Those who consume carbohydrates frequently are more exposed to the SARS-CoV-2 virus, because in this case, the cells that fight infections lose their power. Cătălin Cîrstoveanu, head of the intensive care unit for newborns at the Marie Curie Hospital in Bucharest, raised the alarm about nutrition.
The doctor said 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 a population, how we should eat to prevent such things. 100 grams of carbohydrates, fructose, glucose, sucrose administered to an adult severely affects the functionality of leukocytes for a period of 5-6 hours. If it becomes an unhealthy habit in my life, I expose myself to those situations, to pandemics, for example, “said the doctor.
Gnawing on carbohydrates is a danger
In addition, the head of the intensive care unit for newborns at the Marie Curie Hospital in Bucharest also stated that carbohydrate biting is not a healthy habit.
“Eating all day, nibbling on carbohydrates is an extremely dangerous habit for us as a population,” added Cîrstoveanu.
The doctor specified that we should eat more fruits and vegetables without pesticides and less meat, excluding processed. The doctor adds that our diet should contain a maximum of 20% animal protein for adults and 40% for children.
WHO: What foods should an adult eat during a coronavirus pandemic?

Water consumption is also important and sugar, fat and salt should be avoided to significantly reduce the risk of obesity, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and certain cancers.
