The world is grappling with the new coronavirus, which has
spread from China to at least 16 other countries, including the UK.
Humans have always caught diseases from animals. In fact,
most new infectious diseases come from wildlife.
Some groups are more vulnerable to catching these diseases
than others.
Poorer city-dwellers are more likely to work in cleaning and
sanitation, boosting their chances of encountering sources and carriers of
disease.
They may also have weaker immune systems because of poor
nutrition and exposure to poor air or unsanitary conditions. And if they fall
ill, they may not be able to afford medical care.
Stay in your homes and try to sanitize everything that you
are using during this pandemic condition.
Ways to Strong Your Immune
System to Fight Coronavirus
As the corona virus spreads, we are hearing about
how to reduce exposure and take care of ourselves if we get sick. These are
important tips, but we're not hearing much about how we can boost our immunity
so that if we do get exposed to the virus.
Our immune systems are designed to fight off
sicknesses and viruses. But unfortunately, the immune system can get worn down
by many things typical of a modern life—for example, stress, toxins, lack of
exercise, and unhealthy eating.
Health is very important to fight against the
virus.
1. Reduce Stress
When you're stressed out your
body produces stress hormones which tax the immune system.
So one of the most important ways to boost immunity is to reduce stress.
To reduce stress, it's key to ensure you have decent work-life balance,
take breaks when you need them (both short "water-cooler" breaks and
longer vacations), and to employ some calming or relaxing stress-reduction
techniques, like practicing mindfulness.
2. Sleep whenever you're tired
Many of us walk
around this world in a state of constant exhaustion. But every time we stay
awake when our bodies want us to sleep, we increase stress and hurt our
immunity.
If we're drinking caffeinated drinks all the time (e.g., coffee,
black tea, soda) we may not even realize just how tired we really are. Because sleeping is essential to
rebuilding a struggling immune system, we need to let ourselves sleep as
much as we need.
3. Consume immunity-boosting vitamins
To support your
immune system, you can eat immunity supporting foods like citrus fruits,
garlic, broccoli, and spinach.
If your immune system is already weak, it can
also be helpful to supplement with key vitamins and minerals that may have
become depleted like Vitamin C, Vitamin B, Vitamin D, and Zinc.
4. Reduce Inflammation
Sugar, processed
meat, vegetable oils, and alcohol tend to be inflammatory foods
so they busy the immune system, leaving other problems in your body
unaddressed.
That's why it can be really helpful to remove these
inflammatory foods if we want a healthy immune system.
5. Exercise, but not too much
Exercise can be one
of the best things to do to boost immunity. But we have to be careful because too much exercise is
stressful on the body and can be tough on our immune system.
So
just keep the other tips in mind: Keep stress low, and if you're tired, then
rest.
6. Stay away from toxins
Toxins can be
devastating for the immune system. For example, mycotoxins from mold
are notorious for destroying
the immune system. Many other toxins seem to have negative effects on
immunity as well. So try to minimize exposure to chlorinated drinking water,
pesticides, aromatic hydrocarbons (e.g., air fresheners), heavy metals, air
pollution, and food additives.
By taking these
actions, we can help prevent ourselves and our loved ones from suffering
significantly from the corona virus.
What are the symptoms of a coronavirus?
COVID-19 symptoms range from mild to severe. It takes 2-14
days after exposure for symptoms to develop. Symptoms may include:
-fever
-cough
-shortness of breath
-chills
-repeated shaking with chills
-muscle pain
-headache
-sore throat
-new loss of taste or smell
Those with weakened immune systems may develop more serious
symptoms, like pneumonia or bronchitis. You may never develop symptoms after
being exposed to COVID-19. So far, most confirmed cases are in adults, but some
children have been infected. There is no evidence that children are at greater
risk for getting the virus.
Who should be tested
To learn if you have a current infection, viral tests are
used. But not everyone needs this test.
Most people will have mild illness and can recover at home
without medical care and may not need to be tested.
CDC has guidance for who should be tested, but decisions
about testing are made by state and local external icon health departments or
healthcare providers.
If you have symptoms of COVID-19 and want to get tested,
call your healthcare provider first.
You can also visit your state or local health department’s
website to look for the latest local information on testing.
Although supplies of tests are increasing, it may still be
difficult to find a place to get tested.
What to Do If You Are Sick
If you have a fever, cough or other symptoms, you might have
COVID-19. Most people have mild illness and are able to recover at home. If you
think you may have been exposed to COVID-19, contact your healthcare provider
immediately.
Stay home except to get medical care:
Stay home. Most people with COVID-19 have mild illness and
can recover at home without medical care. Do not leave your home, except to get
medical care. Do not visit public areas.
Take care of yourself. Get rest and stay hydrated. Take
over-the-counter medicines, such as acetaminophen, to help you feel better.
Stay in touch with your doctor. Call before you get medical
care. Be sure to get care if you have trouble breathing, or have any other
emergency warning signs, or if you think it is an emergency.
Avoid public transportation, ride-sharing, or taxis.
Separate yourself from other people:
As much as possible, stay in a specific room and away from
other people and pets in your home. Also, you should use a separate bathroom,
if available. If you need to be around other people or animals in or outside of
the home, wear a cloth face covering.
See COVID-19 and Animals if you have questions about pets.

Monitor your symptoms:
Common symptoms of COVID-19 include fever, cough or other
symptoms. Trouble breathing is a more serious symptom that means you should get
medical attention.
Follow care instructions from your healthcare provider and
local health department. Your local health authorities may give instructions on
checking your symptoms and reporting information.
Call ahead before visiting your doctor:
Call ahead. Many medical visits for routine care are being
postponed or done by phone or telemedicine.
If you have a medical appointment that cannot be postponed,
call your doctor’s office, and tell them you have or may have COVID-19. This
will help the office protect themselves and other patients.
If you are sick wear a cloth covering over your
nose and mouth:
You should wear a cloth face covering, over your nose and
mouth if you must be around other people or animals, including pets (even at
home).
You don’t need to wear the cloth face covering if you are
alone. If you can’t put on a cloth face covering (because of trouble breathing
for example), cover your coughs and sneezes in some other way. Try to stay at
least 6 feet away from other people. This will help protect the people around
you.
Note: During the COVID-19 pandemic, medical grade face masks
are reserved for healthcare workers and some first responders. You may need to
improvise a cloth face covering using a scarf or bandana.
Cover your coughs and sneezes:
Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or
sneeze.
Throw away used tissues in a lined trash can.
Immediately wash your hands with soap and water for at least
20 seconds. If soap and water are not available, clean your hands with an
alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol.
Clean your hands often:
Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20
seconds. This is especially important after blowing your nose, coughing, or
sneezing; going to the bathroom; and before eating or preparing food.
Use hand sanitizer if soap and water are not available. Use
an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol, covering all
surfaces of your hands and rubbing them together until they feel dry.
Soap and water are the best option, especially if hands are
visibly dirty.
Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed
hands.
Avoid sharing personal household items:
Do not share dishes, drinking glasses, cups, eating
utensils, towels, or bedding with other people in your home.
Wash these items thoroughly after using them with soap and
water or put in the dishwasher.
Clean all “high-touch” surfaces everyday:
Clean and disinfect high-touch surfaces in your “sick room”
and bathroom. Let someone else clean and disinfect surfaces in common areas,
but not your bedroom and bathroom.
If a caregiver or other person needs to clean and disinfect
a sick person’s bedroom or bathroom, they should do so on an as-needed basis.
The caregiver/other person should wear a mask and wait as long as possible
after the sick person has used the bathroom.
High-touch surfaces include phones, remote controls,
counters, tabletops, doorknobs, bathroom fixtures, toilets, keyboards, tablets,
and bedside tables.
Clean and disinfect areas that may have blood, stool, or
body fluids on them.
Use household cleaners and disinfectants. Clean the area or
item with soap and water or another detergent if it is dirty. Then, use a
household disinfectant.
Be sure to follow the instructions on the label to ensure
safe and effective use of the product.
Many products recommend keeping the
surface wet for several minutes to ensure germs are killed. Many also recommend
precautions such as wearing gloves and making sure you have good ventilation
during use of the product.
