Summary
Dr. Neal Barnard is back on The Exam Room™ podcast to answer your coronavirus questions. He joins "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll and Dr. Jasmol Sardana for the latest in the Q&A series dedicated to keeping you and your family healthy during the COVID-19 pandemic. On this episode, the group tackles everything from the temperature food needs to reach during cooking in order to kill the virus to washing techniques for conventional produce compared to organic to whether there is any data available on how people eating a plant-based diet fare in combatting the coronavirus.
Among the other questions answered
- How much protein does a person need if they're infected with COVID-19?
- Is it possible to have two viruses in the body at the same time?
- Does microwaving food kill the coronavirus?
- Does vinegar destroy COVID-19?
We will also hear from Dr. Jia Xu who is stationed in Beijing, China. Dr. Xu provides an update on how life is progressing as mandatory lockdowns are lifted. He and Chuck also discuss whether plant-based eating will become more popular following the outbreak and if the public perception of live animal markets ("wet markets") where the virus originated has changed.
