[CNN Report: HOW YOUR DIET CAN FLATTEN THE CURVE by Dariush Mozaffarian, Dan Glickman and Simin Nikbin Meydani*]
“The coronavirus outbreak is a humbling reminder of the fragile state of the human condition in our world. No one solution will be enough. We cannot fully contain Covid-19 at this point.
We must face it head-on and bring every tool we have to bear against it and we must be prepared to do this for years to come...
WHAT ROLE CAN FOOD AND NUTRITION PLAY?
We believe there are at least three important ways diet can help alleviate the public health crisis:
1. FIRST, higher intakes of specific nutrients appear to boost the immune system, while low intakes lead to less effective immune responses and higher susceptibility to infection.
Stronger immune systems can help people fight the virus, and may help keep some patients out of the hospital, leaving room for those in most dire need.
Nutrients that may help the immune response include micronutrients like zinc, selenium, iron, and vitamins A, C, D, E, B-6, and folate; with additional potentially promising effects of whole foods like goji berry, broccoli, green tea, and turmeric.
Some of these nutrients may help to reduce excess inflammation and tissue damage caused by the virus that can lead to severe lung injury and failure and even death.
It is too early to know what cocktail of nutrients is the best to counter Covid-19. But we do know that several of these nutrients have shown promising effects for common colds, influenza and other respiratory infections.
With many restaurants closed, take this opportunity to eat healthy foods at home, like: citrus fruits, berries, broccoli, spinach, mushrooms, red bell peppers, sweet potatoes, shellfish, beans, almonds, hazelnuts, peanut butter, turmeric and tea.
These foods may be especially important in older adults, who often eat less of these nutrients and are more at risk of dying of Covid-19.
2. SECOND, experience from other infectious disease outbreaks makes clear that malnourished individuals have a higher risk of becoming ill, a longer duration of illness, and greater risk of death. In the current crisis, feeding people who are at risk is even more important.
3. FINALLY, beyond older age, risk of severe Covid-19 illness and death are highest among people who have other conditions, such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes.
These conditions weaken the heart's ability to handle stress, while diabetes also weakens the immune system. Both cardiovascular disease and diabetes are linked to chronic, low-grade inflammation throughout the body -- which could predispose Covid-19 patients to the severe excess inflammation that contributes to lung failure and death.
A 2019 report by the American Heart Association estimates that 121.5 million adults (more than half of the US adult population) had some form of cardiovascular disease.
114.4 million adults (nearly half of the US adult population) have diabetes or prediabetes.”
I've substantially cut the price of THE REAL FOOD SOLUTION because there is a growing body of evidence and expert opinion that real food IS a solution powerful.
