Considering the presented discussion, nutritional and dietary strategies directed at restoring the well-known beneficial microbiota, which can possibly suppress viral infection in the elderly and those with underlying health problems, may be an effective strategy to mitigate the harmful effects of this virus. One approach, as a whole and to be undertaken prior to any viral infection, could include strengthening the intestinal barrier against pathogens, increasing intestinal motility, and reducing an underlying pro-inflammatory state by adopting a Many different direct or indirect microbiome pathways could contribute to SARS-CoV-2-gut interactions. ./cache/cord-350505-uh8r2vyz.txt ./txt/cord-350505-uh8r2vyz.txt
