Caused by a string of corona virus (Sars-Cov-2), the condition has had drastic effects. Many people have died, lost loved ones, lost jobs, lost businesses, and lost properties. Immunity helps humans fight against pathogens, and a balanced diet has been promoted as the key means of boosting immunity. More so, certain nutrients such as vitamins and minerals are directly linked to promoting the immune system and particularly facilitating the production of antibodies to fight against specific pathogens, bacteria, or viruses. Since the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic, the promotion of healthy nutrition has been promoted to help the body fight the virus. There has also been an increase in the promotion of certain nutrients such as vitamins A, C, and D, and trace elements like zinc and iron supplements. These enable the immunity to function more effectively, fighting off COVID-19, and developing hybrid immunity which protects survivors even better when vaccinated. Therefore, this paper explores the association between healthy nutrition and Covid -19 to explain the emphasis on healthy nutrition in the pandemic era and clarify any misconception of supplements while promoting effective nutrition to help fight the virus.","PeriodicalId":331461,"journal":{"name":"Food & Nutrition Journal","volume":"113 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133227980","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Sausages and cheeses were tested because they come from animals that can have bioaccumulation capacity. Since formulants of pesticides have been shown to include petroleum residues, such as Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) and metals, in total 24 PAHs were also tested, using accredited methods. Surprisingly, only a few food products contained declared active substances of pesticides above the regulatory threshold of 10 μg/kg. This threshold is not adapted for a real risk assessment, since, for instance, blood testosterone in a man is usually below this level, at which most pesticides are endocrine and nervous disruptors. Metals were detected in all samples, with more Si in non-organic cheeses, but PAHs were found at a maximum of 6.5 times higher in non-organic sausages with 3 carcinogenic ones, in comparison to organic products; this makes a toxicity 6,606 times higher. Due to this large difference for PAHs, and their generally recognised carcinogenic, endocrine, and nervous toxicity, we propose that these could be considered as markers of chemical food pollution, possibly linked to the presence of numerous pesticides below the threshold.","PeriodicalId":331461,"journal":{"name":"Food & Nutrition Journal","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115338336","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
