Alcohol consumption
According to health.com, it has been proven that one glass of wine may not harm your health, but excessive and regular consumption of alcohol can disrupt the immune system.
Researchers have observed a link between excessive alcohol consumption and a weakened immune response. It has been established that such persons are more likely to suffer from pneumonia and have a higher probability of developing acute respiratory distress syndrome, which can affect the development of the disease of COVID-19.
Research findings also mention an increased risk of sepsis, a higher frequency of postoperative complications, poorer wound healing and slower recovery of the body after falling ill with various infections.
