Virtually everyone is threatened by the coronavirus infection, and there are few preventive measures. First of all, we should follow the recommendations regarding the wearing of masks, increased hand hygiene, limitation of interpersonal contacts or the rules of quarantine.

  1. What is the best protection against coronavirus infection? New research results

If we care about strengthening the body’s immunity, as well as improving our overall well-being, there are several ways to do this. Physical activity is very important – of course, as allowed by our health and current conditions, which are largely related to staying at home. Another issue is managing stress effectively, focusing on things that we have control over, and getting enough sleep. There is one more foundation of good immunity, which is a balanced diet.

In the face of the ubiquitous coronavirus, it is worth constantly stimulating the immune system, reaching for products containing the appropriate set of vitamins and minerals, as well as antioxidants. At Medonet Market, you can now buy natural anti-microbial and antiviral dietary supplements to strengthen immunity. An interesting solution are also Intenson products in the form of a powder that can be dissolved in water or juice. Try the Immunity Superfoods Elixir Intenson – a strengthening elixir.

You will also find herbal teas that support the work of the immune system. Immune Support Bio Yogi Tea contains acerola juice, echinacea, rosehip and elderberry to strengthen the body.

  1. What improves immunity? Rules worth following in the era of coronavirus

Vegetables and fruits rich in beta-carotene will strengthen the immune system

Vegetables and fruits in the diet are crucial for the proper functioning of the body due to the variety of ingredients they provide. One of them is beta-carotene, a substance that transforms into vitamin A. Vitamin A’s effect on the immune system is related to the enhancement of the immune response in the event of the intrusion of toxins and other foreign substances into the body.

Good sources of beta carotene, i.e. provitamins A, are i.a. carrots, sweet potatoes, spinach, kale, broccoli, pumpkins, mangoes, and apricots.

We also recommend Natjun warming tea with raspberries, hawthorn, ginseng and ginger. It is available on Medonet Market at an attractive price.

Vitamin C stimulating immunity

Vitamin C is known for its beneficial effects on human immunity. This is because it supports the process of lymphocyte differentiation into specific types – appropriate for the initiation of an appropriate immune response. Additionally, vitamin C increases the number of antibodies present in the blood, affecting general strengthening of resistance to infections. According to some studies, delivering 200 mg of vitamin C per day to the body may shorten the duration of cold symptoms. We recommend Vitamin C1000 SOLHERBS in capsules or in powder.

Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant.

Natural sources of vitamin C to meet the daily requirements for this ingredient include oranges, grapefruits, strawberries, kiwi, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, as well as red and green peppers.

To support the functioning of the body, including the immune system, we recommend a comprehensive set of supplements for every YANGO, which includes:

  1. Wild rose dietary supplement, 
  2. CircuVena dietary supplement,
  3. Dietary supplement Citrus Bioflavonoids.
important

Not all diets are healthy and safe for our body. It is recommended that you consult your doctor before starting any diet, even if you do not have any health concerns.

When choosing a diet, never follow the current fashion. Remember that some diets, incl. low in particular nutrients or strongly limiting calories, and mono-diets can be debilitating for the body, carry a risk of eating disorders, and can also increase appetite, contributing to a quick return to the former weight.

Vitamin D – lower risk of acute respiratory infections

The body produces vitamin D automatically under the influence of sunlight, and its deficiencies are common in countries that have less sun in winter – including Poland. The importance of vitamin D in the context of the immune system is considerable. It regulates the production of a protein that kills pathogens, including bacteria and viruses. Vitamin D also affects the number and activity NKT lymphocyteswhich also limit the spread of pathogens.

  1. Vitamin D Deficiency Increases COVID-19 Risk?

In the case of identified deficiencies, vitamin D supplementation is also recommended.

Vitamin D deficiency weakens the immune system, which increases the risk of viral infections, including those affecting the upper respiratory tract. In order to provide this nutrient valuable for health and well-being, we can reach for the following products:

  1. fatty fish, including canned fish (e.g. sardines or salmon);
  2. eggs;
  3. milk;
  4. plant-based milk products;
  5. sery;
  6. tofu;
  7. mushrooms.

The beneficial effect of zinc on immunity

Some studies show that zinc mobilizes the immune system, so you can quickly get rid of the symptoms typical of a cold. This micronutrient can be found in beans, chickpeas, lentils, tofu, nuts and grains, wheat germ, yoghurt, seafood (oysters, crab, lobster) and meats (beef, pork, dark poultry). You will find zinc, among others in Panacea Immunity – a liquid supplement Pharmovit, which you can safely and conveniently order on Medonet Market.

Protein from milk, eggs and grains for immunity

The proper functioning of the immune system is also largely dependent on protein, which is an important building block of antibodies and cells responsible for the immune response. Good sources of vegetable and animal proteins are foods such as fish, eggs, poultry, beef, milk, cottage cheese, lentils, yoghurts, beans and nuts. Instead of crackers or chips, it is also worth reaching for snacks rich in protein. For example, baked chickpeas will work well here.

To support immunity, we recommend Bioherba black seed oil, which also has a positive effect on other systems of the human body and even improves the condition of the skin.

Prebiotics and probiotics to protect against infection

The efficiency of the immune system is also influenced by the microbiome, i.e. microorganisms inhabiting the human body. In order to restore its balance, you should use prebiotics and probiotics. To popular natural probiotics include yoghurts and kefirs, but we can also reach for sourdough bread, sauerkraut, miso, tempeh (fermented soybeans) or kimchi. Among the prebiotics, it is worth mentioning whole grain products, onions, garlic, asparagus, artichokes, leeks and bananas.

An analysis of clinical trials shows that the symptoms of viral infections such as colds and flu relieve the components of elderberry. Although tests have not been conducted for the coronavirus, the effects of elderberry may be beneficial for the immune system.

A great probiotic is, for example, Bioherba beetroot leaven with lemon, turmeric and ginger, available at an attractive price on Medonet Market in single bottles or in a set of shots for 7 days.

Coronavirus: Remember to drink water

In order to minimize the negative factors affecting our health, we should remember to drink water. Even slight dehydration adversely affects the physical condition of the body, so it is recommended to regularly use various fluids, in particular water, but also soups and products containing a lot of water, including fruit and vegetables.

In order to ensure proper hydration, you can also drink herbal teas in addition to water, eg. Immunity – freeze-dried organic tea with calendula, thyme, sage and elderberry.

Adequate supplementation can contribute to strengthening the resistance to viruses. At Medonet Market you can buy a dietary supplement rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants that have a positive effect on the immune system.
