Abstract

Eating a plant-based, whole-foods diet is an important way to ensure the body obtains its daily requirements of nutrients to fight infections, including COVID-19. This book chapter reviews up-to-date literature of recommended vitamins, minerals, and anti-inflammatory nutrients to prevent and slow progression of COVID-19 infection. This information is important not only for the general population, but also for women and long-haulers with extended impacts of COVID-19 symptoms.
