The aim of this review was to identify and examine the systematic and narrative reviews reporting on the relationship between diet or nutritional status and COVID-19.</p> <h3>Methods</h3> <p>This paper is part of an umbrella review of studies related to natural health products and therapies for the prevention or treatment of COVID-19, as a follow-up to a live review that was conducted by the World Naturopathic Federation. PubMed and Google Scholar were searched for systematic and narrative reviews.</p> <h3>Results</h3> <p>Seven narrative reviews and four systematic reviews were included. The reviews included evidence suggesting that dietary patterns and nutritional status are important modifiable risk factors relevant to the prevention and treatment of COVID-19. Three systematic reviews reported an association between poor nutritional status and greater COVID-19 severity or death. Narrative reviews suggested a possible benefit of the Mediterranean diet, fibre-rich diets, and antioxidant-rich fruits and vegetables.</p> <h3>Conclusion</h3> <p>The research suggests that nutrition status is a significant factor in the progression of COVID-19 infection. While more clinical and interventional evidence is needed to precisely understand the impact of diet, dietary constituents, and nutritional status on modifying COVID-19 risk, the findings of this review highlight the importance of following existing dietary guidelines to support healthy immune function.</p> <p>DOI link: <a href="https://doi.org/10.54434/candj.159" target="_blank">https://doi.org/10.54434/candj.159</a></p> <p> </p> </div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/pivot/templates/field.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * field--node--field-author--research-abstract.html.twig * field--node--field-author.html.twig * field--node--research-abstract.html.twig * field--field-author.html.twig * field--text.html.twig x field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/pivot/templates/field.html.twig' --> <div class="field field--name-field-author field--type-text field--label-above"> <div class="field--label">Author</div> <div class="field--item"><p>Murphy M, Aucoin M, Barbaro D</p> </div> </div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/pivot/templates/field.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * field--node--field-date--research-abstract.html.twig * field--node--field-date.html.twig * field--node--research-abstract.html.twig * field--field-date.html.twig * field--datetime.html.twig x field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/pivot/templates/field.html.twig' --> <div class="field field--name-field-date field--type-datetime field--label-above"> <div class="field--label">Citedate</div> <div class="field--item"> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'time' --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'core/modules/system/templates/time.html.twig' --> <time datetime="2023-12-28T12:00:00Z">2023-12-28</time> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'core/modules/system/templates/time.html.twig' --> </div> </div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/pivot/templates/field.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * field--node--field-research-abs-citation--research-abstract.html.twig * field--node--field-research-abs-citation.html.twig * field--node--research-abstract.html.twig * field--field-research-abs-citation.html.twig * field--text.html.twig x field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/pivot/templates/field.html.twig' --> <div class="field field--name-field-research-abs-citation field--type-text field--label-above"> <div class="field--label">Citation</div> <div class="field--item"><p>Murphy M, Aucoin M, Barbaro D.

This review incorporates systematic reviews and narrative reviews as they relate to nutraceuticals. A live literature search occurred monthly in PubMed and Google Scholar from May 2022 to May 2023. Assessing the Methodological Quality of Systematic Reviews Version 2 (AMSTAR-2) scoring assessed systematic review quality, while the Scale for the Assessment of Narrative Review Articles (SANRA) guidelines evaluated narrative reviews. Only those studies that were relevant to the nutraceuticals outlined above and that addressed COVID-19 prevention and/or treatment of CV and/or long CV were extracted from each review.</p> <h3>Results</h3> <p>Fifteen narrative reviews and 16 systematic reviews were included in this umbrella review. Studies indicate that nutraceuticals may be beneficial in improving the rate of recovery from various COVID-19 symptoms, rate of conversion parameters such as rate or duration of hospital stay and risk of intensive care unit (ICU) admission, and an improvement in various laboratory tests.</p> <h3>Conclusion/Summary</h3> <p>The broad antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, and immune modulatory characteristics make the nutraceuticals included in this review reasonable choices for further research. Of the nutraceuticals discussed above, probiotics, melatonin, NAC, and quercetin indicate the greatest potential for benefit in the prevention and treatment of COVID-19 and long CV.</p> <p>DOI link: <a href="https://doi.org/10.54434/candj.165" target="_blank">https://doi.org/10.54434/candj.165</a></p> <p> </p> </div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/pivot/templates/field.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * field--node--field-author--research-abstract.html.twig * field--node--field-author.html.twig * field--node--research-abstract.html.twig * field--field-author.html.twig * field--text.html.twig x field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/pivot/templates/field.html.twig' --> <div class="field field--name-field-author field--type-text field--label-above"> <div class="field--label">Author</div> <div class="field--item"><p>Karzon R, Jackson A, Lloyd I, Hall A, Lee L</p> </div> </div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/pivot/templates/field.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * field--node--field-date--research-abstract.html.twig * field--node--field-date.html.twig * field--node--research-abstract.html.twig * field--field-date.html.twig * field--datetime.html.twig x field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/pivot/templates/field.html.twig' --> <div class="field field--name-field-date field--type-datetime field--label-above"> <div class="field--label">Citedate</div> <div class="field--item"> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'time' --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'core/modules/system/templates/time.html.twig' --> <time datetime="2023-12-28T12:00:00Z">2023-12-28</time> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'core/modules/system/templates/time.html.twig' --> </div> </div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/pivot/templates/field.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * field--node--field-research-abs-citation--research-abstract.html.twig * field--node--field-research-abs-citation.html.twig * field--node--research-abstract.html.twig * field--field-research-abs-citation.html.twig * field--text.html.twig x field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/pivot/templates/field.html.twig' --> <div class="field field--name-field-research-abs-citation field--type-text field--label-above"> <div class="field--label">Citation</div> <div class="field--item"><p>Karzon R, Jackson A, Lloyd I, Hall A, Lee L.

Movement and exercise incorporate sedentary behaviours, various forms of exercise, breathing and respiratory therapies, and yoga-asanas (postures).</p> <h3>Methods</h3> <p>This paper progresses from a live review and incorporates systematic reviews and narrative reviews. A literature search occurred monthly using PubMed and Google Scholar from May 2022 to May 2023. A measurement tool to assess systematic reviews (AMSTAR) scoring assessed systematic review quality, while the scale for the assessment of narrative review articles (SANRA) guidelines were used to evaluate narrative reviews. Only information and data focused on movement and exercise relevant to COVID-19 prevention and/or treatment were extracted from each review.</p> <h3>Results</h3> <p>Three narrative reviews and five systematic reviews were included. Sedentary behaviours increased significantly during the pandemic. Decreased physical activity level was associated with risk of hospitalization from COVID-19. Physical activity and breathing exercises, whether conducted face-to-face (F-2-F) or via telerehabilitation were associated with improvement in dyspnea (shortness of breath), exercise capacity, lung function, fatigue, and quality of life (QoL). Extreme exercise is best avoided for at least 2 to 3 weeks after severe COVID-19 symptoms.</p> <h3>Conclusion</h3> <p>Sedentary behaviour and lack of regular physical activity is correlated with an increased risk of COVID-19. Various forms of movement, exercise, and breathing may be beneficial in the treatment of COVID-19 and in long COVID. Further research and understanding of the importance of movement, exercise, and breathing as it relates to immune health is warranted.</p> <p>DOI link: <a href="https://doi.org/10.54434/candj.163" target="_blank">https://doi.org/10.54434/candj.163</a></p> <p> </p> </div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/pivot/templates/field.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * field--node--field-author--research-abstract.html.twig * field--node--field-author.html.twig * field--node--research-abstract.html.twig * field--field-author.html.twig * field--text.html.twig x field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/pivot/templates/field.html.twig' --> <div class="field field--name-field-author field--type-text field--label-above"> <div class="field--label">Author</div> <div class="field--item"><p>Carter T, O’Brien C, Akinbode T, Lloyd I</p> </div> </div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/pivot/templates/field.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * field--node--field-date--research-abstract.html.twig * field--node--field-date.html.twig * field--node--research-abstract.html.twig * field--field-date.html.twig * field--datetime.html.twig x field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/pivot/templates/field.html.twig' --> <div class="field field--name-field-date field--type-datetime field--label-above"> <div class="field--label">Citedate</div> <div class="field--item"> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'time' --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'core/modules/system/templates/time.html.twig' --> <time datetime="2023-12-28T12:00:00Z">2023-12-28</time> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'core/modules/system/templates/time.html.twig' --> </div> </div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/pivot/templates/field.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * field--node--field-research-abs-citation--research-abstract.html.twig * field--node--field-research-abs-citation.html.twig * field--node--research-abstract.html.twig * field--field-research-abs-citation.html.twig * field--text.html.twig x field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/pivot/templates/field.html.twig' --> <div class="field field--name-field-research-abs-citation field--type-text field--label-above"> <div class="field--label">Citation</div> <div class="field--item"><p>Carter T, O’Brien C, Akinbode T, Lloyd I.

It is a follow-up to a live review that was conducted by the World Naturopathic Federation between May 2022 and May 2023. PubMed and Google Scholar were searched for systematic and narrative reviews that met defined quality criteria.</p> <h3>Results</h3> <p>Over half of the initial systematic reviews were excluded as they did not meet the inclusion and AMSTAR criteria. The final paper included 25 narrative reviews and 41 systematic reviews (SR), with half of the SRs reporting on the safety of herbal interventions. Various therapeutic properties of over 60 herbal medicines were outlined, some individually and most of them as part of herbal formula (combinations).</p> <h3>Conclusion/Summary</h3> <p>Herbal interventions demonstrated statistically significant improved recovery in patients with COVID-19. The most common therapeutic properties identified were immunological properties, anti-inflammatory, anti- microbial, and antioxidant while the most frequently investigated herbs were Glycyrrhiza glabra/uralensis, Tinospora cordifolia, and Curcuma longa. More attention is needed on the regulation of herbal medicines, the quality of research, and the safety of herbal medicines.</p> <p>DOI link: <a href="https://doi.org/10.54434/candj.161" target="_blank">https://doi.org/10.54434/candj.161</a></p> <p> </p> </div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/pivot/templates/field.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * field--node--field-author--research-abstract.html.twig * field--node--field-author.html.twig * field--node--research-abstract.html.twig * field--field-author.html.twig * field--text.html.twig x field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/pivot/templates/field.html.twig' --> <div class="field field--name-field-author field--type-text field--label-above"> <div class="field--label">Author</div> <div class="field--item"><p>Oakes K, Saunders P, Lloyd I, Turner T, Gruska J, Gibbs B, Gleitzman S, Portella CF, Friend J, Graham K, Leslie M</p> </div> </div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/pivot/templates/field.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * field--node--field-date--research-abstract.html.twig * field--node--field-date.html.twig * field--node--research-abstract.html.twig * field--field-date.html.twig * field--datetime.html.twig x field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/pivot/templates/field.html.twig' --> <div class="field field--name-field-date field--type-datetime field--label-above"> <div class="field--label">Citedate</div> <div class="field--item"> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'time' --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'core/modules/system/templates/time.html.twig' --> <time datetime="2023-12-28T12:00:00Z">2023-12-28</time> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'core/modules/system/templates/time.html.twig' --> </div> </div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/pivot/templates/field.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * field--node--field-research-abs-citation--research-abstract.html.twig * field--node--field-research-abs-citation.html.twig * field--node--research-abstract.html.twig * field--field-research-abs-citation.html.twig * field--text.html.twig x field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/pivot/templates/field.html.twig' --> <div class="field field--name-field-research-abs-citation field--type-text field--label-above"> <div class="field--label">Citation</div> <div class="field--item"><p>Oakes K, Saunders P, Lloyd I, Turner T, Gruska J, Gibbs B, Gleitzman S, Portella CF, Friend J, Graham K, Leslie M.

Despite four approved vaccines for COVID-19 in Canada, there is still a need for effective treatments, especially for people in the community. Vaccine efficacy is not 100% and long-term efficacy is still unknown. Furthermore, there are challenges to herd immunity including vaccine hesitancy and underlying conditions preventing vaccination. We aim to explore if the nutrients vitamin C, vitamin D, vitamin K2 and zinc are an effective treatment option for outpatients diagnosed with COVID-19. The primary outcome is the difference in participant-reported overall health; secondary outcomes include the effect on health status, symptom severity and duration, frequency and length of hospitalisations and mortality.</p> <h3>Methods and analysis</h3> <p>This study is a two-arm, parallel-group, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase III randomised controlled trial. 200 patients will be recruited remotely from COVID-19 test centres in Ottawa, Canada associated with The Ottawa Hospital. Overall health will be measured using the EuroQol Visual Assessment Scale; health status will be measured using the EuroQol 5-dimension 5-level questionnaire; symptom severity and duration will be measured using an independently developed questionnaire; analyses will use an area under the curve approach and compare mean scores using unadjusted t tests. Study data will be recorded on electronic case report forms using the Research Electronic Data Capture platform. An independent data safety and monitoring board will perform ongoing review of the study for feasibility and safety.</p> <h3>Ethics and dissemination</h3> <p>This study has received ethical approval from the research ethics boards of the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine and the Ottawa Health Sciences Network, as well as regulatory approval from the Therapeutic Products Directorate and Natural and Non-Prescription Health Products Directorate of Health Canada. Results will be published in a peer-reviewed scientific journal with open access.</p> <p>DOI Link: <a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.1136/bmjopen-2021-057024" target="_blank">http://dx.doi.org/10.1136/bmjopen-2021-057024</a></p> <p> </p> </div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/pivot/templates/field.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * field--node--field-author--research-abstract.html.twig * field--node--field-author.html.twig * field--node--research-abstract.html.twig * field--field-author.html.twig * field--text.html.twig x field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/pivot/templates/field.html.twig' --> <div class="field field--name-field-author field--type-text field--label-above"> <div class="field--label">Author</div> <div class="field--item">Mark Legacy, Dugald Seely, Ellen Conte, Athanasios Psihogios, Tim Ramsay, Dean A Fergusson, Salmaan Kanji, John-Graydon Simmons, Kumanan Wilson</div> </div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/pivot/templates/field.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * field--node--field-date--research-abstract.html.twig * field--node--field-date.html.twig * field--node--research-abstract.html.twig * field--field-date.html.twig * field--datetime.html.twig x field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/pivot/templates/field.html.twig' --> <div class="field field--name-field-date field--type-datetime field--label-above"> <div class="field--label">Citedate</div> <div class="field--item"> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'time' --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'core/modules/system/templates/time.html.twig' --> <time datetime="2022-03-03T12:00:00Z">2022-03-03</time> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'core/modules/system/templates/time.html.twig' --> </div> </div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/pivot/templates/field.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * field--node--field-research-abs-citation--research-abstract.html.twig * field--node--field-research-abs-citation.html.twig * field--node--research-abstract.html.twig * field--field-research-abs-citation.html.twig * field--text.html.twig x field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/pivot/templates/field.html.twig' --> <div class="field field--name-field-research-abs-citation field--type-text field--label-above"> <div class="field--label">Citation</div> <div class="field--item">Legacy M, et al.
