Although there is no reported genetic predisposition in contracting COVID-19, the death rate varies among different ethnic groups. All medical experts have been challenged in order to find a scientific remedy for this. While they are working on that, on the other hand people are looking for Immunity boosting products as a temporary countermeasure. Is there a potential correlation between COVID-19 and spice consumption?
The data from 163 countries including total cases, total deaths, and total recovered were analyzed. It was observed that there is a clear interrelated prevalence between the total number of COVID-19 cases per million population tested and the gram of spice supply per capita per day. Nations with lower consumptions of spices per capita showed greater numbers of COVID-19 cases per million population. This is not surprising as herbs and spices are well-known to boost immunity. Although the precise molecular mechanisms associated with spices and immunity are not completely understood, our findings led us to hypothesize that spice consumption plays a role in our ability to fight COVID-19; however, intensive research is needed to determine the translational value of these findings.
