IMPACT OF DIET ON COVID

Several research papers on how diet affects corona virus.

Conclusion:

• Fermented Foods
• Intermittent Fasting
• Short Supply Chain (eat local b/c less processed)
• Plant-based Diet
• High Fiber Diet
• Sunshine (vitamin D)
• Fresh Air

Note that red meat, glutton & alcohol are all inflammatory. Inflamation contributes to metabolic syndrome & weight gain, thus affecting Covid outcomes. Also note that intermittent fasting favorably affects gut biome.
