YET, recently research has revealed a link between obesity and the risk of contracting the corona virus or Covid-19. As a result, doing a diet to prevent diabetes is the best choice that can be made during a pandemic.
Associate Professor of the Department of Basic Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, Padjadjaran University, dr. Gaga Irawan Nugraha, dr., SpGK, MGizi suggested that diet should be done, especially for obese people to avoid Covid-19. Because obese people have decreased immunity.
“If obese people still persist in consuming sugar and flour, their immunity will decrease and will be more susceptible to Covid-19. Therefore diet can be an option. The way to diet is also quite easy, ”explained dr. Gaga, in a BNPB TV live broadcast, Tuesday (29/9/2020).
Doctor Gaga said the first thing that must be done is to eat regularly three times a day. Three meals a day include breakfast, lunch, dinner. The menu can still be corn or potatoes and side dishes as well as animal protein, vegetable protein and vegetables.

“Keep three meals a day regularly. Why do I propose to have three regular meals? By eating regularly and at regular times, we will be more inhibited from consuming snacks. Eating three times also keeps us awake for our main nutritional needs, ”he continued.
A person who eats rice and side dishes three times a day, then more than 80% of the nutritional needs that the body needs have been met. Besides that, please stop all obese distractions.
“No sugar and flour, just lots of juicy fruit. No more cakes, no tubers for those who are obese, “he concluded.
