Food makes the difference. For those who eat carbohydrates frequently, the cells that fight infection lose their power. That is why, especially now, in the context of the coronavirus pandemic, we must be careful what we eat, tell Cătălin Cîrstoveanu, head of the neonatal intensive care unit at the Marie Curie Hospital in Bucharest.
The doctor says that hyperglycemia caused by unhealthy eating affects the ability of white blood cells to fight infection.
“I think we do very little for the population when we talk about only 3, 7, 10 drugs that help us treat a viral infection that today is called SARS COV2 and tomorrow it will be called something else. We must also talk about what we should do as population, how should we eat to prevent such things. 100 grams of carbohydrates, fructose, glucose, sucrose administered to an adult seriously affect the functionality of leukocytes for a period of 5-6 hours. If it becomes an unhealthy habit of my life, I expose myself to these situations, to pandemics, for example, “said the doctor.
“Eating all day, nibbling on carbohydrates is an extremely dangerous habit for us as a population,” added Cirstoveanu.
He added that we should eat more pesticide-free fruits and vegetables and less meat, the less processed. The doctor adds that our diet should contain a maximum of 20% animal protein for adults and 40% for children.
