Covid 19 - A Recovery Plan
I am sure most of us are aware of the lasting impact that covid-19 has on our society and throughout the world, especially on those who have been hit hardest due to the health, social and/or financial issues caused by the pandemic.
So what can you do to get out of the fire and play your part in recovery? Focus on the things you can do to help improve matters, starting with yourself. Try to be the best human version of your self and be as healthy as you can by trying to lead a mental and physically healthy lifestyle. How? Optimise work - life balance, adjust, adapt, review, repeat! By doing this you minimise the risk to stress, niggles, injuries, illness, disease and much more. As stated in previous newsletters, improve your total health, follow these basics; eat, sleep, move and act/behave well. So, eat a balanced diet, stay hydrated and eat especially your greens, fruits and proteins every day, sleep about 7-8 hours each night, move well and stay active for your bodies needs and act in a loving, caring and connected manner with empathy and understanding where this is possible. There’s a lot more to this of course but I am sure you can catch my drift.
I had recieved some useful information which may help if you are struggling with the effects of Covid currently: Advice from a Nurse
Sleep on your stomach at all times with Covid. If you can’t sleep on your stomach because of heath issues sleep on your side. Do not lay on your back no matter what because it smashes your lungs and that will allow fluid to set in.
Set your clock every two hours while sleeping on your stomach, then get out of bed and walk for 15-30 min, no matter how tired or weak that you are. Also move your arms around frequently, it helps to open your lungs. Breathe in through your nose, and out through your mouth. This will help build up your lungs, plus it helps to get rid of the Pneumonia and/or other fluid you may have.
When sitting in a recliner, sit up straight - do not lay back in the recliner, again this will crush your lungs. While watching TV - get up and walk during every commercial.
Eat at least 1 - 2 eggs a day, plus bananas, avocado and asparagus.These are good for Potassium. Drink tonic water (has quinine in it used as a recovery treatment) & Water with Electrolytes to prevent you from becoming dehydrated. Do not drink anything cold - have it at room temperature or warm it up ( have a large thermos of hot water with you each day) Water with lemon, and little honey, peppermint tea, apple cider are good suggestions for getting in fluids. No milk products, or pork. Vitamin’s D3, C, B, Zinc, Probiotic One-Day are good ideas. One aspirin everyday can help prevent getting a blood clot, which can occur from low activity. "
Drink a smoothie of blueberries, strawberries, bananas, honey, tea and a spoon or two of peanut butter.
All phlegm you cough up spit out on a large dark towel by your bed or into tissues & clear all mucas from your nose onto this towel/tissues too otherwise if you swallow any of this you will be ingesting a higher viral load.
For sickness take a 5ml plastic syringe .. give yourself 10ml water every 10 minutes… this will give your stomach just not enough to work on so hopefully will stop or ease the sickness.
We always hear of how Covid takes lives, but there isn't a lot of information out there regarding how to fight Covid. I hope this information helps you or someone you know, just as it has helped me. Ideally stay out of hospital by staying away from masses amount of people, poorly ventilated places, by adapting a healthy lifestyle whilst keeping a healthy weight
Try to be nice during these uncertain times, reduce stress, support each other, be alert to the ever changing events, keep doing your own fact checked research and perhaps compare different trusted news resources from different countries on important matters in the world which affect all of us and above all, stay mentally and physically strong. Then motivate others to do the same. If anyone struggles with any of the above and is ready to improve matters then please feel free to contact me so we can get you to literally move things progressing in the right direction.
