As per a study conducted by researchers at Northwestern University, drinking a cup of coffee per day may reduce the chances of contracting COVID-19. It says one or more cups of coffee per day can reduce the risk of catching COVID-19 by as much as 10 percent. It says, “Coffee consumption favourably correlates with inflammatory biomarkers such as CRP, interleukin-6 (IL-6), and tumour necrosis factor I (TNF-I), which are also associated with Covid-19 severity and mortality.”The Northwestern University study further adds, "Coffee consumption has also been associated with lower risk of pneumonia in elderly. Taken together, an immunoprotective effect of coffee against Covid-19 is plausible and merits further investigation." The study also suggests that eating more vegetables and less processed meat also works favourably to reduce risk of contracting COVID-19.
