Improve Your Immune System with a Vegan Diet

The relationship between food and disease is a very delicate issue, but one and half year after the explosion of the pandemic caused by the Sars-CoV-2 virus, we are going to discuss the relationship between plant nutrition and the Covid-19 disease. So, keep reading and know the important points for living in a safe zone with the help of vegan diet.

Do you get sick less than Covid-19 if you are vegan?

The first thing to clarify immediately is that there is currently no evidence that a plant-based diet is able to reduce the risk of contracting SARS-COV-2 infection, a fundamental and very important clarification.

A strengthening of the immune system and the mucous barrier, and an improvement of intestinal bacterial flora can help in reducing the risk of contagion, obviously in addition to the irreplaceable protective measures recommended.

Vitamin D is also important for the immune system (and not only), but this vitamin is not obtained from the diet (not even from the omnivorous one), if not to a small extent. Sunlight exposure or supplement intake is required.

Antioxidants, from fruits, especially berries, green leafy vegetables, cabbage, whole grains, spices.

Omega-3 fatty acids, mainly contained in walnuts, flax seeds and chia.

Fibres, especially soluble fibres, which keep our intestinal bacterial flora healthy and vital, coming from legumes, cereals, fruit and vegetables.

Fight and prevent certain diseases with the vegetable diet

A plant-based diet is able to act favourably on the pathologies that have been most associated with the serious outcomes of COVID-19: hypertension, cardiovascular diseases and diabetes.

This infection is characterized in fact by complications that can lead to death, and the presence of these pathologies increases the risk of these complications.

In addition: To date, there are many scientific studies available that support the role of plant-based diets in reducing the risk of these diseases, thus profiling their indirect positive effect for COVID-19.

Those who think that prevention in the course of a pandemic can be a late measure, will be pleased to learn that those already suffering from these diseases can reverse the course by embracing a plant-based diet.
