Goverment must give clear advice to public on healthy eating

A letter has been sent to Environment Secretary George Eustice and chief executive of Public Health England Duncan Selbie

The Government is being urged to launch a campaign promoting how healthy eating can boost the body's immune system against the threat of coronavirus.

There is considerable evidence that nutritional status crucially affects our immune responses, food policy specialists have said in a letter to Environment Secretary George Eustice and chief executive of Public Health England Duncan Selbie.

The experts say this "vital" consideration has not yet been reflected in the Government's policy responses to the Covid-19 pandemic.
