Restoring good health in elderly with diverse gut microbiome and food intake restriction to combat COVID-19

COVID-19 becomes an ongoing global threat. The elderly with underlying health conditions are the most vulnerable to this disease. Curing the pre-existing health conditions will greatly increase a person’s resilience to COVID-19 and lower the death rate of the old people. Therefore, as a precaution,...
