let's talk about post covid symptoms the residual symptoms that can occur after an infection
from covid 19 now some of these symptoms could last for weeks or even months and they really
depend on how intense was that infection was the person in the hospital did it go deep into
the lungs did it create scar tissue are there pre-existing conditions on top of everything
blood pressure obesity heart disease cancer all these additional factors are just going to prolong
the recovery phase what is the age of the person and what is the current stress i think this one
is many times neglected because if a person is under stress usually by i don't know situations
or even people it can take a very long time to recover because they're stuck in the stress in
their environment and you need a very supportive environment to heal so if there are current
people or things that are stressing you out do whatever you can to minimize that and believe
it or not the less stress the person has the faster the recovery now what you have to realize
is that all the symptoms that someone has from covid and other viral infections
are actually caused by the person's own immune system it's the inflammation it's called cytokines
and that is creating all the symptoms in addition to that the residual symptoms are
also coming from the person's own immune system so why does that matter well we want to focus on
the immune system so the post-covet symptoms the the top one would be fatigue and then number two
shortness of breath especially when the person exercises coughing joint pain and chest pain
there can also be additional symptoms depression headache fever that comes and goes a loss of taste
or smell heart pounding or palpitations so there are various things that can be done about this
to pull a person out of let's start with these symptoms right here depression vitamin d minimally
10,000 IUs probably 20 or even 30,000 IUs will really pull someone out of depression
headache increase sodium more sea salt himalayan sea salt is the best if you're going through a
fever that's coming and going calcium lactate is one of my favorite remedies for fevers especially
if someone is younger loss of taste or smell that means you need zinc heart pounding more potassium
also a good thing to do would be to try to sweat like when you go to bed at night
wear some clothes a sweatshirt keep your room really hot take periodic hot showers or hot baths
which are actually inducing a fever that will speed up the recovery time
far too often people try to get rid of their fever too quickly and that prolongs the infection so
realize the more medications that a person takes when they're going through the infection that
could be the thing that can inhibit their immune system and increase the duration of the infection
okay so this is some things that i would recommend vitamin d zinc and vitamin c these three nutrients
are an absolute requirement actually going through the winter months as a prevention
and especially if you have coveted symptoms and you want to take these as early as possible
vitamin d minimally 10,000 IUs per day zinc 1 to 200 milligrams per day vitamin c 500 milligrams
per day i would recommend this being a food-based vitamin c now since your own immune system
is creating all of the damage and the residual symptoms vitamin d is going to drop inflammation
so you're going to instantly feel better zinc also is going to strengthen your own immune system
so you can complete the immune cycle a lot faster and vitamin c will also act as an antioxidant
to prevent all the free radical damage that occurs when you're going through an
infection frequent naps with additional sleep try to get as much sleep as possible because
you want to let your body heal and it heals while you're sleeping all sorts of magical things happen
to your immune system when you sleep if you don't get enough sleep it's going to take a lot longer
to recover no alcohol or sugar when you're trying to recover it's going to set you back
this is why we always recommend you do healthy keto and if you're new to my channel i put a
link down below for that intermittent fasting so do not consume a breakfast don't eat snacks
eat infrequently two meals a day or even one meal a day and what's going to happen you're going to
strengthen your immune system your immune system is actually going to get stronger when you do this
now i would recommend taking apple cider vinegar take a good tablespoon and a glass of water a
couple times a day that acidity is going to help stimulate something called phagocytes
which is going to help clean up some of this immune damage that's going on ashwagandha is
one of my favorite adaptogen herbs that can help strengthen the adrenal and help speed up recovery
because usually the adrenal is what's weakened when you have slow recovery if you can recover
fast you usually have good adrenals ashwagandha is a good one to help support a healthy adrenal gland
and then cordyceps which is actually a fungus it's very powerful it's been used for a very long time
a lot of different cultures use it and it can give you the edge and pull you out of some of
these symptoms right here and lastly if you have not heard about my free immune course
it's called bulletproofing your immune system you should definitely
take it to strengthen your own immune system i put a link down below check it
