CORONAVIRUS: How To Eat Healthily While In Lockdown
Behealthy: The UK government is facing calls to launch a healthy eating campaign to educate the nation on how food
can boost the immune system during lockdown.
On Thursday, a group of
leading food policy experts including Tim Lang, professor of food policy at
City University of London, wrote a letter to the environment secretary and
Public Health England’s chief executive, citing evidence that a healthy diet
could help fight off infections.
However, the letter states
that this “vital” information is not being shared with the public.
“In addition to current government measures, clear and
well-informed public guidance is required from the government on what is
nutritionally necessary and sufficient to maintain UK food security and
nutritional appropriateness,” the letter reads.
Meanwhile, the World Health Organisation (WHO)
is also urging people to maintain a healthy lifestyle while on lockdown, saying
it could boost their chances of a fast recovery should they contract Covid-19.
