Tea, chocolate, wine: food can reduce the risk of coronavirus infection

Scientists from North Carolina State University have found that chemicals in food and drinks help the body fight the coronavirus. More on this in the video "Voices of America".

The best diet during a pandemic is green tea with dark chocolate. Researchers have found that both of these products have unique properties.

According to the tests carried out, the elements contained in these food products block the protease in the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which prevents the multiplication of the coronavirus in the body.

“Any green tea you can find in the store will do. The only differences are in the concentration of ingredients. We tested 5 ingredients in green tea. And their concentration varies depending on the species,” says Professor Deyu Xi.

Scientists' optimism is that green tea is available to almost everyone and has almost no side effects. Moreover, the more saturated the taste of green tea, the more chemical elements it contains.

“Do not mix tea with milk. The components of tea and milk interact with each other and the tea loses its effectiveness. The break between drinking tea and a glass of milk should be half an hour to an hour,” says Xi.

Dark chocolate has a similar effect of blocking the protease that the coronavirus needs to reproduce.

“Cocoa powder is even more effective than dark chocolate. After all, chocolate undergoes processing as a result of which it partially loses the entire integrity of the structure of its components, which makes it less effective than green tea and grape extract,” says Xi.

Some berries and drinks made from them also have a beneficial effect. The most effective are muscat grapes and its derivatives, including red wine.

“Grapes contain beneficial substances primarily in the skin and seeds, and not in the pulp. They are also found in blueberries and cranberries, but in much smaller quantities. The stronger the red wine, the more necessary ingredients it contains,” the scientist notes.

Explaining the results of laboratory studies, scientists say that the components of green tea, chocolate and grapes, when ingested, seem to fill the voids in the proteases, thereby blocking their functions.

Without proteases, the SARS-CoV-2 virus cannot multiply successfully. Tea and grapes completely blocked the multiplication of coronavirus cells. Dark chocolate reduced their activity by half.

According to the results of the study, the professor recommended green tea to students as a preventive measure during a pandemic.

“Several of my students reported that they had COVID-19, and they and their family members were very scared. So I gave three lectures in which I talked about the healing properties of drinks and plants,” says Xi.

The professor believes that taking green tea can alleviate the course of COVID-19. As an example, he cited the story of one of his students, whose sister fell ill. The whole family was advised to drink 2 cups of green tea a day.

“Before the end of classes, I asked her how her sister was doing, she replied that her sister recovered very quickly - within 10 days,” says the professor.

At the same time, the student herself and her mother did not get sick, despite the fact that they lived face to face with the patient, having only masks at their disposal.

The healing and antiviral properties of green tea have long been known to scientists. However, the first documented studies of its incredible benefits in the fight against coronavirus appeared only this fall.

German scientists previously published a study according to which the green hour, chokeberry juice and pomegranate juice killed influenza viruses and SARS-CoV-2 in vitro. All tests carried out, as the researchers emphasize, are still in their early stages. And despite the incredible benefits of a number of products, they will in no way replace either the COVID-19 cure or the vaccine. They can only be used as a healthy diet during a pandemic.
