Eating a vegetarian or pescatarian diet reduces your risk of developing severe Covid-19 when compared to people who eat meat, according to a new study. Plant-based vegetarian diets reduce the risk of moderate to severe Covid-19 by up to 73 per cent and a fish-based pescatarian diet reduces the risk by 59 per cent. Eating a vegetarian or pescatarian diet reduces your risk of developing severe Covid-19 when compared to people who eat meat, according to a new study. Among the 568 cases, 138 clinicians said they had a moderate to severe Covid-19 infection and the remaining 430 said they had a very mild to mild infection. 'Our results suggest that a healthy diet rich in nutrient dense foods may be considered for protection against severe COVID-19,' they conclude.
