I believe that these days, my friends are either at home or as a truly chosen migrant worker / epidemic prevention worker, they feel a little uncomfortable in their throat every day. (drink plenty of honey water)

In order to further protect themselves, while reading various virus prevention programs, some friends saw a study published by Northwestern University in Nutrients magazine that coffee could prevent COVID-19, so all kinds of health drinks in the thermos cup were turned into coffee. As a result, I joined Baojuan Theater soon after. Then he forwarded it to the codewriter and began to complain.

So the code clerk went to see the complete post: https://www.mdpi.com/2072-6643/13/6/2114

In this analysis, the researchers included subjects with test results between March 16 and November 30, 2020, and conducted 74878 tests on 42699 UKB participants. The researchers excluded subjects who lacked baseline data on nutritional factors and covariates (nasty 4711). The final study sample included 37988 UKB participants.

The baseline dietary factors in the study included daily intake of coffee, tea, fish, processed meat, red meat, fruits and vegetables. The daily intake of these subjects was recorded in detail.

The results showed that drinking one or more cups of coffee a day was associated with about a 10 per cent reduction in COVID-19 's risk compared with drinking less than one cup of coffee a day. Other conclusions include that eating at least 0.67 servings of vegetables per day is associated with a reduced risk of contracting COVID-19. Eating at least 0.43 servings of processed meat per day is associated with COVID-19 's high risk. COVID-19, who had been breastfed as a baby, had a 10 per cent lower risk than not having been breastfed.

In fact, after a careful look at the process of this study, we can find that coffee! It is not the protagonist to prevent novel coronavirus! The immune system is! The researchers involved also said that caffeine is not the main cause of fighting the virus, and that even if you don't drink coffee / drink only one cup of coffee a day, a balanced diet and exercise can reduce the risk of infection.

From the course of the study, it can be seen that the participants take nutrients from different meats, fruits and vegetables every day, and these nutrients are constantly strengthening the body's immunity. The researchers added at the end of the article that a person's nutrition affects immunity, and the immune system plays a key role in an individual's susceptibility to and response to infectious diseases, including COVID-19.

Coffee may play such a role, but it is not for everyone to drink only coffee! So eat a balanced diet! Take precautions! Doing a good job of disinfection is the last word!

There is coffee in front to prevent COVID-19, and coffee to restore the sense of smell! Coffee can be said to be busy these days. 😂 believes that many friends also read the post "because COVID-19 can recover from the aroma of coffee when he loses his sense of smell" when surfing the Internet.

The article said that coffee beans contain more than 800 aromatic ingredients, which can stimulate olfactory receptors to produce nerve impulses, thereby restoring the sense of smell.

So, the code clerk... I tried! Em... It doesn't work for me. Under the fumigation of hot coffee, it relieves the stuffy nose for a while (only for a short time). But it will take some time to recover when it comes to recognizing the smell.

The reason why some partners have temporary loss of sense of smell is that nerve damage caused by inflammation weakens the smell of the brain, but everyone's inflammation is different. Some partners may have mild symptoms and can return to the olfactory threshold under the stimulation of some unique taste (not necessarily coffee).

So, when you really feel that you can't tell the taste, you can try, but it won't be a problem if you can't. After all, sick, the body needs time to recover, the loss of taste / smell is also a temporary thing, so there is no need to worry too much ~ nothing!

Last,

I hope everyone will take good care of themselves, eat well and do a good job in personal disinfection and protection during this period of time. Everyone can be healthy and happy to welcome the new year!

Come on!
