| Eat Healthy after malaria |
Following recovery from malaria and typhoid, focusing on eating a nutrient-dense, balanced diet that will help your body regain strength and weight is critical. Here are some food suggestions to help with weight gain:
- Protein-rich foods, such as eggs, chicken, beef, fish, beans, and lentils, can aid in muscle growth and repair tissue damage caused by illness.
- Avocados, nuts, seeds, and olive oil are high in healthy fats and can help increase calorie intake and provide energy to support recovery.
- Whole grains, such as brown rice, quinoa, and oats, are high in carbohydrates, which provide energy to your body during recovery.
- Fruits and vegetables: Consuming a diverse range of fruits and vegetables can provide essential vitamins and minerals that promote overall health and recovery.
- Milk, cheese, and yogurt are high in protein and calories, making them an excellent choice for weight gain.
