■COVID-19的感染率和死亡率存在很大的地理差异。建议使用含有大量具有生物活性的植物化学物质的食品和饮料来防止感染并促进从COVID-19中恢复。我们研究的目的是确定人们消费的食物/饮料类型与感染COVID-19的风险降低和COVID-19的恢复之间的相关性。
我们开发了一项在线调查,询问参与者是否感染了COVID-19,他们的症状,是时候恢复了,以及他们食用各种类型食物/饮料的频率。这项调查是用10种不同的语言开发的。
■没有感染COVID-19的参与者食用蔬菜,草药/香料,和发酵食品/饮料明显多于感染COVID-19的参与者。在六个国家(印度/伊朗/意大利/日本/俄罗斯/西班牙)中,有100多名参与者,参与者的位置与调查语言之间的高度对应,在印度和日本,感染COVID-19的人恢复时间明显缩短,每天摄入更多的蔬菜,草药/香料,发酵食品/饮料与更快的恢复有关。
■我们的结果表明,蔬菜中包含的植物化学物质可能不仅有助于防止COVID-19的收缩,而且有助于加速其恢复。
UNASSIGNED: There have been large geographical differences in the infection and death rates of COVID-19.
Foods and beverages containing high amounts of phytochemicals with bioactive properties were suggested to prevent contracting and to facilitate recovery from COVID-19. The goal of our study was to determine the correlation of the type of
foods/beverages people consumed and the risk reduction of contracting COVID-19 and the recovery from COVID-19.
UNASSIGNED: We developed an online survey that asked the participants whether they contracted COVID-19, their symptoms, time to recover, and their frequency of eating various types of
foods/beverages. The survey was developed in 10 different languages.
UNASSIGNED: The participants who did not contract COVID-19 consumed vegetables, herbs/spices, and fermented
foods/beverages significantly more than the participants who contracted COVID-19. Among the six countries (India/Iran/Italy/Japan/Russia/Spain) with over 100 participants and high correspondence between the location of the participants and the language of the survey, in India and Japan the people who contracted COVID-19 showed significantly shorter recovery time, and greater daily intake of vegetables, herbs/spices, and fermented
foods/beverages was associated with faster recovery.
UNASSIGNED: Our results suggest that phytochemical compounds included in the vegetables may have contributed in not only preventing contraction of COVID-19, but also accelerating their recovery.
