Bland diet: pay attention to protein supplementation
"Most people enter the recovery state after 7 to 10 days after being infected with the new coronavirus. The results of antigen detection and nucleic acid detection have turned negative, but some symptoms may remain, the most common being cough and throat discomfort." President of Beijing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine Liu Qingquan said that the recovery period refers to 7 to 10 days after the nucleic acid test results turn negative. Entering the recovery period, you must first maintain a high morale mentally. With energy, the body can recover quickly.

During the recovery period, you can't make a lot of supplements, and you can't eat and drink too much. Some people's eating and sleeping are affected during the infection, and with the arrival of winter, they feel that they need to make up for it. Liu Qingquan said that this view is incorrect. From the point of view of traditional Chinese medicine, tonic after recovery is not good for the body and is prone to problems. Eating and drinking too much is not good for the body's recovery, and even "eating complex" occurs, that is, eating incorrectly leads to disease recurrence, such as symptoms of fever, especially teenagers are more prone to "eating complex". Don't eat and drink too much, especially don't eat greasy and fatty food. Eat a light diet. You can eat one or two eggs, drink milk or porridge every day, and eat more vegetables and fruits to ensure physical recovery.

No strenuous exercise, slow down the pace of life and work
"Moderate exercise during the recovery period is conducive to recovery, but not strenuous exercise." Liu Qingquan said that strenuous exercise will not only fail to promote physical recovery, but may also cause other problems. Be sure to do rehabilitation exercises according to your illness and physical condition. You can do some gentle exercises, such as Baduanjin, Tai Chi, etc., which are conducive to the smooth flow of qi and blood meridians and the restoration of righteousness. The amount of exercise should not exceed 1/3 of your usual amount, and then gradually increase.

"If young and middle-aged people have obvious symptoms of cough and sore throat during the recovery period, don't rush to exercise." Gao Yan said that the recovery period will not affect young and middle-aged people's resumption of work and production, but it is not recommended to participate in high-intensity fitness exercises. During the recovery period, pay attention to rest, strengthen nutrition, and promote the body to return to a normal state.

"Old people over the age of 60 should not engage in high-intensity fitness exercises during the recovery period." Gao Yan said that the elderly themselves suffer from chronic diseases such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and coronary heart disease, and they usually have the habit of exercising. Slowly, although the antigen test has turned negative, respiratory symptoms will continue. If you return to your usual exercise level, it may not be conducive to recovery.

"During the recovery period, the pace of life and work can be slightly slowed down." Liu Qingquan said that during the recovery period, pay attention to the pace of work, and don't think about spending a few days to make up for the work that was left behind after the infection. It is best not to stay up late and work overtime.
