Covid-19 and immune system.

 

The theme of “Covid-19 and the immune system” is serious and topical now frightening everyone. Indeed, the Covid-19 virus is new to humans. Fortunately, certain simple and thoughtful actions will allow us to remain as serene as possible in all circumstances of our “new” daily life.

 

 

I take the liberty of writing this informative article, because to know is to act correctly. And this, for our benefits and that of all our loved ones.

I will try to clarify the few questions everyone has about the Covid-19 virus.

And this, in accordance with the philosophy and ethics of Doctors of Chiropractic, the one I received. Chiropractic is a natural alternative therapy, based on the fact that our body works properly when our nervous system is optimal.

 

Indeed, our body in general, all our organs and of course the organs of our immune system, are connected to our nervous system. The connection between our body and the brain is the spinal cord located in the center of our spine.

So the spine protects our spinal cord. A healthy spine provides the best protection for our nervous system to be proactive. Thus the spine protects the nerve connections to the organs making up our immune system.

 

Your Chiropractic Doctor adjusts the spine and thus strengthens our immune system.

 

Now let’s get to the heart of the matter, and ask ourselves the following 10 questions:

 

1 Why in the same space, some people are infected and sick with the Covid-19 virus while others are not?

It’s very simple, it depends on the strength of the immune system of the person in contact with the Covid-19 virus. The Covid-19 virus will naturally enter and grow in a weak organism. While the strong organism will fight and defeat the Covid-19 virus quickly.

2 What is the difference between a person who has recovered from Covid-19 and one who will die from it?

 

A weak immune system will allow the Covid-19 virus to be active and destructive easily and quickly. Whereas a person with a strong immune system, will contain the activity of the Covid-19 virus by forming the anti-body quickly. This person will heal.

 

 

3 Wear a mask or not?

 

The Covid-19 virus is spread by saliva, coughing, sneezing, the hands that have been in contact, and therefore mainly the postilions. There is an asymptomatic period of 3-5 days on average of up to 2 weeks. This asymptomatic period is critical and dangerous because the Covid-19 virus is transmitted without our knowledge. It is precisely for this reason that this pandemic Covid-19 virus is so rapidly increasing. Indeed, the most affected countries will pass in 3-4 days, from 500 cases to 6000-7000 cases. When people speak face to face less than a meter away, the postilions will transmit the virus.

 

So I would say that being without symptoms of the Covid-19 virus and wearing a mask has real meaning.

 

4 Why does our body produce fever to cope with the Covid-19 virus?

In the presence of the Covid-19 virus, the reaction of our immune system is to increase our body temperature. In this way, our body reacts to the presence of the Covid-19 virus to kill it. The Covid-19 virus does not tolerate high temperatures. Attempting to lower the fever would decrease the strength of our immune system and therefore its ability to fight the Covid-19 virus.

 

5 How does our immune system work?

The immune system is the body’s natural defense against infection. Through a series of steps, our bodies fight and destroy invading infectious organisms before they cause damage.

 

 

When our immune system is functioning properly, it protects us from infections. The symptom of fever is a perfectly healthy reaction of our immune system to kill the Covid-19 virus thanks to the body heat produced. Fever is therefore necessary for the healing process.

6 How do I know if my immune system is working well?

 

It is possible to identify when the body’s defenses are weak. Indeed, the body begins to give signs that it is not able to effectively fight against infectious agents, such as viruses or bacteria, which can make the person sick more frequently and have symptoms such as frequent chills, fever, and recurrent infections.

The following 9 symptoms indicate that you have weak immune systems:

– Recurrent infections, such as tonsillitis or herpes;

– Simple illnesses that take time to heal or that worsen easily, such as the flu;

– Frequent fever and chills;

– Frequently dry eyes;

– Excessive fatigue;

– Nausea and vomiting;

– Diarrhea for more than 2 weeks;

– Red or white spots on the skin;

– Accentuated hair loss;

 

Therefore, in the presence of any of these symptoms, it is important to adopt measures that help strengthen immunity.

 

7 What can damage the immune system?

– Immunosuppressive diseases

– Malnutrition

– Alcohol, tobacco and drug use

– Obesity

– the radiation

– Chemotherapy

– Immune senescence

Certain foods:

Coffee, red meat, sugary soft drinks, excess salt, and dairy products.

 

8 What food can naturally strengthen our immune system?

Vitamin C: this vitamin performs the function of strengthening the immune system and generating natural defenses against diseases. It is recommended to consume daily doses of vitamin C which can be present in fruits or vegetables such as orange, grapefruit, tomatoes, broccoli, potatoes, melon and other…

Vitamin B6: Vitamin B6 is vital for supporting the biochemical reactions of the immune system.

 

Vitamin B6

 

Vitamin E.

And also:

– Coconut and coconut oil
– Local, organic and raw vegetables. Vegetables are the best allies to strengthen our immune defenses
– Red fruits and citrus
– Mushrooms
– Chlorella
– Propolis and bee pollen
– Green tea
– Garlic

So eating colorful vegetables is a very wise decision.

 

9 What simple, home-based exercises can strengthen our immune system?

Being active is important:
You don’t have to go to the gym to exercise. The important thing is to avoid a sedentary lifestyle. Take advantage of any time to “move”, it stimulates the generation of adrenaline and increases the defenses of our immune system.

10 What good lifestyle habits can naturally strengthen our immune system?

1. Drink lots of water.

If the Covid-19 virus is in your nose and / or throat, Drinking water will destroy the virus thanks to the high acidity in your stomach. Consuming between 10 and 12 glasses of water a day boosts the immune system as it expels toxins from the body.

 

 

 

2. Do relaxation exercises.

Take at least 15 minutes a day to sit and do deep breathing exercises: place your hands on the abdomen and try to inflate the stomach like someone who inflates a ball; then breathe out slowly until all the air is exhausted.

 

3. Activate circulation.

When bathing, alternate hot and cold water. This will stimulate the formation of white blood cells.

4. Eat lemon.

Due to its high concentrations of vitamin C, it is essential to avoid colds and thus weaken the strength of your immune system. Lemon dew helps maintain the properties of food and prevents oxidation, which aids digestion.

 

5. Sleep.

Taking advantage of natural light is essential so as not to interrupt the physiological processes that occur at night, thereby recovering energy and increasing defenses.

 

6. Eat coconuts.

They are rich in vitamin E and selenium which stimulate the production of antioxidants and favor their absorption.

 

7. Eat iron.
Meats in general, eggs and legumes provide iron, which is vital for the immune system to respond quickly to diseases such as anemia, which weakens the defenses and increases the risk of the Covid-19 virus.
