Abstract

The novel coronavirus pneumonia epidemic has been gradually suppressed after three years of epidemic. However, due to the large number of infected people, the sequelae of COVID-19, namely long COVID-19, has become a new public health problem. The WHO defines long COVID as: symptoms still exist 3 months after the COVID-19 infection, and last for at least 2 months. There is no clear explanation for the occurrence mechanism of long-term COVID-19 in the current academic community. Still, the academic community widely recognizes that it has a large number of inflammatory clinical manifestations. The concept of an anti-inflammatory diet has gradually become known and respected. Since the WHO announced in May 2023 that the COVID-19 epidemic no longer constitutes an "international public health emergency", the attention paid to long COVID and its rehabilitation treatment has not been paid as much as to COVID-19 itself. For most infected people, its impact is to be longer than the direct impact of the virus. This review paper summarizes the current research on the symptoms of long COVID and the research results of an anti-inflammatory diet and evaluates the application potential of the sequelae of the COVID-19 virus from a nutritional perspective. Ultimately, the positive role of an anti-inflammatory diet in alleviating long-term COVID-19 will be evaluated, a more economical and convenient method of recovery will be recommended for the vast majority of patients affected by it, and reference and inspiration will be provided for future recovery from COVID-19 and infectious diseases.
