Nutritional aspect in COVID-19 infection susceptibility and outcome: New approach to battle against COVID-19 like infections
Abstract
Nutritional status of an individual plays a crucial role in defining the immunity and strength to fight against any infection. The bio-active molecules present in foodstuffs influences the immune system activity. Many micronutrients including iron, calcium, Zn, copper, are the key determinants proper immune system functioning. Adequate protein and calorie intake are necessary to maintain immune cell production and function during illness. Hence, its important to explore the influence nutritional status of the patients, on COVID-19 on and the dietary recommendations for hospitalized patients are addressed so as prevent morbidity. Micro-nutrients like Zn has role in maintaining the integrity of cell membrane and can resist the entry of virus including covid 19 at their entry level. Many fatal cases were been reported to be indicative towards a relationship of poor nutritional status of infective subject. Vitamin D, Vitamin C, calcium, iron etc are formulating model considering all possible combinations of low immunity and poor nourishment status along with other related parameters. Low levels-of Zn, reflect low antioxidant levels of SOD decreasing compromised viral defense. severe COVID-19 patients exhibited vitamin D deficiency, characterized by lower serum levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D, along with higher levels of inflammatory markers compared to asymptomatic patients, while Vitamin C supplementation decreases the hospital stay. All these nutrients will mimic the trigger for cytokine strome, a state of exaggerated immune status and related morbidity.
