RALEIGH – Vaccines are on the way, but right now you can use diet to prevent COVID-19, says a professor at N.C.

Eat grapes, drink green tea – and enjoy chocolate.

In fact, De-Yu Xie, professor of plant and microbial biology at NCSU, believes so much in what he has found that he’s recommending the diet right now.

“Are you recommending a diet including these foods as a means of fighting COVID-19?” WRAL TechWire asked Dr.

“Yes, green tea and muscadine grapes,” he replied.

“I hope that more people know that green tea, grapes and cacao (chocolate) have active compounds with anti-SARS-Cov-2 enzyme activity,” he said, referring the scientific name for the coronavirus.

NCSU noted that “chemical compounds in green tea and muscadine grapes were very successful at inhibiting [a key] function; chemical compounds in cacao powder and dark chocolate reduced [the key] activity by about half.”.

However, no effective vaccines are ready for prevention.

“In summary, no medicines can treat COVID-19 and no vaccines can prevent this contagious disease.

He and researchers have been spent months examining these foods and the active compounds they contain to fight COVID
