We are learning more about the coronavirus each day, but deciphering fact from fiction can be difficult. As the global pandemic continues, the internet is exploding with alleged cures and protections from the virus at a time when we so desperately want them. There are claims that certain foods will make a person immune from COVID-19 and that medicines such as ibuprofen can put an already infected person at greater risk of falling gravely ill.   So how do you know what to believe?   This episode of The Exam Room™ podcast is dedicated to getting to the truth. “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll is joined Dr. Neal Barnard who answers your questions about the coronavirus.   What whole foods are best for boosting the immune system?   What about claims that the keto diet can prevent the virus?   Is it true that not eating animal products can protect could prevent pandemics like this?   Are pregnant women more at risk?   Can you get coronavirus more than once?   Can you have the virus and not know about it?   If you become infected by the virus are you certain to become sick or can the body kill it off quickly?   If you would like to submit a question for the doctor please tweet @ChuckCarrollWLC or @PCRM using the hashtag #ExamRoomPodcast.   Schedule a telemedicine appointment with doctors and dietitians at Barnard Medical Center.
