I try and maintain a good variety of gut bacteria, I buy as many cheeses made from unpasteurised milk as possible and eat as many different coloured vegetables as I can, particularly those inulin rich ones like leeks, onions and the dark green leafy veg. I do buy kefir and eat sauerkraut. A moderate amount of red wine and dark chocolate helps boost antioxidant levels.
I started eating a more Mediterranean diet like this at the beginning of 2020 on the advice of my NHS physio as I had tendinitis and he suggested an anti inflammatory diet. The tendinitis went and I’m convinced the change in diet for both DH and me helped us get over Covid in May 2020 with relative ease. We don’t take any supplements.
