Resisting the virus, immunity is the key

How can dietary nutrition help boost immunity?

In the face of the sudden novel coronavirus pneumonia, the immune system is people's most powerful weapon against it

This requires daily life to ensure a balanced diet, food variety

In addition, iron is an "immune necessity" and an essential component of key enzymes involved in cellular immunity; zinc is an "immune active agent" that regulates cellular immune activity; selenium is a "virus killer", which may prevent virus mutation,

Children and the elderly are at higher risk of the virus

How to strengthen nutrition and enhance the ability to resist viruses?

The immune system develops differently at different stages of life and has different risks of infection, and malnutrition can compromise immune function and increase the risk of infection

The immune system in childhood is immature, the immune function (including innate immunity and adaptive immunity) is not perfect, and the resistance to viruses and bacteria is relatively poor

With age, the immune system also ages, due to the reduction in the production of immune cells by the bone marrow, the degeneration of the thymus, the reduction in the number of natural T cells, and the impairment of immune cell function

People with underlying medical conditions are more susceptible to viral infections

How to pay attention to nutritional supplements?

Scientific data shows that people with underlying medical conditions are more likely to contract COVID-19 and get sicker

Covid-19 is often accompanied by mild complications

How can nutritional supplements work better with drugs?

According to statistics, about 49% of new crown patients have at least one new crown complication.

Second, studies have shown that an important factor in the smell/taste disorder of patients with new crowns is zinc deficiency.

In the post-epidemic era, in order to ensure our healthy living environment, in addition to continuing to abide by the relevant protective measures, we must also adjust our lifestyles from the three dimensions of diet, physical fitness, and psychology, and strengthen our own resistance to prevent viruses from entering

Secondly, it is necessary to match the appropriate amount of exercise, and ensure that resistance exercise at least half an hour a day, 3-5 days a week, to maintain body shape and avoid obesity

Finally, use some means to adjust your mentality and maintain a happy mood, such as reading, fitness, listening to songs,
