As more of us become eligible for the Covid-19 vaccine, we are increasingly concerned about preparing, including what to eat and drink before and after we get our shots. Potential adverse side effects, we are warned, range from a sore arm to fever, fatigue, headache, muscle pain, chills, nausea, and diarrhea. 

 

Here are the foods and drinks you may eat and those you should avoid before and after getting the shot to support your immune system and minimize symptoms.

 

Skip alcohol

It is advised to avoid alcohol for a few days before and after receiving the vaccine because it can cause dehydration, which can exacerbate side effects. Drinking alcohol dehydrates and stresses the immune system. Alcohol may help you fall asleep faster, but it also causes sleep disturbances and interferes with overall sleep quality and duration, which in turn can affect immune function. Even moderate alcohol consumption will leave you dehydrated and make the body aches feel worse. Drinking alcohol weakens your body’s ability to fight infections, increasing the risk of complications and making it more difficult to get better if you are sick.
