A health Diet Can Reduce the Risk and Severity of Covid-19


A Healthy Diet Can Reduce the Risk and Severity of COVID-19
Data from 592,571 participants showed that a healthy diet can reduce the risk and severity of COVID-19. Participants who ate a plant-rich diet, such as plenty of fruits and vegetables, had a 9% lower risk of developing COVID-19 and a 41% reduced risk of developing severe complications compared to those with unhealthy diets.

健康饮食可以降低新冠肺炎的罹患风险以及严重程度
來自592,571 名參與者的數據顯示,健康的飲食可以降低新冠肺炎的罹患風險以及嚴重程度。相較於飲食不健康的參與者,攝取富含植物性食物飲食(例如:大量的水果和蔬菜)的參與者罹患新冠肺炎的風險降低了9%,發生嚴重併發症的風險也降低了41%。

What are the new findings?
A dietary pattern characterised by healthy plant-based foods was associated with lower risk and severity of COVID-19. We found evidence of a synergistic association of poor diet and increased socioeconomic deprivation with COVID-19 risk that was higher than the sum of the risk associated with each factor alone. The beneficial association of diet with COVID-19 risk seems particularly relevant among individuals living in areas of higher socioeconomic deprivation.

Long Covid


Long Covid
COVID-19 can have long-term health effects—commonly described as “long COVID”—after recovery. A recent study published in 𝑇ℎ𝑒 𝐿𝑎𝑛𝑐𝑒𝑡 showed that 68% of patients had at least one lingering symptom after six months. A year later, half still had symptoms, and one third experienced breathing problems. Even after one year, 20% – 30% of those moderately ill and 54% of those severely ill still did not regain full lung capacity. The best way to stay safe is to avoid COVID-19 with good personal hygiene practices and to get vaccinated.

新冠长期症状
新冠肺炎在康复后会对健康产生长期的影响,这通常被称为“新冠长期症状”。最近发表在《柳叶刀》期刊上的一项研究表明,68%的患者在六个月后至少还存在一种症状无法完全消除。一年后,一半的患者身上仍然留有新冠症状,三分之一的患者出现呼吸方面的问题。即使一年后,依旧有20%至30%的中度症状患者,以及54%的重症患者仍未完全恢复肺活量。接种疫苗以及保持良好的个人卫生习惯是避免感染新冠肺炎的最佳方法。
