This is the "Most Common" Problem After Getting COVID, Says Expert — Eat This Not That - Eat This, Not That

A new report in the New York Times indicates that 10 to 30 percent of people infected with COVID-19 will go on to develop "long COVID," a wide set of symptoms—including respiratory issues, fatigue, and neurological symptoms like brain fog—that linger for months after the virus has cleared the body and can range in effect from inconvenient to debilitating.

What may be surprising: a new study found that in one survey, 75% of people who developed long COVID had relatively mild illness—they never got sick enough to be hospitalized—and most of them were in the prime of their lives.

"The new study adds to a growing body of evidence that, while patients who have been hospitalized are at greater risk for long COVID, people with mild or moderate initial coronavirus infections — who make up the vast majority of coronavirus patients — can still experience debilitating post-COVID symptoms including breathing problems, extreme fatigue and cognitive and memory issues," the Times said.

Anthony Fauci, the nation's top infectious-disease expert, referred to reports that 30 percent of people infected with COVID-19 may develop long COVID "somewhat alarming.".

Studies have found that being vaccinated reduces the risk of long COVID, even after you've been infected
