Plant-based Diets May Lessen COVID-19 Severity
Research published in the 𝘉𝘔𝘑 𝘕𝘶𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯, 𝘗𝘳𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 & 𝘏𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘵𝘩 found that dietary habits play an important role in the severity of COVID-19 infection. In six countries, plant-based diets were associated with lower odds of moderate-to-severe COVID-19. These dietary habits may be considered for protection against severe COVID-19.
植物性飲食可降低新冠肺炎的嚴重程度
发表在《英国医学期刊营养、预防与健康》上的研究发现，饮食习惯对新冠感染的严重程度起着重要的作用。在六个国家的数据中，植物性饮食与新冠肺炎中度至重度症状罹患率较低有关联。人们可以考虑采用这些饮食习惯来预防严重的新冠肺炎。

A study published in the journal 𝘕𝘢𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘔𝘦𝘥𝘪𝘤𝘪𝘯𝘦 has uncovered strong links between overall health and the composition of gut microbiota. Researchers found that study participants who ate more plant foods had high levels of “good” gut microbes that were linked to a low risk of illnesses.
“Bad” gut microbes are linked to a higher risk of heart disease, diabetes, and obesity—conditions that increase one’s risk of developing severe symptoms if infected with COVID-19.
Research published in the journal 𝘎𝘶𝘵 showed that the composition of gut microbiota reflected disease severity and the likelihood of dysfunctional immune responses in COVID-19 patients.
Consuming more dietary fiber (found only in plant foods) encourages higher levels of “good” gut microbes.
《自然医学》期刊的一项研究发现，整体的健康与肠道菌群的组成之间存在着密切的联系。研究人员发现，摄取更多植物性食物的研究对象体内含有高水平的“好”肠道微生物群，这与低患病风险相关联。
“坏”肠道微生物群，与较高的心脏病、糖尿病以及肥胖罹患风险相关——如果感染新冠病毒，这些疾病都会增加出现严重症状的风险。
发表在《肠道》期刊上的研究显示，肠道菌群的组成反映了新冠肺炎病情的严重程度以及病患免疫功能出现异常状况的可能性。
摄取更多的膳食纤维（仅存在于植物性食物中），能够促进体内更高水平的“好”肠道微生物群。
