The ideals of modern beauty dictate their own rules to the fair sex. Slender figures, grace, and flying silhouettes are in fashion. And, striving for this ideal, women use different tricks. This is where the law comes into force - demand creates supply. The market is filled with miracle pills, new-fangled diets and the 25th frame technique - supposedly presented as an opportunity to get rid of extra pounds without effort. All these techniques have varying reviews. Most advertised products do not help you lose weight, but harm your body. But still, there are drugs that deserve attention and have only positive reviews. These include, for example, green coffee with ginger, which is a natural, unroasted grain, from which an invigorating drink is obtained.
Properties
The positive effect of unroasted coffee beans on the body is due to the huge amount of chlorogenic acid, which is an antioxidant and has a beneficial effect on the functioning of blood vessels and the heart, and has an anti-inflammatory effect. It blocks the process of fat formation, forcing the body to use up its reserves, actively destroying them.
The benefits of chlorogenic acid in the field of weight loss began to be discussed a couple of years ago. Then the results of using this component were announced in an American show. Further, the reviews were very different. Return to content
Cooking on your own
How to make green coffee? First, of course, you need to grind the grains and brew them correctly during cooking. They can be fried before chopping. This can be done in a frying pan. Next, grind the grain using a coffee grinder. But remember that unroasted seeds are very difficult to grind. We cook using the most common technology for you. A French press, a coffee machine, a coffee maker or a Turkish coffee maker will do. For example, if you like the Turkish brewing method, then we do it as follows. First, add 2 teaspoons of ground green beans and pour cold water. We put the Turk on the fire. Without waiting for the water to start boiling, remove from heat. Repeat the process several times.
The prepared drink is a cloudy liquid, the color of spring leaves with a white coating and an unusual smell, with pronounced notes of tart herbs. Although not very appetizing, it is useful.

How to protect your immune system and recover from COVID-19?
Kamila Tuychieva
Head of the reception department of the K+31 clinic, general practitioner
– In the spring, many people notice a loss of strength and fatigue. As a rule, this is due to sun deficiency after the winter months and a lack of vitamins. As a rule, proper nutrition, vitamin complexes according to indications, breathing practices, moderate physical activity and good sleep help strengthen the immune system in this case.
It is more difficult for those who have recently suffered a coronavirus infection, which affects many vital organs and systems. Unfortunately, these are not only the lungs, but also the brain, cardiovascular, central nervous system, etc. Therefore, doctors often identify post-Covid symptoms such as asthenia, anxiety, muscle pain, muscle weakness, hair loss and others .
In each individual case, these symptoms vary in duration and severity. It all depends on how the disease progressed, how the person eats, what kind of immunity he has, and whether he leads an active or passive lifestyle. Each specific patient who has recovered from COVID-19 and has post-Covid symptoms is given certain recommendations from doctors for rehabilitation after coronavirus. The doctor will also recommend vitamins after Covid. Recovery from coronavirus occurs individually, but there are several universal recommendations on how to recover from coronavirus as an adult.
Recommendations for recovery from COVID-19
Asthenia
COVID-19, affecting the central nervous system, also causes asthenia, a condition accompanied by weakness, lethargy, and general malaise. Those who have recovered from coronavirus infection in severe and moderate form require mandatory comprehensive rehabilitation under the supervision of experienced specialists. One of the components of this rehabilitation is therapeutic exercises, which help with muscle pain, muscle weakness, and also stimulate respiratory function.
Anxiety and irritability
After treatment, feelings of anxiety, irritability, aggression or depression may persist. In this case, you should seek the help of a qualified psychologist, especially if the changes affect the quality of life and interaction with others.
Hair loss
The transferred coronavirus can also provoke the occurrence of so-called diffuse alopecia - this is when uniform hair loss is observed. In severe cases, rapid loss occurs, and in milder cases, with greater frequency than usual. The exact data still varies, but, according to some experts, hair follicles do not die, but only fall asleep, so it is possible to restore hair thickness if you consult a qualified doctor who will prescribe the correct treatment.
How to boost immunity after coronavirus?
COVID-19 is far from the only viral disease that requires long-term recovery. For example, rehabilitation after infectious mononucleosis, herpes viral infections takes a long time, even severe forms of habitual sore throat, influenza or ARVI sometimes leave unpleasant consequences. Moreover, long-term recovery after coronavirus is usually associated not only with the virus itself, but also with the individual immunological characteristics of the body.
To strengthen the immune system in the spring, we can recommend measures that are aimed at the general rehabilitation of the body. But before doing anything, it is advisable to consult with your doctor.
For those who have recently suffered from coronavirus, such a consultation is necessary, because a specialist will select an individual rehabilitation program and tell you what vitamins to take after Covid. If the coronavirus infection is severe, comprehensive medical care may be required with the involvement of highly specialized specialists - a cardiologist, pulmonologist and others.
Balanced diet
- It is advisable to exclude sweets, confectionery, and yeast products. Replace baked goods made from premium flour with bread made from durum wheat and whole grains.
- It is useful to eat sprouted grains - they are a storehouse of nutrients.
- It is recommended to replace dairy products (milk and cottage cheese) with lactose-free products during the recovery period; you can drink plant-based milk. This is explained by the fact that coronavirus infection usually affects older people. As you age, your body has a harder time digesting dairy products because the older you are, the less enzymes you can produce that are needed to digest lactose. In addition, after an illness, the human body is weakened, so it does not need extra stress on the digestive system.

- Meat, poultry, fish. Remember that white meats (rabbit, turkey breast) are better digestible than red ones. If you are not allergic, eat fish. Use green vegetables as a side dish.
- Vegetables. Limit vegetables from the nightshade family (potatoes, eggplants, tomatoes).
- Include foods rich in vitamins C and D in your menu. Vitamin D during coronavirus is a powerful immunoregulator, and C can strengthen the barrier function of the respiratory system. Oranges, black currants, and cranberries are rich in vitamin C. Vitamin D can be obtained from appropriate dietary supplements - up to 50 micrograms of vitamin D per day is required. Vitamins are a good way to restore the body after a mild form of coronavirus.

- Coffee can cause an allergic reaction; it is recommended to replace it with chicory, fireweed, green or black tea.
The main principle of nutrition during the recovery period after Covid is to leave the table with a slight feeling of hunger. In addition, try to eat often (5-6 times a day) and in small portions. Don't eat at night! The fact is that the intestinal immunity “switches on” in the evening and at night, and digestive enzymes are most active in the morning.
Take care of restoring intestinal microflora. Antibiotics can also be used in the treatment of coronavirus infection; the intestinal microflora suffers from this. Therefore, it is important to correct intestinal dysbiosis with probiotics and prebiotics (plant fibers).
Physical activity
The simplest and most accessible type of physical activity for most is daily walks. Start with half-hour leisurely walks. Then gradually increase the time and pace of walking. It also wouldn’t hurt to ask your doctor to choose a set of exercises for you that you can do at home if the weather outside is not very good.
