Abstract

Our social environment shapes our eating habits, notably our consumption of fruit and vegetables rich in micronutrients (vitamins and trace elements), essential for regulating the immune system. Ensuring a balanced intake of micronutrients could prove to be particularly beneficial for patients with severe forms of COVID-19 suffering from critical immune dysregulation.

Keywords: COVID-19; Covid-19; infection; inflammation; nutrition; oligoélément; trace element; vitamin; vitamine.
