A study conducted by the Universidade de Sao Paulo in Brazil suggests that individuals following plant-based diets, including vegetarians, vegans, and flexitarians, have a 39% lower risk of contracting Covid-19 compared to omnivores. The research, published in the BMJ Nutrition Prevention and Health journal, analyzed 702 participants in Brazil, noting a higher incidence of Covid-19 (52%) among omnivores compared to plant-based eaters (40%). The study supports the idea that a plant-based diet, especially vegetarianism, may offer protection against Covid-19 infection.
