Seasons are changing and everyone at home has cold cough going on. Im so scared of falling sick now that im pregnant. What foods or simple things helped u stay strong during this time? want to take care before i actually catch something.
Realistically just nail the basics even when busy. Carry fruit and nuts to work, dont skip meals, sleep on time and keep hand hygiene up especially in crowds. Take ur vitamins. Small consistent habits beat any fancy routine.
Simple things work best. Eat colourful fruits and veggies, enough protein, stay hydrated and sleep properly. I had seasonal fruits, dahi, dals daily. Take ur prescribed supplements regularly and dont stress too much, stress also pulls immunity down.
I focused on home food, citrus fruits, amla, lots of water and warm soups. Natural is nice for daily immunity. But if u actually fall sick, get fever or infection, dont self treat, see ur gynac. Prevention at home, illness to the doctor.
At home we relied on simple kitchen stuff, haldi milk, lots of seasonal fruit, fresh cooked meals. My amma made sure I had enough rest too. Nothing fancy. Just dont take any immunity tablets or kadhas on ur own, check with doc first.
Gentle daily walking and good sleep did a lot for me, doc had cleared light activity. Plus eating well and a little sunlight for vitamin D. Movement, food and rest together really help the body stay strong.
