Pre-existing conditions significantly increase your susceptibility to getting the COVID-19 virus and experiencing complications from the virus. These pre-existing conditions could include: • Diabetes • Heart disease • High blood pressure • Insulin resistance • Obesity All of the conditions above have something in common—high insulin. To help with a high insulin situation, you would want to consume a low carb, moderate protein, high-fat diet (healthy keto). Other foods I would consume if I was diagnosed with COVID-19: 1. Zinc: • Oysters • Shellfish • Red meat • Cheese 2. Vitamin D • Cod liver oil • Salmon • Sun (20 minutes a day) 3. Vitamin C • Leafy greens • Sauerkraut • Berries Stress increases cortisol. Chronically elevated cortisol (chronic stress) can severely affect your immune system. It also increases your susceptibility to getting viruses and bacteria. I would also definitely try to lower stress as much as possible.
