If this theory is correct, then regular exercise and a healthy diet would not reduce one's risk 76 of getting infected with SARS-CoV-2, but they would reduce one's risk of getting severe 77 disease. We must acknowledge that randomized clinical trials in high risk populations would 78 need to be conducted before we can conclude that exercise and diet would have this 79 protective effect. As an alternative, the protective-effect-of-exercise/diet could be 81 tested in animal models of severe COVID-19 [18] . ./cache/cord-256665-p9vbeffv.txt ./txt/cord-256665-p9vbeffv.txt
