Dr. Ranil Jayawardena, Professor of Nutrition at the Colombo Medical Faculty, says that people who have restricted their diet to lose weight and reduce their cholesterol levels before they become infected should not do so until they have recovered from the infection.
Accordingly, people infected with Covid must have all three main meals and it is important to drink as much fluid and water as possible, says Dr. Ranil Jayawardena.
He said it would be important if he could drink at least two and a half liters of water a day.
After suffering from the disease, it is essential to eat, drink water, get enough sleep, exercise and maintain good mental health, says Dr. Ranil Jayawardena.
