This programme is focused on diet in relation to COVID-19.
The questions asked include:
1. Are there any observed differences in COVID-19 patients with high Body Mass Index (BMI) Vs low BMI?
2. Is there any quick boost to our Immune System? for example, taking vitamins like Vitamin C or Vitamin or any other supplements.
3. Are there any observational studies which revealed a benefit of one particular diet over another?
4. Is there any any diet which has shown to be harmful in COVID-19 patients?
5. What is a healthy and a balanced diet?
The guest Sarah Hill has reviewed literature regarding these topics and also given some references of British Dietetic Association (BDA)
to look for further resources about a healthy balanced diet.
Diet in relation to Corona Virus has been a hot topic since the COVID-19 Pandemic, however the evidence based advice was difficult to find, therefore we organised this interview for people to understand the best way to look after their diet and health in current crisis.
