2. Garlic
Garlic has had a long and illustrious history when in comes to treating a wide range of ailments, however, there have been a lot of posts on social media (especially Facebook) claiming that species in the onion genus, Allium, can effectively prevent infection.
While it has been recognized for several thousand years as “a healthy food that may have some antimicrobial properties”, the WHO have warned that there’s no evidence that eating garlic can protect people from the new coronavirus.
Although the consumption of garlic in itself isn’t harmful, as long as they aren’t preventing you from following evidence-based medical advice, moderation has still to be observed as a Chinese woman discovered recently after being hospitalized for a severely inflamed throat after consuming 1.5kg of raw garlic.
We know, in general, that eating fruit and vegetables and drinking water can be good for staying healthy. However, there is no evidence specific foods will help fight this particular virus.
