Corona Virus
I can not be on Instagram and not write about Corona, even though, like everyone else, I am learning as I go along.
What I do know however is that fear or anxiety ruins our immune system.
Today’s The Times newspaper says ‘anxiety is viral but we don’t have to catch it’. How true is that!
Of course we have to do our best, self isolating, social distancing and boosting our immunity. These we know, but we should also learn from the Italian spirit: singing from our balconies, joking, laughing at ourselves, smiling to each other..and why not?
Life should be fun and we can make it fun! We can also let Corona bring out the best in us; we can offer help to those who need it most, to those who are less fortunate than ourselves.
Last but not least, a little nutritional immune support:
Best foods are those rich in quercetin, such as broccoli, apples, grapes, green tea, leafy vegetables, olives
Best supplements: Zinc, vitamin C and D
Stay away from anti- inflammatories, corticosteroids and other immune suppressants
And very importantly, take this opportunity to stop smoking!
