Eating large amounts of red meat, smoked and pickled foods, sweet and strong alcohol reduces the protective properties of antibodies against covid, Sergey Chudakov, head of the NTI HealthNet Preventive Medicine department, told Gazeta.ru.
“Some foods increase the total amount of acid in the body, while others increase the amount of alkali. The first is considered pro-inflammatory, an unfavorable environment creates a background in which immunity works worse, and, accordingly, the protective properties of antibodies against coronavirus are also reduced, ”said Dr.
According to the expert, products that “acidify” the body include primarily red meat cooked in a pan, all smoked and pickled products, desserts, fast food, hard alcoholic and sour wines, coffee, sweet carbonated drinks. Almost all fruits and vegetables are considered to be more beneficial than alkaline, even sour-tasting lemons, green tea, he added.
“Using special test strips, you can check which way the body’s balance is shifted. You can do both a saliva test and a urine test, ”said Chudakov.
