There can be no doubt that this is a good time to up your health game with some supplements, exercise, sunshine, turning that frowny upside downy etc. Without serious immune compromising conditions like obesity or diabetes or heart issues or others, immune system should be able to kick this thing's butt.
And if there are co-existing problems, then upping the immune system is all the more important.
“Without serious immune compromising conditions like obesity or diabetes or heart issues or others, immune system should be able to kick this thing’s butt. “
Our immune system is what kills us.
The novel coronavirus seems to hijack a body’s immune response so that the initial inflammatory phase is overstimulated. This is dangerous because it can damage critical organs, according to Lancaster.
“The lungs, the heart, those things can’t withstand a severe inflammatory response for too long,” she said.
For the lungs in particular, leakier blood can flood the air sacs with fluid, making it harder for a patient to breathe and get oxygen needed to keep other organs functioning.
The overproduction of these inflammatory signals, or cytokines, is sometimes referred to as a “cytokine storm...”
In patients with severe cases of COVID-19, these cytokine storms cause havoc and somehow block T and B cells from helping effectively.
Vitamin deficiency was a big point the Dr. made.
