Asthma & Coronavirus: How A Plant-Based Diet Could Help
New research shows eating a plant-based diet can be a highly effective treatment for asthma. The promising findings carry even great significance as the world continues battling the coronavirus pandemic.
A person asthma is more than six times as likely to die if infected with coronavirus than someone without any underlying issues.
With that in mind, "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll is joined by Dr. Neal Barnard and Dr. Hana Kahleova to discuss their review examining what happens when someone with asthma bulks up on fruits and vegetables and gives up fast food and the Standard American Diet.
Find out the best foods to fight asthma and the ones that can make the condition worse.
This conversation gives hope to the more than 235 million people worldwide living with asthma and could make a dramatic difference if they become infected with COVID-19.
