Multiple nutritional deficiencies (MND) confound studies designed to assess the role of a single nutrient in contributing to the initiation and progression of disease states. Despite the perception of many healthcare practitioners, up to 25% of Americans are deficient in five-or-more essential nutrients. Stress associated with the COVID-19 pandemic further increases the prevalence of deficiency states. Viral infections compete for crucial nutrients with immune cells. Viral replication and proliferation of immunocompetent cells critical to the host response require these essential nutrients, including zinc. Clinical studies have linked levels of more than 22 different dietary components to the likelihood of COVID-19 infection and the severity of the disease. People at higher risk of infection due to MND are also more likely to have long-term sequelae, known as Long COVID.

“…Those who followed plant-based diets, consumed total vegetables, and plant proteins, as well as consuming less poultry, red, and processed meats, sugar-sweetened beverages, and alcohol, were found to have a 73% decreased risk of developing severe COVID-19, likely due to the protective role of plants and the inflammatory impact of many animal-based products [ 13 ]. Diets high in sugar were found to contribute to a proinflammatory state and worse outcomes of COVID-19 [ 14 ].…”

Changes in Food Consumption Trends among American Adults since the COVID-19 Pandemic

The quality and quantity of food consumption have changed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In this study, we examined how the COVID-19 pandemic has changed the consumption of different food groups in order to close the research gap by providing current evidence that reflects a later stage of the pandemic compared to other circulating research conducted at earlier stages. Data collection for this cross-sectional study was performed via an online Qualtrics survey from 10,050 adults aged 40–100 years. Nutritional status was measured using the 24-item short-form Dietary Screening Tool (DST) twice: before and since the COVID-19 pandemic. The DST questions were categorized based on MyPlate items, along with fat, sugar, and sweet items, as well as nutritional supplement intake. In addition, the total DST score was calculated for each participant, which categorized them into one of three groups: “at risk”, “possible risk”, and “not at risk”. The results revealed that the consumption of grains, fruit, lean protein, and dairy decreased significantly, while the consumption of fat, sugar, and sweet items increased significantly due to COVID-19. The biggest decreases in consumption of food subcategories were related to whole grain bread and cereal, followed by fruit as a snack, in comparison with other types of grain and fruit. No changes in the consumption of vegetables, processed meat, or supplement intake were seen. The total DST score showed that, before and since COVID-19, the overall nutrition status of adult Americans has been at risk. In addition, of those participants who were not at risk before COVID-19, 28.5% were either at risk or at possible risk since COVID-19; moreover, of those participants who were at possible risk before COVID-19, 21% were at risk since COVID-19. As a good nutritional status can reduce the risk of severe illness or even mortality rate in times of crisis, the findings of this study can help policymakers and health educators to develop heath-protecting behavior sessions against future pandemics to manage crises.

The food and agro supply chain that occurs during the pandemic is the amount of supply available but is constrained by distribution due to a shortage of fleets and resource resources. Perishable agricultural products are wasted, or prices go down due to reduced quality. In this study, the smart contract design that was built was to propose a single wallet specifically for users who could find out all transaction activities carried out by inbound stakeholders, namely production, logistics, and sales in the sugar supply chain at the XY factory. The transactions in the user wallet come from the hash code when the Transaction occurred and the smart contract hash code or algorithm. Because it is a single wallet consisting of several transactions between divisions within the company, the origin of the hash only comes from the user. Meanwhile, inputting the date and volume according to the product, whether it comes from sugar cane or raw sugar, can be traced according to each process such as production, logistics, and also sales by generating a unique smart contract code in the form of a hash. Blockchain-based sugar volume traceability system records all transaction distribution history in an unaltered ledger through smart contract collaboration. An application design presents a transaction response mechanism in verifying the distribution of data entered using a user wallet. All data transaction distribution events are recorded and permanently stored in the Blockchain with a user wallet login. However, all nodes in the supply chain, which are under the supervision of one factory, can participate transparently and reliably.
