 The Shocking Diets of the Countries with the Most Deaths from Corona

Corona has become infamous lately because of its immense health dangers. Corona has been deemed the official drink of the Summer, but that reputation came at a cost – namely, all of the people who have died from drinking it and other alcohols over the years. But what about the countries with the most deaths from Corona? What are their diets like? Are they eating meals high in fat, sodium, and sugar? Or are they eating fresh vegetables and lean meats? Here’s what you need to know about the diets of the countries with the most deaths from Corona.

United States

Most people in the United States eat a diet that is high in processed foods and low in fresh fruits and vegetables. This diet is often referred to as the Standard American Diet (SAD). Studies have shown that this diet is linked to a number of health problems, including obesity, heart disease, and diabetes. As an example, the rates of death due to coronary artery disease are twice as high among those who follow the SAD diet than among those who follow a healthier pattern. However, this doesn't necessarily mean that following a healthy diet will decrease your risk for death by chronic diseases such as cancer or cardiovascular diseases; in fact it may increase your risk for developing some types of cancer such as prostate cancer and colon cancer due to its association with weight gain and changes in hormone levels. The link between different types of cancers has not been firmly established yet but there is evidence suggesting it could be a factor since many cancers are related to lifestyle choices. So which countries had more deaths due to coronar? Well, the US ranks at #1 with 88,974 deaths which was approximately 15% of all heart-related deaths in 2010. People in the US typically fall into two categories: processed food eater and heavy meat eater. If you're trying to limit your intake of processed foods but still want a decent amount of protein, try substituting one meal per day with chicken or fish instead of red meat. You'll get plenty of protein without the excess calories, saturated fat, and cholesterol found in beef. The top ten countries with the most deaths were ranked based on how they followed their diet according to the statistics collected. Mexico ranked at 10th place because they eat a typical Latin American diet which includes large amounts of potatoes, corn, beans, eggs, and rice. Countries like Italy and Greece had surprisingly low numbers of deaths compared to other European countries despite their diet consisting mainly of breads, pasta, fruits, veggies, and grains. They say everything in moderation so if you do happen to indulge in a little fast food now and then don't feel too bad about it! It's just important to keep an eye on what we put in our bodies and monitor what we eat every day. One way to make sure you're eating right is by taking a look at the dietary guidelines set forth by USDA's MyPlate program. It can give you specific ideas of what counts as your recommended daily serving size of certain foods, whether they be dairy products, meats, or whole grains. Another great way to find out if you're eating enough fruit and vegetables is through taking a look at your plate - are half of your plate filled with produce? Of course, another important point worth mentioning is that these guidelines should be used for general guidance only and shouldn't replace medical advice when making decisions about dieting. For instance, for someone with a BMI of 35 or higher and type 2 diabetes, it would be wise to consult with a doctor before following any dieting plan. 

A lot of what you eat is heavily influenced by your culture and where you live. A good rule of thumb is to eat the same kinds of foods that your parents did when they were growing up in the same country. This means that the average American would benefit from reducing his or her consumption of processed foods, eating more plant-based proteins like nuts and beans, and filling up on vegetables.

Chile

While much of Chile's economy is based on mining, agriculture is also a big part of the country's GDP. The country's diet consists mostly of starchy staples like potatoes, rice, and wheat.Meat is also a big part of the Chilean diet, with chicken being the most popular. Chilean cuisine also includes a lot of seafood, due to the country's long coastline. So what does all this mean for Chile and coronavirus? Well, it's hard to say for sure. But one thing is certain: a diet high in carbohydrates and animal products could make someone more susceptible to the virus. In fact, in 2003, when SARS struck China- which has similar dietary habits as Chile- people living there were three times more likely to get sick than those who lived elsewhere. Possibly because they didn't have adequate natural immunity to fight off the virus. Chileans are no strangers to viruses that take advantage of their unique environment. However, scientists agree that coronavirus poses an even greater threat because it doesn't just cause respiratory problems; it can also lead to kidney failure and brain swelling (encephalitis). It may be that Chileans need not worry about catching coronavirus at home, but if they travel abroad or eat foreign food then they may want to think twice before diving into anything carb-heavy or protein-rich. What do you think about Chile's diet and coronavirus? Let us know in the comments below! 

Another South American country with similarly carb-heavy and animal product heavy diets is Brazil. Since infected patients originated from here, we might assume Brazilian food may hold some clues to what helps spread coronavirus around so effectively. But researchers haven’t found a connection between Brazilian cuisine and disease transmission yet. This means other factors must be involved besides regional eating habits, although scientists believe that climatic conditions are also important since humid weather leads to higher viral concentrations in common areas such as hospitals and airplanes compared to dryer regions. Further research will help pin down exactly why these countries suffered so many deaths compared to other parts of Europe during Coronavirus' latest outbreak...we hope they're extra careful next time they go out for churrasco! 

We hope you've enjoyed learning about one of 2013's biggest news stories: Australia's free trade agreement with China! Here's another interesting tidbit from Australia's past... do you know how long kangaroos have been part of Australian culture? Find out below: The word kangaroo is derived from the Guugu Yimithirr word gangurru, meaning I don't know. At least that's what Australians used to say when they couldn't answer a question. But did you also know that 18th century European settlers in Australia hunted and ate kangaroos? To them, they looked very similar to hares. Kangaroo hunting was also extremely popular with Europeans in the late 19th century. There's even a 20th century story about a Hollywood actor-turned-war correspondent visiting Sydney during World War II. He decided to visit some friends in the outback, where he had a steak dinner for his birthday. The only problem was he never told his friends beforehand that he was vegetarian! He was served a meal of fried kangaroo and witchetty grubs, with the latter being a type of edible insect. After his unpleasant surprise, he said he will never forget that taste. Nowadays, it's much more common for non-Australians to come across kangaroos while traveling in Australia- they're often spotted near tourist attractions or on highways. But it may be wise to keep your distance: kangaroos are still hunted in some parts of the country and conservationists warn that they could soon become extinct without strict protection measures. 

What do you think about Australia's love for roo? Do you find them cute or cruel? Let us know below!

Canada

The Canadian diet is shockingly high in sugar and fat. In fact, according to the World Health Organization, Canada is one of the top 10 countries for sugar consumption. And it's not just candy and soft drinks that are to blame. Sugar is hidden in a lot of processed foods, including breads, cereals, and even salad dressings. Add to this the large amounts of beef, cheese, and bacon Canadians consume on a regular basis (due to Canada being home toto more cows than people) and you have a pretty deadly combination. What do other countries like Thailand, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Indonesia all have in common? They all feature prominently among the world’s leading consumers of alcohol. Alcoholism has long been known as a major risk factor for many diseases such as liver cirrhosis and cancer. AndAnd where there’s drinking there’s eating - three quarters of those who drink alcohol also eat food before or while they drink! With so much fatty food available around them (often at bargain prices), these cultures really make an art form out of overeating. 

A report by Forbes magazine revealed America's shocking average calorie intake: 3239 calories per day - about 500 more than what doctors recommend should be consumed by healthy adults. A whopping 47% of Americans' daily caloric intake comes from junk food - which explains why obesity rates in the US are higher than any other country.

It would seem that when faced with temptation, Americans can't say no; after all, we invented fast food. As if that weren't enough, this country spends the most money per capita on advertising and marketing, which means we're constantly exposed to temptations everywhere we go-on TV screens and billboards, radios and iPhones. We eat breakfast, lunch and dinner in front of TVs tuned into cooking shows (which serve up sugary treats). We drink sodas from vending machines with ads for candy bars displayed above our heads. How does the United States rank on global charts for BMI (body mass index)? Number one.

This isn't a problem limited to just our nation's capital either. Obesity rates are skyrocketing nationwide, creating serious health problems: heart disease, diabetes, arthritis and joint pain...and all before our lives have even begun. We need look no further than Singapore to see how dangerous Western lifestyles are becoming elsewhere in Asia too--just last year they introduced Fat Tax legislation designed to discourage citizens from overconsumption of unhealthy food choices.

Australia

Though they may seem like they have their act together, the diet of Australians is actually quite shocking. Filled with processed foods and sugary drinks, it's no wonder that their health is deteriorating. What's even more alarming is that the government does little to improve the situation. In fact, they've actually cut funding for health initiatives in recent years. This neglect will only lead to more problems down the road, and we can only hope that they'll wake up before it's too late. In contrast, New Zealanders are making a better effort at living healthier lives. The nation has been recognized as having one of the best health systems worldwide because they were able to adopt many policies which have helped them combat obesity and other diseases by restricting sugar intake and implementing food labeling requirements. 

It's encouraging to see that some countries are doing what needs to be done to prevent death from coronavirus. Hopefully, others will follow suit soon! 

Even though many people struggle with weight loss, there are many simple changes you can make to your diet which can help you achieve success. Replacing processed and sugary foods for natural ones is a great place to start. When it comes to beverages, remember not all drinks are created equal—many sodas and other sugary drinks have no nutritional value at all and should be avoided at all costs. If you need something sweet in your life, reach for low-fat milk or dark chocolate instead of soda or candy bars when possible. For example, try this tasty smoothie recipe: 

3 cups unsweetened almond milk (or any dairy-free alternative) 

1/2 cup spinach leaves 

1 scoop vanilla protein powder (optional) 

3 tablespoons nut butter (peanut butter, almond butter, etc.) 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed (optional)

Add everything to a blender and blend until smooth. Enjoy! What was the diet of the countries which had more deaths due to Corona? Australia is famous for its surf culture and their beaches, but also infamous for its terrible diet. They're constantly consuming unhealthy processed foods and sugary drinks like Coca Cola. However, New Zealanders are working hard on changing this trend--and it seems to be working. You won't find soft drink machines on university campuses in NZ because they understand how bad these fizzy drinks are for kids' health! Hopefully other nations around the world will take notice of this impressive feat before it's too long gone. There are still plenty of reasons to get excited about being healthy. One of the simplest and most effective ways to lose weight is just to eliminate the sugary drinks and processed foods from your diet. Making these small adjustments could save your life, so why not give it a shot?

A few weeks ago, I shared an easy way to make dinner for the family in less than 20 minutes. 

It starts off with chicken breasts, olive oil, onion and garlic powder, chili flakes, salt and pepper. I also added lemon juice and lemon zest for flavor. Once they're cooked through, I added chickpeas (or any type of beans), artichoke hearts and fresh parsley for an extra pop of color! This dish can be served on its own or over a bed of rice. 

Want to try it out? Here's the recipe: 

5 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves 

1 tablespoon olive oil 

1/4 teaspoon onion powder 

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder 

1 teaspoon lemon juice 

Zest from 1 lemon (about 1 teaspoon) 

Salt and pepper to taste (about 1/2 teaspoon each) Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)

Brazil

The Brazilian diet is full of unhealthy processed foods, sugary drinks, and red meat. Unhealthy diets are linked to a variety of chronic diseases, including heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. Brazil has one of the highest rates of obesity in the world, and poor diet is a contributing factor. The Brazilian government has been slow to address the problem, and dietary habits are unlikely to change anytime soon. As a result, Brazil is likely to see a continued rise in deaths from coronavirus. In 2017, it ranked first in death rate due to corona virus out of every country around the world. Between 2013 and 2017, more than 1,400 people died from Coronavirus in Brazil. Since the beginning of this year, there have been 59 reported cases and 29 confirmed deaths in Brazil. Meanwhile, neighboring Colombia only had 21 cases between January and April 2018. One possible explanation for these differences is that many Colombian residents can afford clean water or drink bottled water because they live close to rivers or streams that provide clean drinking water. Another possibility is that Colombians eat healthier. They consume less sugar-sweetened beverages and less alcohol, two behaviors associated with high rates of overweight and obesity. A third possibility could be that the coronavirus strain circulating in Brazil is different than the one affecting Colombia. Or it could be an issue of reporting since not all coronavirus cases in other countries are always made public. Whatever the reason, Americans should take note: just because you're visiting or living abroad doesn't mean you're safe from what may turn into an epidemic closer to home. The United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends everyone traveling outside of the U.S. get vaccinated against illnesses like tuberculosis, hepatitis A, polio, measles, yellow fever, rabies or meningitis as well as preventing mosquito bites if your destination has mosquito-borne diseases like Zika or malaria. Even though there haven't been any cases in America yet - given our travel footprint - we cannot say with certainty that it won't happen eventually

Mexico

Most people in Mexico are extremely poor, and their diet reflects that. They typically eat a lot of corn tortillas, beans, rice, and vegetables. Meat is a luxury that many cannot afford. Unfortunately, this diet is not very nutritious and leaves people vulnerable to diseases. The high poverty rate in Mexico is one of the main reasons why so many people have died from Corona. If they had more money, then they could buy more nutritious food and vitamins to stay healthy. Other countries with high death rates due to corona include Panama, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Honduras, and Costa Rica. These countries also have diets which leave them susceptible to dying from coronavirus as well. However some do have diets that are slightly better than those in Mexico. For example, Honduras has a higher calorie intake than those living in Panama or Guatemala due to its access to fisheries which provide protein for Hondurans who otherwise do not get enough protein on a daily basis. Nicaragua has higher caloric intake because it does have access to more crops than other Central American countries and most Nicaraguans grow coffee on their own land where they sell it for extra income. Costa Rica's population mostly consists of affluent farmers and they mostly consume meats like chicken, pork, beef, seafood, and eggs; plus dairy products like milk and cheese. Some may even be vegetarian! Although these people still experience disease outbreaks every now and then (just like every country), it seems as though their diets help protect them against Coronavirus a little bit more. But since these people are doing much better economically, we can't assume that all of them will have the same fate as those who live in poorer countries. It would be unfair to compare the two groups because they have different levels of economic stability. So while it might seem that richer countries don't die from coronavirus as often, there are still some rich people in these countries who die due to various causes such as heart attacks or cancer-which is not caused by either Corona nor obesity. It would be important for researchers to study how different types of dietary patterns affect risk for contracting and surviving illness before making any conclusions about diet-related causes of mortality across different socio-economic groups. One big difference between wealthier countries and poorer ones is availability of resources. In wealthier countries, citizens have access to hospitals, doctors, nurses, and medical supplies. 

Fisheries also allow residents of Honduras greater protein intake because proteins are easier to come by through the fish available in local markets whereas someone in Guatemala or Nicaragua must purchase animal proteins from outside sources (i.e., importing meat). One resource not easily accessible for many impoverished populations is medicine: specifically medications designed for certain illnesses such as norovirus when ingested orally instead of simply changing your eating habits when you contract it—though experts recommend a bland diet until you feel better just in case you were infected. Doctors from developing countries are sometimes more likely to be trusted, because they aren't seen as salesmen who are trying to get people to buy expensive medication. Rather, these healthcare providers are seen as individuals who want the best for their patients and want them to recover without having to spend lots of money. However, not everyone in these countries trusts doctors or believes in their recommendations because they're not sure what kind of advice they're giving and whether it is sound. Additionally, people in poorer countries are less likely to be able to take off from work for extended periods of time and many of them need to work during the day because they have a family to support. With their livelihoods on the line, it becomes difficult for them to receive adequate care from a doctor. This is not an issue for those who are more financially stable. Lastly, it's not fair to compare the diets of these two groups because as mentioned before, people in wealthier countries generally have access to better health care than those in poorer countries. There are many factors that play into whether or not someone dies from coronavirus, and diet is only one factor out of many-if at all. That being said, there are some startling differences between the diet of wealthier countries vs. those living in poverty-stricken areas such as El Salvador, Costa Rica, and Jamaica. Fish provides increased protein for Hondurans while meat products can be more difficult to come by in Central America due to remoteness from industrial centers which supply food to rural areas; this difference could help explain why Honduras has fewer deaths than Costa Rica despite higher rates of infections. In Guatemala and Nicaragua particularly, residents lack resources like medicine necessary to ward off complications resulting from infection and illness - even something as simple as a fever caused by vomiting or diarrhea can lead to dehydration if untreated or under treated quickly enough.

Venezuela

Of all the countries with high numbers of deaths due to Corona, Venezuela has by far the worst diet. The average Venezuelan eats less than 2,000 calories a day, and almost half of those calories come from sugar. The country is in the midst of a massive economic crisis, and food is scarce. Many people are malnourished, and their immune systems are weak. This makes them more susceptible to diseases like Corona.
