Yes, nutrition and in particular some anti-inflammatory and antioxidant substances could play an important role in preventing Covid. Or at least its most nefarious outcomes if you find yourself infected. With the emergency still beyond resolving, in September this year an interesting study was released that reveals the diet to protect yourself from Covid.
And also the role of natural integration. Let’s see it together.

STUDY REVEALS DIET TO PROTECT FROM COVID

As we saw when we talked about nutrition and covid during the first lockdown, there DOES NOT exist, indeed it is fake news, a diet that can make us recover from Covid. Nor a diet that can totally immunize us.

However, more studies have identified an association between a poor diet and the risk of not only having a worsening of the disease, but even a higher percentage of risk. We have for example cited the one conducted in Great Britain by prof. Tim Spector.
Now, on the other hand, a new study, moreover Italian, conducted in tandem by the universities of Rome Sapienza, Federico II of Naples and the University of Agriculture of Reggio Calabria, and which appeared in the scientific journal Foods , gives us some answers.

The study addresses two different perspectives: the strictly nutritional one, exploring the role of a balanced and complete diet in the immune system. And the pharmacognosic and immunonutrition one, in which the single molecules of some plants play a role in weakening the virus, thanks to the anti-inflammatory action.

THE ROLE OF DIET AS A MEANS OF PROTECTION AND PREVENTION

From what emerges from the study, there are many substances that can improve the immune defenses against viruses that attack the respiratory system. Vitamins A, E and D, vitamin C, zinc, selenium, vitamin B9.
Therefore aged cheeses, fish and especially shellfish, olive oil, citrus fruits, almonds and leafy vegetables can help support the immune system. Parallel to these data, there are some compounds that have given encouraging results on the immune system’s response to respiratory and inflammatory syndromes.

They are contained in garlic, cinnamon, green tea, coffee, broccoli and other cruciferous plants, grapes, red wine, turmeric, citrus fruits (especially in the peel), licorice and honey.

THE RECIPES OF HEALTH

Here we find some recipes that we can make to support us in this delicate moment.

First of all the golden milk , turmeric milk.
Metabolic coffee, which contains coffee, ghee (use this instead of coconut oil), cinnamon, raw honey.
The garlic soup , a soup that I always make and which is a marvel against respiratory infections.
Two detox green tea drinks. Buckwheat porridge. 
The detox lemon smoothie. 
Cauliflower cream and winter detox broth. 

And also eat shellfish and blue fish even three times a week, drink a natural pomegranate or blueberry juice every day and, but only if you suffer from low blood pressure, take advantage of some good pure licorice.
