Plant-Based Protein

As previously stated, a plant-based diet may aid in COVID-19 recovery. Include protein from sources such as nuts, seeds, and nut butter in your diet. Consuming protein-rich foods is essential for preserving muscle mass during a period when you're likely cutting back on physical activity. Furthermore, COVID-19 is a hypermetabolic state, which means your body is burning more fuel to speed up your recovery, and if that fuel is not replaced, it can lead to more fatigue.

People who are affected by COVID frequently reduce their consumption due to shortness of breath or a general lack of appetite. Focus on protein if you're having trouble maintaining your normal appetite while dealing with a COVID diagnosis. There is also the option of using animal sources. However, according to a study published in Current Developments in Nutrition in May 2019, plant-based protein may be a better anti-inflammatory agent than animal protein.
