8 ways to prevent Initial infection with COVID-19 virus

 

The Covid virus (COVID-19), or the former name we call the coronavirus, is currently spreading. Those infected with severe symptoms often have symptoms of pneumonia and can be life-threatening. It is well known that the disease can spread from person to person. Whether it's from coughing, sneezing, or contact with the secretions of an infected person.

To prevent infection, we can start taking care of ourselves as follows.
  1. Wear a hygienic mask. And wash your hands often with soap for at least 30 seconds. If it's not convenient, you should use alcohol gel or spray.
  2. Get enough rest at least 8-9 hours per day and go to bed before 10 PM to boost your immune system.
  3. Eat clean, cooked food and use a medium spoon every time.
  4. Eat foods rich in antioxidants, such as colorful vegetables and fruits, as well as supplements such as cordyceps, reishi mushrooms, vitamins C and E, etc.
  5. Avoid traveling to high-risk, crowded areas with many people.
  6. Exercise regularly
  7. Reduce stress because stress causes the immune system (NK Cell Activity) to decrease.
  8. Consult an expert doctor To check the function of the immune system (NK Cell Activity) to see if it is at a normal level or not.

If you find that you have respiratory symptoms such as coughing, runny nose, shortness of breath, and fever, you should immediately contact us to get tested to receive treatment according to the next steps.
