The Covid-19 outbreak in January has caused worldwide fear, panic, and confusion. So, what can you do? It is wise to wash our hands repeatedly to reduce the spread of viruses. However, wear mask may not be very helpful. Most facemasks provide only barrier protection against droplets, but do not effectively filter small particles from the air and do not prevent leakage around the edge of the mask when the user inhales. The best way to protect yourself from coronavirus may be strengthen your immune function.
To prevent becoming ill and to avoid having a poorly responding immune system, it is vitally important to eat a healthy diet and to maintain optimal levels of nutrients. For example, vitamins A, C, and D are well studied for their benefit on immune function. In addition, exercise regularly and get enough sleep. Here are the top 6 natural remedies for coronavirus protection.
Vitamin A
It is often deficient in the Canadian population, especially in people with problems absorbing fat soluble vitamins from food. Vitamin A is not only vital for healthy vision but also important as a viral illness preventive. Vitamin A plays a role in our immune system and in the formation of healthy epithelial tissue. An antioxidant, it protects against damage to cells that can lead to cancer. One of featured product, Quest® Super Once A Day Time Release Multiple Vitamins with 10000 IU Vitamin A is one of your best choice.
Vitamin B12
Although each of the B vitamins has its own unique role to play, as a group they work together synergistically. Vitamin B12 impaires nervous system function, mental function and pernicious anemia. Vitamin B12 involves in the production of DNA, red blood cells, and the myelin sheath that surrounds nerve cells and speeds the conduction of signals along nerve cells. For proper absorption of B12, the stomach produces a digestive secretioncalled intrinsic factor. We'd recommend Nature’s Harmony® Liquid B 50 in your choice list.
Vitamin C
Vitamin C is needed in the formation of collagen and helps in wound healing. It is in greater demand whenever the immune system or any connective tissue is stressed. Take 1,000 mg or more daily has antiviral and immune-enhancing effects. The Quest® Super Stress B + C 1000 mg should be consided as always.
Vitamin D
Vitamin D helps with immune function. Deficiency causes immune system weakness and is likely responsible for the high incidences of the cold and flu during winter in Canada. For prevention, supplementing with 1,000 IU daily should be safe for most people.
Colostrum
Colostrum is a pre-milk nutrient provided by mammals to their newborns in the first few days of life to help ensure optimum health. Called “life’s first food,” colostrum provides over 90 beneficial nutrients. In addition, colostrum is the only natural source of important growth and antimicrobial factors and antibodies (immunoglobulins), including lactoferrin and PRP, which is known to help regulate immune system function. The Nature’s Harmony® Colostrum has been serving Canadians for decades.
Idoine
Iodine is necessary for proper immune system functioning. Three-quarters of the iodine in the body is found in the thyroid gland, the remainder isfound throughout the body, mostly in the fluid that bathes our cells. People can easily get iodine from fish, seafood, kelp, and other seaweed options.
