    This document discusses dietary practices after COVID-19. It notes that long COVID can lead to malnutrition and impaired recovery. Diet is both a cause and remedy, as nutritional status shapes immune responses. While conventional medicine's understanding is incomplete, traditional wisdom from Ayurveda could provide insights. The document proposes integrating Ayurvedic principles like dosha, region, and season with biomedicine's methods of nutritional assessment, intervention, and monitoring to manage long COVID sequelae through diet. It concludes that Ayurveda's dietary and culinary approaches could contribute to rehabilitation if integrated at the principle level while linking traditional wisdom to evidence.
