I ricercatori hanno trovato un collegamento interessante tra una dieta vegetariana e un ridotto rischio di infezione da COVID-19.<\/p>\n

Uno studio, pubblicato sulla rivista Prevenzione e salute della nutrizione BMJ<\/a>, suggerisce che le persone che seguono una dieta prevalentemente vegetale o vegetariana corrono un rischio inferiore (39%) di contrarre l\u2019infezione da COVID-19 rispetto agli onnivori. Anche la gravit\u00e0 dell'infezione era minore in loro.<\/p>\n

Il team ha esaminato vari aspetti dei partecipanti, inclusi i loro modelli alimentari regolari, la frequenza dei gruppi alimentari, lo stile di vita, l\u2019anamnesi e lo stato di vaccinazione contro il COVID-19.<\/p>\n

In base al loro modello alimentare, i partecipanti sono stati divisi in gruppi dietetici onnivori (424) e prevalentemente a base vegetale (278). Il gruppo degli alimenti a base vegetale comprendeva flexitariani\/semi-vegetariani (che mangiavano carne tre o meno volte a settimana), vegetariani e vegani. Solitamente mangiavano pi\u00f9 verdure, legumi e noci, con meno\/nessun numero di latticini e carne nella loro dieta.<\/p>\n

Del totale dei partecipanti, 330 persone hanno riferito di aver avuto un\u2019infezione da COVID-19: 224 avevano sintomi lievi e 106 avevano sintomi da moderati a gravi.<\/p>\n

\u201cGli onnivori avevano un\u2019incidenza di COVID-19 significativamente pi\u00f9 elevata rispetto ai gruppi con dieta a base vegetale: 52% vs 40%. Ed era pi\u00f9 probabile che avessero avuto un\u2019infezione da moderata a grave: 18% contro poco pi\u00f9 di 11%\u201d, hanno scritto i ricercatori in un comunicato stampa.<\/p>\n

Sulla base dei risultati, i ricercatori raccomandano una dieta ricca di verdure, legumi e noci e povera di latticini e carne per evitare l\u2019infezione.<\/p>\n

Gli onnivori avevano un tasso pi\u00f9 elevato di patologie mediche, una maggiore prevalenza di obesit\u00e0 e tassi pi\u00f9 bassi di attivit\u00e0 fisica. Questi fattori sono collegati a un aumento del rischio di infezione da COVID-19, alla gravit\u00e0 dei sintomi e alle complicanze.<\/p>\n

The plant-based food group included flexitarians\/semi-vegetarians (who ate meat three or fewer times a week), vegetarians and vegans.
