If you have just recovered from COVID-19, you must pay attention to your diet and your nutritious intake. Some people may decrease in immunity. But, don't worry, foods with high protein helps to boost your immunity. 

As we know that COVID-19 causes excessive stress, slow digestive, immunological, and reproductive functions. Here are superfoods that we recommend to prevent the bad effects of COVID-19.

Red meat

According to Beef+Lamb New Zealand, red meat provides iron, zinc, vitamins B12 and B6 that play an important role in keeping your immune system in check. Besides, zinc helps with wound healing and protein aids in tissue building and repair after an injury.

I think this is the 'comfort way' to back your immunity as we can enjoy a sirloin steak with mushroom sauce. Yummy!

Spinach

But if you're vegan, try to eat spinach a lot. Vitamin A is considered essential to normal immune functioning, and leafy greens like spinach are packed with beta-carotene, a form of vitamin A that is also an antioxidant.

On top of that, leafy greens are a good source of folate, and some research suggests that a deficiency may impair immune response. Not a fan of spinach? Most dark green and orange vegetables are good sources of beta-carotene, while folate is also in fruit, beans, nuts, whole, and fortified grains.

Fatty fish

Our heart isn't the only thing that can benefit from a dose of omega-3 fatty acids. Fatty fish, such as salmon and tuna contain omega-3 fatty acids, which help control inflammation in your body. It's important to consume inflammation-fighting foods regularly, but especially when you're feeling under the weather.

That's because chronic inflammation can weaken and disrupt the function of your immune system. These delicious Wild Salmon Sweet Potato Cakes feature sweet potatoes, coconut oil, and avocados, rich in health-boosting antioxidants.

Chicken soup

Cold symptoms are typically the result of the body’s inflammatory response to an invading virus. Neutrophils are an important type of white blood cell that migrates toward the site of inflammation to help fight infection in the body.

Although the inflammatory response is an important part of fighting an infection, it also causes the symptoms you get when fighting a cold or the flu. So, while you don’t want to suppress the response, dampening an overactive response can be a good thing.

Eggs

Eggs have gotten a bad rap because their yolks are high in cholesterol, but the yolks are also a rich source of protein, which can help immune-related problems. Egg yolks also contain zinc and selenium, which are important minerals that help boost the immune system. If cholesterol is a problem in your healthy diet, make your scrambled eggs with two whites but only one yolk.
