I am sorry, but you have to suppress your desire for tasty food while you’re battling COVID like symptoms. Thus, it’s time that at least temporarily, you stick to basic foods. These include:
- Food that a freshly cooked and warm.
- Rice Soup or Moong Dal soup without salt or fat. (It’s not enjoyable, but you do what you have to do)
- Make sure that you don’t eat till your stomach is full.
