First of
all, why is the coronavirus so deadly? Well, for starter, it is a new virus
that has no medicine or vaccine for it yet. But it is a flu like virus, and
everyone has flu before so why is our immune system not able to fight it? Well,
it is not able to fight it because first our antibody has not encounter it
before therefore, they don’t know that they need to fight it. As like in a real
war, our soldier meets a stranger, they won’t simply just attack as they do not
know if this stranger is a friend or a foe. They will only start attacking once
they are offended but when that happen it might be too late as this virus
attack our lungs. So, patient who has
history of lung problem, respiratory illness (like asthma) or is already weak
with sickness, they will be in higher risk of losing this war. That being said,
other healthier person will have higher chance of surviving if they are able
produce antibody to fight it. So how to do we produce antibody? Well by keeping
ourselves healthy and having better immune system, our body will have the antibody
or ammo to fight it.
Below are
some steps which we can take to help boast up our immune system to fight
against the coronavirus (aka wuhan virus).
1)
Regular exercise contributes to promoting good circulation which allow the substance
and cells in our body to move freely and do their job more efficiently, thus
detecting any risk of infection faster.
2)
Get vitamins D by being in the sun. Vitamins D
will boast the immune response to seasonal cold or flu.
3)
Drink warm water. Drinking warm water not only
help improve digestion, keep our body warm and it is effective to killing viruses
and also help your body get rid of toxins.
4)
Get enough sleep. Sleep is the time your body rejuvenate
and repairs its cells. 7 – 9 hours of sleep is ideal.
5)
Eat some yogurt as the prebiotics contained in
some yogurts hep to improve the body’s immunity and disease resistance
6)
Drink honey water, ginger water or lemonade often
as
a)
Antioxidant in honey are booster for improving immunity
b)
Ginger is a natural analgesic which has certain anti-infection
effect
c)
Lemon is rich in vitamin C which has anti-oxidant
properties
7)
Eat your vitamins C and supplement regularly
(there are difference in vitamins and supplement compare to medicines – see it
in my next blog)
8)
Garlic is also a well-known immune boaster, so
add some of it in your diets.
9) Do
not smoke and avoid inhaling
too much tobacco smoke as it lowers our basic immune system defenses and also increase
risk of bronchitis and pneumonia in people.
10) Drink
less alcohol as excessive
consumption increase the vulnerability to lung infection which also give chance
for the coronavirus to attack.
11) Fruits,
vegetables, nuts and seeds
are foods which provide your body with nutrients that your immune system needs.
So, eat more of these.
12) Eat more protein as protein in lean meat, beans, soy and seafood
increase the production of infection fighting white blood cells.
13) Olive
oils and canola oils contain
healthy fats which act as a lubricant for cells to improves it its flexibility
and communication between cells, thus promotes immune functionality.
Lastly, keep a balance diet and have a healthy lifestyle and your
