<\/div>\n

Watafiti wamepata kiungo cha kuvutia kati ya lishe ya mboga mboga na hatari iliyopunguzwa ya kuambukizwa COVID-19.<\/p>\n

Utafiti, uliochapishwa katika jarida Kinga na Afya ya BMJ Lishe<\/a>, inapendekeza kwamba watu wanaotumia lishe inayotokana na mimea au mboga mboga wako katika hatari ndogo (39%) ya kupata maambukizi ya COVID-19 ikilinganishwa na wanyama wanaokula majani. Ukali wa maambukizi pia ulikuwa mdogo ndani yao.<\/p>\n

Uchunguzi wa awali umeonyesha kuwa lishe inaweza kuwa na jukumu katika ukali na matatizo yanayohusiana na maambukizi ya COVID-19.<\/p>\n

Watafiti kuajiriwa<\/a> Watu wazima 702 waliojitolea kati ya Machi na Julai 2022 ili kutathmini athari za mifumo ya lishe kwenye matukio, ukali na muda wa maambukizi ya COVID-19. Timu ilichunguza vipengele mbalimbali vya washiriki, ikiwa ni pamoja na ulaji wao wa kawaida, marudio ya vikundi vya chakula, mtindo wa maisha, historia ya matibabu na hali ya chanjo ya COVID-19.<\/p>\n

Kulingana na muundo wao wa lishe, washiriki waligawanywa katika omnivorous (424) na vikundi vya lishe vya mimea (278). Kikundi cha vyakula vinavyotokana na mimea kilijumuisha wapenda mabadiliko\/wale mboga-mboga (waliokula nyama mara tatu au chache kwa wiki), wala mboga mboga na wala mboga mboga. Kwa kawaida walikula mboga mboga zaidi, kunde na karanga, bila maziwa na nyama kidogo katika lishe yao.<\/p>\n

Kati ya jumla ya washiriki, watu 330 waliripoti kuwa walikuwa na maambukizi ya COVID-19 - 224 walikuwa na dalili ndogo na 106 walikuwa na dalili za wastani hadi kali.<\/p>\n

"Omnivores walikuwa na matukio ya juu zaidi yaliyoripotiwa ya COVID-19 kuliko vikundi vya lishe vya mimea: 52% dhidi ya 40%. Na walikuwa na uwezekano mkubwa wa kuwa na maambukizi ya wastani hadi makali:18% dhidi ya zaidi ya 11%,\u201d watafiti waliandika katika taarifa ya habari.<\/p>\n

Kulingana na matokeo, watafiti wanapendekeza lishe iliyo na mboga nyingi, kunde na karanga, na bidhaa za maziwa na nyama kidogo ili kuzuia kuambukizwa.<\/p>\n

Omnivores walikuwa na kiwango cha juu cha hali ya matibabu, kuenea zaidi kwa fetma, na viwango vya chini vya shughuli za kimwili. Mambo haya yanahusishwa na ongezeko la hatari ya kuambukizwa COVID-19, ukali wa dalili na matatizo.<\/p>\n

"Mifumo ya lishe inayotokana na mimea ni matajiri katika antioxidants, phytosterols, na polyphenols, ambayo huathiri vyema aina kadhaa za seli zinazohusishwa na kazi ya kinga na kuonyesha mali ya moja kwa moja ya kuzuia virusi," watafiti waliandika.<\/p>\n

Utafiti, hata hivyo, hauanzishi uhusiano wa sababu na athari kati ya aina ya lishe na maambukizi ya COVID-19. Watafiti walitahadharisha kwamba kwa kuwa matokeo yalitokana na kumbukumbu ya kibinafsi na tathmini ya kibinafsi, kunaweza kuwa na nafasi ya makosa.<\/p>\n

"Utafiti huu unaongeza ushahidi uliopo, ukipendekeza kuwa lishe inaweza kuwa na jukumu la kuathiriwa na maambukizo ya COVID-19. Lakini hili linasalia kuwa eneo la utafiti ambalo linahitaji uchunguzi mkali zaidi na wa hali ya juu kabla ya hitimisho lolote dhabiti kutolewa kuhusu kama mifumo fulani ya lishe huongeza hatari ya kuambukizwa COVID-19, "alisema Shane McAuliffe, kutoka Taasisi ya Chakula, Lishe ya NNEdPro. , na Afya, ambayo inamiliki jarida la BMJ.<\/p>\n
