Mediterranean diet may reduce COVID-19 risk, data suggests

Mediterranean Diet Health Studies
Written By Chef Giuseppe Urbano

New research suggests that following the Mediterranean diet may significantly reduce your risk of contracting COVID-19. This important study was conducted by a dedicated team of researchers based in Indonesia. The team carefully reviewed six different studies conducted across five diverse countries, all involving participants who consistently adhered to the Mediterranean diet. It is well-established that inflammation plays a crucial role in both the development and severity of COVID-19.

The senior author of the review emphasized that the Mediterranean diet has long been recognized for its potent anti-inflammatory properties. However, since this research was observational, it cannot definitively prove that the diet directly protects against the virus.

Overall analyses suggest that high adherence to the Mediterranean Diet is a protective factor against COVID-19. The comprehensive review was published on Wednesday in the respected scientific journal PLOS One.
