A Healthy Immune System Helps to protect Against COVID-19

The old adage “the best defense is a good offense” has never been so true as during this anxious, unsettling period in our lives when it comes to safeguarding ourselves from the novel coronavirus that has disrupted daily life all over the world.

At this crucial time, more than ever, it is vital to make sure you're eating right to bolster your immune system. What we eat has everything to do with our health. Social distancing and hygiene measures will reduce the likelihood we are exposed to the virus. However, if we do become exposed to any respiratory virus, being in good health and having a superior immune function is our best protection against serious illness.

Your health and longevity are directly linked to your immune system, and your immune system depends on sufficient amounts of micronutrients to function properly. The Nutritarian program is unique in supplying a sufficient amount and a wide variety of phytonutrients and also making sure no nutritional inadequacies occur. To boost your immunity and keep it operating at peak efficiency, you need to eat a diet designed to optimize your body's ability to heal and repair.

The Nutritarian diet is based on powerful immune-boosting ingredients. G-BOMBS: greens (cruciferous vegetables), beans, mushrooms, onions, berries and seeds, are crucial for optimizing your immune system and protecting your precious health. Eating a healthy diet plays a major role in the prevention and recovery from diseases like the flu, autoimmune disease, cancer and more.

It's also worth noting that many of the conditions that make people more vulnerable to serious disease or death from COVID-19 are lifestyle conditions that are largely preventable with a high-nutrient diet and regular exercise.

The immune system is a host defense system comprising many biological structures and processes within an organism that protects against disease.To function properly, an immune system must detect a wide variety of agents, known as pathogens, from viruses to parasitic worms, and distinguish them from the organism's own healthy tissue.

Immune system, the complex group of defense responses found in humans and other advanced vertebrates that helps repel disease-causing entities. Immunity from disease is conferred by two cooperative defense systems: innate immunity and acquired immunity.

The Immune System What is the immune system? The immune system protects your child's body from outside invaders, such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and toxins (chemicals produced by microbes). It is made up of different organs, cells, and proteins that work together. There are two main parts of the immune system: The Immune System | Johns Hopkins Medicine

The overall function of the immune system is to prevent or limit infection. An example of this principle is found in immune-compromised people, including those with genetic immune disorders, immune-debilitating infections like HIV, and even pregnant women, who are susceptible to a range of microbes that typically do not cause infection in healthy individuals.

The immune system can distinguish between normal, healthy cells and unhealthy cells by recognizing a variety of "danger" cues called danger-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs). Cells may be unhealthy because of infection or because of cellular damage caused by non-infectious agents like sunburn or cancer. Infectious microbes such as viruses and bacteria release another set of signals recognized by the immune system called pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs).

When the immune system first recognizes these signals, it responds to address the problem. If an immune response cannot be activated when there is sufficient need, problems arise, like infection. On the other hand, when an immune response is activated without a real threat or is not turned off once the danger passes, different problems arise, such as allergic reactions and autoimmune disease.

The immune system is complex and pervasive. There are numerous cell types that either circulate throughout the body or reside in a particular tissue. Each cell type plays a unique role, with different ways of recognizing problems, communicating with other cells, and performing their functions. By understanding all the details behind this network, researchers may optimize immune responses to confront specific issues, ranging from infections to cancer.

5 WAYS TO PROTECT YOURSELF FROM THE CORONAVIRUS

Every surface in a public place can harbor germs. Carry your own pen (and don’t lend it to anyone) in case you need to sign a credit card receipt. If you have to use the stylus or write your name using your finger at a terminal, use hand sanitizer afterward, or better yet, wash your hands. Use alcohol-based sprays or wipes to disinfect hard surfaces.

If someone is sneezing or coughing around you, try breathing out slowly as you move away from them. This will keep you from inhaling the germs they just expelled.

Make a point of getting seven to nine hours of sleep per day — and even more for children and teens. We all require a different amount, so don’t use caffeine to enable less sleep, and don’t use an alarm clock. Sleep as much as your body wants to.

Wash whenever you touch anything used by other people, such as doorknobs, the buttons on the microwave at work, office telephones, etc. Use soap and water and be sure to scrub the back of your hands, between your fingers, and under your nails. Wash for at least 20 seconds. Don’t touch your face, mouth, eyes, or nose until you’ve washed your hands.

Keep fit with regular exercise.

The most important thing is to reduce your oxygen intake by a third, increasing your co2 intake by a third, dramatically increase your heart rate and blood pressure, and breath in hot wet air packed with viruses and bacteria. Ideally, you will be around as many other people doing the same as possible.

^ That's what all the "experts" recommend.

STRATEGY FOR CARE

If you get sick with a viral syndrome: rest, drink water, avoid cooked food, and only consume fresh fruit and raw vegetables if hungry. Fasting or eating very lightly when ill speeds recovery, reduces mucus production and activates the immune system’s defenses to rapidly eliminate the viral load. Most importantly, do not poison yourself with medications in an attempt to manage symptoms. Adding toxins to the body when you are ill can complicate and worsen the illness.

Fever-reducing medications and antibiotics can make a mild illness dangerous. Fever is part of the body’s attack on the virus – it stimulates immune system activity.8 However, if you experience a sudden worsening of symptoms, especially including labored breathing, or a fever above 103 degrees for three days, then you should call your doctor.

Our immune system is on the job 24 hours a day — so it is vital to fuel it with a micronutrient-rich diet that will keep it operating at peak efficiency.

Can I take any vitamins or supplements to prevent coronavirus?

There are no vitamins or supplements proven to help prevent coronavirus, including COVID-19.

Certain nutrients may help strengthen your immune system's ability to fight the virus, including vitamin D, high-dose vitamin C, zinc and potassium if you're deficient.

Eat a diet rich in vegetables, fruit and lean protein. Probiotics may also help. You can get these in yogurt and fermented foods, like kimchi and sauerkraut.

Regular exercise and stress management techniques, such as deep breathing exercises or meditation, also help prime your immune system to fight off infections.

I can't imagine having to wear a mask for hours and hours and hours and hours. I don't mind it doing my shopping, but really feel for those forced to wear them to work, especially outside in the heat.

Masks Are the Key to Stopping the Rise
BY WELLNESS EDITOR


Early on in the pandemic, some sources seemed intent on sowing confusion over best practices. What their motivation was, one can only guess, but the result is that some people are still confused and feeling as though there's been a "back and forth" approach when the reality is that the experts have been aligned from the beginning and one thing is clear: mask use will help control the spread of the deadly virus. And it will save lives.


Updated WHO Guidelines

On June 5, 2020, the WHO released new guidelines on using masks to reduce COVID-19 transmission. The 16-page document is an update from the agency’s previous April 6 release, which, though it recommended all people wear masks, stressed the importance of sick people wearing masks and placed less emphasis on pre-symptomatic and asymptomatic transmission. The agency has become much clearer about this threat, and it’s taken a firmer stance on face coverings: Everyone should wear a mask when they go out.


How Masks Help

COVID-19 can be transmitted via respiratory droplets, which may become airborne when an infected person coughs, sneezes or even breathes within a few feet of someone else. The virus can also settle onto surfaces, where it may survive long enough for other people to pick it up and transfer to vulnerable areas like the nose, mouth and the outer surface of the eyes (conjunctiva). So masks, by slowing the rate of droplets leaving the mouth and nose, can help reduce the viral load in the air and therefore reduce the number of virus particles on surfaces, but only if everyone does their part.

The problem is that far too few people are taking the importance of wearing masks seriously. Maybe they feel silly because they don't see others wearing them, or maybe they don’t realize that between 40% and 80% of transmissions occur from pre-symptomatic and asymptomatic contact. Or maybe they are falling victim to the early misinformation campaigns. Whatever their reasons, people who refuse to wear masks may well be a collective threat to their communities.


Choosing the Right Mask

The materials a mask is made from and the tightness of the fit on the face are both important factors; getting either wrong will significantly reduce the mask’s effectiveness. The most current research suggests a combination of fabrics. The best seems to be making the mask from one layer of cotton along with two layers of polyester/spandex chiffon as the different types of layers are more effective than using one single fabric.

This is because different types of fabrics work in different ways to block virus particles: Cotton creates a physical barrier, while chiffon creates an electrostatic barrier. The combination of both offers a better chance of trapping more particles and therefore protecting everyone around us.

Face masks are essential to stopping this pandemic that feels like a runaway train. But for masks to work at their best, we all must assume we’re carriers and mask-up. It’s up to each of us to keep our germs to ourselves, and that means wearing a mask every time we go out in public. We can build toward a post-COVID world, but we must first do our part and that begins with caring for others and doing our part to protect our communities.

You don't read facts because you are prohibited from doing so. Rather, you are to received all your thoughts and emotions daily from CNN or MSNBC.

I know you want to believe it, but you posting nonsense on dozen threads does not make it so. So, once again, if you links (from non CT sites), go ahead, prove us wrong. Otherwise, all you got is repeated claims not backed up by anything.

Why don't we ever hear such rational discussion on the mainstream media?

I think I know the answer to my question: because MSM is controlled by Big Pharma, and they would rather people eat poorly, get sick, and then require their drugs to recover, more or less.
