Title (croatian) Sirova veganska prehrana u kontekstu SARS-CoV2 infekcije Title (english) Raw Vegan Diet in the Context of SARS-CoV-2 Infection Author Tanja Grubić Kezele Author Tamara Gulić Author Gordana Blagojević Zagorac Author's institution University of Rijeka Scientific / art field, BIOMEDICINE AND HEALTHCARE Abstract (croatian) Većina osoba zaraženih virusom SARS-CoV-2 razvije blagu do umjerenu koronavirusnu bolest (COVID-19), ali klinička prezentacija i opći tijek bolesti uvelike se razlikuju i uglavnom ovise o zdravstvenom stanju pacijenta prije infekcije. Određeni broj ljudi, posebno onih koji su imali teški COVID-19, ima multiorganske simptome koji traju tjednima, a u nekim slučajevima i dulje od 12 mjeseci nakon infekcije, a neki pokazuju imunofenotip koji podržava kroničnu upalu i može dovesti do razvoja autoimunosti i neuroinflamacije. Nezdrav način života i s njim povezana zdravstvena stanja, posebice pretilost, hipertenzija, dijabetes tipa 2 i hiperlipidemija, povezani su s težim oblicima bolesti COVID-19, ali podatci o utjecaju prehrane na klinički tijek bolesti još uvijek nedostaju. Sirova veganska prehrana ograničava unos nepoželjnih sastojaka hrane kao što su zasićene i nezasićene masti, natrij i dodani šećeri, a istovremeno je bogata voćem, povrćem i cjelovitim žitaricama te stoga ima mnoge pozitivne učinke na zdravlje. Svrha ovog članka je dati pregled čimbenika povezanih s težinom i ishodom bolesti COVID-19, istaknuti sve važne učinke sirove veganske prehrane na zdravlje pojedinca i raspravljati o njima u kontekstu infekcije virusom SARS-CoV-2.
Abstract (english) Most individuals infected with SARS-CoV-2 experience mild to moderate coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), but the clinical presentation and general course varies widely and depends mainly on the patient's health status before the infection. Certain number of people, particularly those who had a severe COVID-19, experience multiorgan symptoms lasting weeks, months, or even years after infection and some exhibit an immunophenotype that supports chronic inflammation and may trigger autoimmunity and neuroinflammation. An unhealthy lifestyle and associated health conditions, particularly obesity, hypertension, type 2 diabetes, and hyperlipidemia, have been associated with the severity of COVID-19, but the data on the role of diet are still lacking. A raw vegan diet limits the intake of unhealthy food components such as saturated and unsaturated fats, sodium, and added sugars while being rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, giving it some serious health benefits. The purpose of this review article is to give an overview of the factors associated with the severity and the outcome of COVID-19, to highlight all the important effects of raw vegan diet on individual health and to discuss them in the context of SARS-CoV-2 infection.
