Are you also thinking of getting back to your fitness routine post-Covid?

Rhea Singh Anand, co-founder, Flexnest shared in an earlier interview with indianexpress.com that “there is no one size that fits all”. Each person’s recovery is different and depends on their body, immunity levels, severity of the infection, and the various after-effects. This is the time to go slow and listen to your body. This is when you should relax and give your body the required time to heal and recover, she said.

The first few weeks post recovery are all about regaining lung strength for which breathing exercises are advised. To do so, practice basic exercises like diaphragmic breathing, blowing balloons, or using spirometers. “You should focus on regaining your flexibility and mobility and can indulge in light stretches. Additionally, you can also start walking at a comfortable pace for 10 minutes twice a day,” she said.

The intensity should only be increased post a substantial amount of time and once the body feels right.

In an earlier Instagram post, ayurvedic practitioner Dr Dixa Bhavsar said, “One should start with slow walks, mild stretching and continue with breathwork. Pranayamas are best to practice during and post-Covid. It helps improve immunity and keeps your oxygen levels optimum.”

She also shared a few diet tips.

*Eat only home-cooked, fresh and warm foods.
*Don’t eat raw foods as they’re difficult to digest.
*Avoid sweet fruits. Favour sour over sweet and make sure you eat fruits before 4 pm so you can digest them well.
*Drink herbal teas between meals.
*Favour light (easy to digest food) and also nourishing foods like khichdi with spices.
*Stay hydrated.
