Long COVID: what to expect, what to eat and what to avoid
13 Sept 11:31Key points summarised by AI
Long COVID manifests as new or ongoing health problems, such as fatigue, headaches, and attention disorders, persisting over four weeks after initial infection, with severe cases potentially causing organ damage or PTSD.
Support recovery by incorporating probiotics (yogurt, kimchi) and prebiotics (fiber-rich fruits/vegetables) to balance gut microbiome and boost immunity, alongside B vitamins (cereals, fish) for energy.
Prioritize easily digestible, nutrient-rich foods, especially protein, while strictly avoiding junk food, high-fat, spicy, fried foods, and alcohol, which can weaken the immune system and impede healing.
Bright at Midnight: Conceptual echoes of Bas Jan Ader Arrive in Bangkok
Today 15:13Key points summarised by AI
"Bright at Midnight" marks the first institutional exhibition in Asia of Dutch conceptual artist Bas Jan Ader, showcasing his enigmatic work at Bangkok Kunsthalle until January 10, 2027.
The exhibition delves into Ader's legacy, exploring themes of vulnerability and the ephemeral, made more poignant by his 1975 disappearance at sea during an art project.
It encourages viewers to engage with art beyond its material form, featuring key pieces like "Thoughts unsaid, Then forgotten," "Light vulnerable objects threatened by eight cement bricks," and the haunting film "Launch of the Ocean Wave."
A highlight is the planned live transformation of "Light vulnerable objects threatened by eight cement bricks" in 2026, where ropes will be cut, creating a new layer of art from the destructive impact.
The exhibition challenges conventional art consumption, advocating for a deeper appreciation of conceptual and research-driven artistic practices over mere fascination with art as an asset class.
