Boost the immune system against Coronavirus
In the current situation with the outbreak of the coronavirus (COVID-19), which causes severe pneumonia and can lead to death, certain groups are at higher risk for experiencing severe symptoms. These include:
- Young children
- The elderly
- Individuals with weakened or impaired immune systems
- Healthcare workers or those in close contact with infected individuals
Currently, there is no vaccine to prevent the virus, and efforts to control the spread are ongoing. Besides protecting oneself with face masks and frequent handwashing, preparing the body by strengthening the immune system is crucial to reduce the risk and severity of infection.
Basic health maintenance practices, such as getting enough sleep, regular exercise, eating a balanced diet with adequate nutrients, and drinking 2 liters of water per day, are important. However, to better protect ourselves from COVID-19, these alone may not be enough. We need to enhance our immune system more than usual.
Here are some tips from doctors to strengthen the immune system:
1. Vitamin C
Vitamin C is abundant in fruits and vegetables, especially citrus fruits (oranges, lemons, grapefruits) and vegetables like broccoli, cabbage, and tomatoes. However, vitamin C in food can often be destroyed by cooking processes, so supplementing it can be a better option. Medical research shows that Vitamin C helps strengthen the immune system and supports faster recovery from infections like the common cold and viral infections. People with higher levels of Vitamin C recover more quickly than those who do not supplement.
2. Garlic
Research confirms the beneficial properties of garlic in fighting bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens. Garlic also improves blood circulation and enhances the efficiency of white blood cells and red blood cells, strengthening the immune system. Studies show that regular garlic consumption reduces the chances of getting sick and helps in quicker recovery from infections.
3. Echinacea
Echinacea is an herb known for its ability to inhibit bacterial infections and stimulate white blood cells, particularly macrophages, to fight pathogens more effectively. It also boosts the function of NK (Natural Killer) cells, enhancing the immune system’s ability to eliminate infections faster.
These nutrients can be consumed daily through food, but getting enough of them may require large quantities. Therefore, it may be more convenient to take them as supplements. For those who want a more convenient option, ADDLIFE offers the supplement "Immune Life," which combines Vitamin C, Garlic, Echinacea, and other immune-boosting ingredients for a complete immune system support.
Even though pathogens are dangerous, by preparing the body, we can reduce the risk and severity of infection.
