Bipasha Basu advised to follow these 3 simple steps before you get the vaccine dose:

1. Take a good night sleep

Want to get the most out of the Covid-19 vaccine? Make sure you get proper and a good sleep before you get your shot of vaccine. 

So, Bipasha informed her followers that, “you should always be sleeping well but the night before is important. Science shows us how better and deeper sleep will make the antibody mechanism more powerful hence, the vaccine more effective.”

In fact, ever since the vaccination campaign began, healthcare experts are advising people to sleep properly before and after getting the vaccination because it is an important factor with respect to building a strong immune system.

2. Stay hydrated

Drinking adequate amounts of water is important for the body to function properly and prevents you from dehydration and carries nutrients and oxygen to your cells. Hydration by way of drinking water before the vaccine contributes to your well-being and that’s what Bipasha suggested.

3. Consume zinc-rich foods

Bipasha specifically advised that “take your zinc supplement or eat zinc-rich foods such as flax, pumpkin seeds, almonds, walnuts, sesame seeds, eggs, legumes, lentils, dairy, poultry, whole grains, fruits, veggies.”

This is an important point as zinc deficiency adversely affects the growth and functioning of immunity enhancing cells. Zinc rich foods boost immunity, lower blood pressure, improve oxygen levels, fight inflammation, improve digestive health and support brain health.

In the end, Bipasha also highlighted the Placebo and nocebo effect of “no fear”.  On getting the vaccine, she added “take it with faith or belief, no point imagining the worst and expecting the best. Intend for it to be safe and work for you in the best way possible in divine order and your highest good – that’s all!”
