What to eat before and after your COVID-19 vaccine to lessen side effects

Health experts recommend some foods to boost the immune system for a better response before and after the vaccination against the coronavirus.

Iran PressAmerica: According to www.huffpost.com, side effects of the vaccines can include pain, redness, and swelling at the injection site, as well as possible fever, headache, tiredness, nausea, chills, and muscle pain, but there are small steps you can take to lessen those side effects, and many of them have to do with your diet.

1)Try ginger tea for nausea

Ginger has a reputation as an excellent and safe traditional remedy for gastrointestinal complaints.

2) Hydrate with healthy fluids

From water to tea to your favorite flavored sparkling water, drink up. The fever a vaccine may induce can lead to dehydration.

3) Consider eating a low glycemic index diet for at least a few days after the vaccine

A low glycemic index diet will keep your blood sugar steady. Research centered around diabetes has shown that lower glucose levels tend to be anti-inflammatory. In general, foods that keep blood sugar at healthy levels include green vegetables, most beans, whole grains, and multigrain bread, fruits like berries and apples, and of course healthy lean proteins, eggs, and nuts.

4) Turn to that favorite remedy of all time, chicken soup

A nice healing broth with many well-cooked veggies is easy to digest and nourishing.
