The following discussion does not represent medical/health advise by Alor.org, but is for information purposes only. That said, there is opinion by Dr. Mark Hyman, founder of the Cleveland Clinic Center for Functional Medicine, that poor diet, the typical Western diet of processed high sugar food, was a major contributor to ill health from Covid.
“Almost nobody is talking about the reason why America has 5% of the world’s population and at one point had 25% of the world’s COVID cases and deaths,” said Hyman. “It’s because of our toxic diet.” According to a 2021 article in the Journal of the American Heart Association, “Our new research on obesity, diabetes and COVID suggests 63% of U.S. hospitalizations for COVID may have been prevented, due to less severe illness, if we had a metabolically healthy population. … This is a wake-up call to improve our nation’s metabolic health through improvements to diet and physical activity, both for this pandemic and the future ones certain to come.”
