COVID-19 and Nutrition
Nutrition is not a cure for COVID-19, but it is a modifiable contributor to the development of chronic disease, which is associated with COVID-19 severe illness and deaths. A well-balanced diet strengthens the immune system and reduces the risk of chronic disease and infectious diseases.  Every physiotherapist should be aware of the benefits of healthy eating and be able to provide sound nutritional guidance to their patients, especially those with chronic disease.
