Dear Mr. lybrate-user, you had stated that your digestive capacity gradually decreased in months and you are prone to viral infection .had you covid infection? If so all these symptoms may be early or late post covid syndrome. Any way-- you improve your lifestyle with change in food habits like --eating 200 gm of fresh vegetable salads and 100 gm of fresh fruits before your lunch and dinner. Drink a glass of fresh fruit juice like papaya and 1 glass of fresh vegetable juice like carrot at intervals .take fresh ;home-made ; soft ;whole grain containing ;non-oily ;non-spicy food --small quantities--at frequent intervals. Drink 12-15 glass of fluids daily. Do yoga; pranayama;meditation ;moderate exercise like walking for 30-45 minutes daily .develop positive mental energy by positive thinking and action like smiling ;helping others; supporting and encouraging others. Minimise negative energy like anxiety; drpression;hatred; anger; jealousy; selfishness ; fear etc. If you believe in god kindly pray for 15 minutes daily .sleep at regular timings for 8 hours daily .also develod regular bowel habits and good personal hygeine. Try to become little philosophical about the momentary life and our fortunes. Avoid street food; fast food; junk food; preserved food; coloured food; pastries ;colas ;alcohol ;smoking ;counter drugs ; self-treatment etc. Avoid bad friends and spent more time with positive people ;parents and loved ones. If you obey the above guidelines and-- if there is no reduction in your problems in 2 weeks--kindly consult a good gastroenterologist. I am praying for your early complete recovery. Thank you for asking this very important question. Be confident and cheerful--you will be ok with the above corrections in lifestyle and correct treatment.
