Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) caused the coronavirus
disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic that hit the health systems worldwide hard, causing a collapse of
healthcare systems. One of the main problems of this new virus is the high inflammatory response
it provokes, which is the cause of much of the symptoms. Different pharmacological approaches
tried to stop the advance of the pandemic, but it seems that only vaccines are the solution. In this
line, different nonpharmacological approaches have been made in order to improve symptomatology,
contagion, and spread of COVID-19, the principal factors being the physical activity, nutrition,
physiotherapy, psychology, and life patterns. The SARS-CoV-2 virus produces a disproportionate
inflammatory response in the organism of the guest and causes complications in this that can end
the life of the patient. It has been possible to see how different nonpharmacological interventions
based on physical activity, nutritional, psychological, and physical therapy, and lifestyle changes
can be functional tools to treat this inflammation. Thus, in the present review, we aim to provide
an overview of the role of inflammation in COVID-19 and the nonpharmacological interventions
related to it.
