Restoring good health in elderly with diverse gut microbiome and food intake restriction to combat COVID-19
COVID-19 becomes an ongoing global threat. The elderly with underlying health conditions are the most vulnerable to this disease. Curing the pre-existing health conditions will greatly increase a person’s resilience to COVID-19 and lower the death rate of the old people. Therefore, as a precaution,...

| description | COVID-19 becomes an ongoing global threat. The elderly with underlying health conditions are the most vulnerable to this disease. Curing the pre-existing health conditions will greatly increase a person’s resilience to COVID-19 and lower the death rate of the old people. Therefore, as a precaution, the author suggests restoring good health in the elderly with the support from a diverse gut microbiome and daily regular food intake restriction, so as to lower the risk of developing into severe case even if they are infected by COVID-19. |
