Healthy plant-based diets appear to help reduce the risk of severe COVID-19 and getting infected in the first place, even independent of comorbidities. What evidence exists for nutritional approaches to dealing with long-COVID?

Soon after COVID-19 emerged as a global public health threat, we paused our planned videos here at NutritionFacts.org so I could produce a series of videos (https://nutritionfacts.org/covid-19/) on COVID-19 and write the book How to Survive a Pandemic (https://nutritionfacts.org/book/how-to-survive-a-pandemic/). These resources concentrated on how pandemics arise and how we can mitigate future risk. As such, they remain as relevant as ever, but now that we have several years of data on COVID-19, I can finally answer the question: What’s the role of nutrition in both preventing and beating COVID-19?
