Today I’m going to share with you what I would eat if I had the COVID-19 coronavirus.
Pre-existing conditions significantly increase your susceptibility to getting the COVID-19 virus and experiencing complications from the virus. These pre-existing conditions could include:
• Diabetes
• Heart disease
• High blood pressure
• Insulin resistance
• Obesity
All of the conditions above have something in common—high insulin. To help with a high insulin situation, you would want to consume a low carb, moderate protein, high-fat diet (healthy keto).
Other foods I would consume if I was diagnosed with COVID-19:
1. Zinc:
• Oysters
• Shellfish
• Red meat
• Cheese
2. Vitamin D
• Cod liver oil
• Salmon
• Sun (20 minutes a day)
3. Vitamin C
• Leafy greens
• Sauerkraut
• Berries
Stress increases cortisol. Chronically elevated cortisol (chronic stress) can severely affect your immune system. It also increases your susceptibility to getting viruses and bacteria. I would also definitely try to lower stress as much as possible.
