Proning can help elevate oxygenation levels

Many of you might be wondering how proning helps?

Doctors and scientists say proning can help temporarily elevate oxygenation levels. But it’s not yet confirmed that it gets rid of the need for ventilators in extreme cases.

The advice to eat vitamins and minerals and get plenty of sleep is common but very necessary. You can never recover from any illness without resting, also keep in mind that vitamins and minerals are important but not an alternative to a healthy diet.

The advise to eat vitamins and minerals

If you can go out and get some natural sunlight without risking others, it would be really good. But if you can't then try to open windows and let the air pass.

Meghan suggests using a pulse oximeter to measure oxygen levels and that is what the doctors say as well. But she warns that if your oxygen saturation drops below 95 percent, you should contact a health professional.
