Stick to a Healthy Diet

The one message that has been going out now through the social media is that you must stick to a very nutritional and lean diet in order to stay safe from the coronavirus. That’s true to some extent but possibly the most important is variety; try to eat as diverse a diet as possible within the parameters of your exclusions. Avoid coming to rely on anyone ‘safe’ food which provides only a limited range of nutrients; over-consumption can also increase your risk of becoming intolerant to a food. How you eat is vital too. Take your time – when you are selecting food, cooking it, and most importantly eating it. Eat when you are calm and relaxed and can focus on your meal, not when you are rushed or anxious or distracted.

Also, don’t skip meals, especially breakfast – you will experience uncomfortable fluctuations in energy and blood sugar levels and you will be more vulnerable to casual snacking and grabbing possibly unsafe convenience foods on the go. Plan ahead, and always have healthy and safe foods to hand should you be caught short and peckish. And remember, just because you have a food allergy doesn’t mean you can’t be passionate about food. Learn to cook new dishes. Interest yourself in food news and culinary innovations.
