Based on the findings, recommendations are proposed to promote healthier dietary practices among individuals, emphasizing the consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables, eggs, and nutrient-rich foods to aid in COVID-19 recovery. Additionally, suggestions include regular meal consumption, hydration, and moderation of caffeine intake. In conclusion, this study underscores the importance of nutrition in mitigating the impact of COVID-19 and provides valuable insights into dietary behaviors among nursing students during the pandemic. Future research should explore longitudinal associations between diet and COVID-19 outcomes to inform public health interventions and preventive strategies effectively.
