Summary

This small pilot study tested whether a 7-day fast is safe and acceptable for adults with Long COVID. Researchers wanted to see if fasting could improve daily functioning and quality of life by reducing inflammation. Twenty-five participants completed the fast at home and were monitored for one month afterward. The goal was to gather early data on feasibility and possible benefits, not to prove a cure.
