Most Comprehensive Covid-19 article in London….
First noted in China, the new COVID-19 virus has quickly started to spread throughout the world.
The UK is one of the unfortunate countries to be heavily affected by this new type of coronavirus that was first discovered at the end of 2019.
In a recent report1, it was found that the coronavirus outbreak is spreading rather quickly in London particularly.
The Public Health England Website has since initiated a system specifically to provide data on the spreading of the coronavirus outbreak2.
This allows the public to be aware of the status related to the COVID-19 virus at all times.
The Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, had made his first announcement on 16 Mar 2020.
He will be providing a daily update on the situation through a press conference.
This ensures the public can be kept aware of the situation.
New updates on the actions taken by the British government will also be revealed by the Prime Minister.
Current Status Of Coronavirus COVID-19 Outbreak In UK And London
As of 19 Mar 2020, a total of 2,626 cases of COVID-19 were confirmed in the United Kingdom.
An estimated 152 new cases of the virus are reported in the country every day.
Thus far, 52 patients have recovered successfully.
The death count as of the latest report from the Public Health England system is 104.
18 March 2020 marked the biggest concern, with 676 new cases of COVID-19 reported.
England has the majority of cases related to COVID-19 in the UK.
A total of 1,196 cases of COVID-19 currently affect patients in London and the surrounding regions of England.
How The UK Is Responding To The Pandemic
The UK is rapidly implementing a range of strategies in order to gain more control over the COVID-19 pandemic.
Here is an overview of some recent events published by the UK government as a way of helping to reduce the spreading of the COVID-19 infection:
- A nationwide closure of all theatres was requested on 17 March 2020.
The announcement was sent to the Society of London Theatre, also known as the SOLT.
The society is involved with hundreds of different theatres throughout the UK.
The SOLT did reply and confirm that the decision was definitely not easy to make, but it is a critical part of helping with the current pandemic being faced.
- During the afternoon of 16 Mar 2020, Boris Johnson, Prime Minister, announced that all contact that is non-essential need to be avoided as far as possible.
The Prime Minister advised the local population to start working from home if possible.
Individuals are also advised not to visit theatres, clubs, or any type of pub.
Any travel that is considered the non-essential need to be avoided too.
- Matt Hancock, Health Secretary, also had a meeting at the Cabinet Office on 16 March to provide an overview of stricter measures that need to be implemented to tackle the coronavirus epidemic.
No comments were made regarding these measures by the Health Secretary or the Chief Medical Officer.
- Goldsmith University also suspended all face-to-face teaching until further notice.
- Award ceremonies in the UK have been put to hold until further notice too.
- Some GP practices have started to cancel providing face-to-face appointments to patients.
- Schools were closed
These are only some of the measures that have already been taken.
While it may seem drastic, it is crucial to understand that these are absolutely necessary to minimise the spreading of the COVID-19 virus.
The UK has also announced that they are changing the way they are fighting the COVID-19 virus.
At first, it would be thought that a herd immunity might have worked.
This is where a large proportion of the population is allowed to become ill.
Immunity is built up by those who got sick.
In normal circumstances, however, vaccinations are used.
In this case, no vaccination is available.
The virus is still new, and no vaccination has yet been discovered.
Officials from the UK government agree that relying on herd immunisation with the COVID-19 outbreak is no longer considered a safe approach.
It has been suggested that the current strategy presented by the UK would have led to the death of at least 260,000 citizens – our UK government acts strongly to prevent this to happen.
What Is Coronavirus?
Before we take a closer look at the COVID-19 and all the news topics related to the virus spreading in the UK, let’s take a moment to look at what the disease is.
There is actually a really big chance that you have been infected with a coronavirus in the past.
Coronavirus refers to a family of viruses.
These viruses were discovered quite a long time ago.
They cause the common cold that you tend to get as winter months’ strike.
There are actually a few common coronaviruses that scientists have discovered in the past.
The most common coronavirus is what causes the cold that many people get.
When you have a cold, you are likely infected with this particular coronavirus.
Symptoms will generally be mild, and your immune system is likely able to ward off the invading viruses.
Two other types of coronaviruses were discovered in the past3.
These included:
- MERS-CoV
- SARS-CoV
Both of these were considered relatively dangerous at the time of discovery.
Today, however, they have almost been completely wiped out.
At the end of 2019, a new type of coronavirus was identified4.
The virus was first discovered in Wuhan, which is a town in China.
Symptoms started as typical pneumonia, but doctors realised that it was a novel coronavirus that infected the patient.
How Did This New Coronavirus Spread To Humans?
Several suggestions have been made on how the new COVID-19 virus could have spread to humans.
The first case of the virus was only reported to the World Health Organization a few months ago.
There was confusion during the initial case.
It was only later identified that a novel coronavirus was the infectious pathogen.
The “novel” term is used to declare the fact that the virus has not yet been previously identified.
Previous pandemics where a coronavirus caused serious concern in several countries involved a virus pathogen that spread from an animal to a human.
A Himalayan palm civet was considered the cause behind the SARS-CoV virus.
With the MERS-CoV, it was thought that the virus spread from a dromedary camel to a human.
Bats were also considered a possibility during the time.
With the new COVID-19 virus, things are still very unclear.
Researchers have officially named the new novel coronavirus SARS-Cov-2, due to the similarities it has with a previous coronavirus that causes a healthcare pandemic.
At the moment, there isn’t too much data to suggest the exact origin of the SARS-CoV-2 or COVID-19 virus.
Researchers have suggested that it is likely to have originated from an animal source too, similar to as with the previous serious coronavirus epidemics the world had faced in the past5.
There are some reports that suggest the coronavirus might have originated from a wet market in the Wuhan city of China6.
Here, exotic animals and fish are farmed and stacked into cages.
These are only speculations.
Further research is still needed to provide more accurate evidence on which animal might have transmitted the COVID-19 virus to a human.
What Are The Main Symptoms Of COVID-19?
Due to the rising prevalence of COVID-19, especially in such a short time span, it is crucial that you acknowledge yourself with the symptoms.
Remember that this is a virus that has some similar features as the coronaviruses that have already been known to man.
The problem is, due to the new type of coronavirus, it is difficult to treat the condition and even harder to create an effective vaccination.
You need to recognise signs of COVID-19 early on.
This helps to ensure you do not cause a further increase in the current rate at which the virus is being spread throughout London and the remainder of the UK.
Several publications have made the common symptoms associated with COVID-19 available to the general public.
It is crucial for you to learn more about these symptoms.
This ensures you can identify them in yourself.
It also ensures you can recognise when a loved one, co-worker, or someone in your surroundings may express signs of the COVID-19.
Even when these symptoms are just a sign of a regular cold, it is always better to be safe and practice precaution.
There are two primary symptoms that the NHS advises you to look out for.
These two important symptoms include7:
- Fever and high temperature. You may find that you feel hot to the touch. This will especially be on your back and your chest area.
- Continuous coughing that suddenly starts. Repeated coughing will be persistent and is another important sign of COVID-19.
When you have these symptoms, it is generally advised to remain home.
Do not go to a hospital or a pharmacy, or even to a general practitioner.
You should call 111 and report your case.
Based on the NHS advice, you should tell the helpline everything about your symptoms and agree with them if you will remain at home.
The NHS has a helpline that can assist in cases where the patient feels that they are unable to cope with their symptoms at home.
The 111 helplines can be called if you feel that your symptoms are becoming worse.
The NHS will act accordingly to ensure you can gain access to the healthcare services required.
You are also advised to remain home if you feel any of these symptoms develop.
If you are the only person with symptoms, remain home for a minimum period of seven days.
If other people are present in your home, you should remain home for a minimum period of 14 days.
Other symptoms that you could also notice including a runny nose and a sore throat.
Some people may have signs of pneumonia too.
Difficulty breathing is only found in more severe cases of COVID-19 infection.
How Is COVID-19 Diagnosed?
Diagnosis of COVID-19 is essential in the fight against the pandemic.
Failure to gain an early diagnosis for the disease makes it more likely for you to spread the virus to more people.
It is important that you understand self-diagnosis should not be made.
If you do develop symptoms, it is generally advised that you remain home.
Still, a diagnosis can be very helpful.
According to one publication8, there is currently concern about adequate testing mechanisms throughout the world.
This does make it harder to accurately diagnose people with COVID-19.
The main issue here is that faster diagnosis techniques are needed in order to further prevent the disease from spreading.
Laboratory testing is currently the preferred mechanism used to test for the COVID-19 virus.
This is an official recommendation that the World Health Organization has submitted9.
A blood sample of the patient is used in order to facilitate the testing procedure.
This will help the laboratory determine if the newly discovered COVID-19 virus is present in the patient’s body.
Several other testing methods are currently being evaluated.
This would help to speed up the process of testing and diagnosing the disease.
Corona Virus Antibody Tests
Both immunoassay and molecular testing mechanisms are currently being considered.
An immunoassay is considered highly sensitive, and these tests are specific.
They help in the detection of antibodies and antigens.
An antibody tests is a very efficient but, relatively cheap therefore, it will be very useful in detecting changes related to corona virus in an evidence based manner.
Learn more about corona virus testing at these links here and here.
There are also several institutes and universities working on methods to provide faster and more efficient diagnostic tools.
At the moment, an in vitro diagnostic test seem to have potential.
This mechanism would detect SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid.
This is a type of molecular assays testing procedure.
More than 200 expressions of interest submissions have been received for the use of this particular diagnostic tool at the time.
Who Are At Most Risk For COVID-19?
Some people seem to be at a higher risk of being infected with the COVID-19 virus.
For this reason, you should educate yourself on the most important risk factors.
This can help you determine just how much of a risk you have.
Furthermore, some people are also at a higher risk of experiencing serious complications when they become infected with the new novel coronavirus.
People who are most vulnerable in terms of infection and complications include:
- Pregnant women
- People with a weakened immune system
- People who have a long-term chronic health condition
- Breastfeed babies
- People who are 70 years or older
How To Protect The Most Vulnerable People From Covid-19
It is particularly important that we do our best to keep these individuals away from the COVID-19 virus.
If you experience symptoms associated with this viral infection, try to avoid or at least limit your exposure to these individuals as much as you can.
There are several conditions that can cause a person to have a weakened immune system.
Any of these conditions may increase an individual’s risk of experiencing a more serious infection from the COVID-19 infection.
Some important immune system disorders that you should take into consideration include10:
- AIDS, which is caused by the HIV virus. This is an acquired infection that destroys white blood cells in your body.
In turn, your immune system becomes significantly weaker.
This means you will be less likely to have an immune system that can effectively fight against the COVID-19 virus.
- Severe combined immunodeficiency is another important condition to consider.
This type of condition is something that a child is born with.
There is a consistent fear of infections in these children.
Children and adults with SCID are at a higher risk of COVID-19 infection.
- A temporary acquired immune deficiency may also contribute to a higher risk.
This includes people who are currently undergoing treatment for cancer, diabetes etc.
- Having recently undergone an episode of mononucleosis, measles, or the flu causes the immune system to become weaker for a short period of time too.
There are a couple of lifestyle factors that can also hinder your immune system.
If you drink alcohol, this is one factor that you should take note of.
Smoking has also been shown to weaken the immune system.
Thus, if you are a smoker, then it is definitely time to consider stopping.
Poor nutrition is another critical culprit that we have to consider.
A diet that features a weak nutritional profile increases the chances that you build a weak immune system.
Boosting the number of your good bacteria in your gut as discussed in my previous articles I’ve published here and here will significantly help you strengthen your immunity.
This is why personalised nutrition is a great way to get the boost in immunity you need.
You can find out how a personalised eating and focused nutrition plan can strengthen your body, lose weight / or put on healthy weight (if you need too) and provide your body with strong immune benefits through a free consultation here.
Middle-Aged People At Risk Too
With these factors in mind, we should look at people in the age group 25 to 45.
Most individuals consider the elderly to be at the highest risk.
Yet, several individuals in this particular age group have already been affected.
If you fall within this age group, consider factors in your life that may be contributing to a weakened immune system.
As previously mentioned, there is a big concern regarding alcohol usage and even smoking.
Both of these elements can have a significant adverse impact on your immune function.
Recent reports suggest that at least 20 million people in Britain are physically inactive11.
Different Exercises Stimulates Different Metabolic Effects
There are studies that show exercise has a potent effect on making the immune system more effective12.
Just like foods exercises are not equal but, did you know that different exercises have different metabolic effects (see my previous article here)?
Customised exercises designed for your needs in an evidence-based, structured way will help your immune system become stronger.
At the same time, it is important to note that the study explains the type of exercises used seem to play a role.
In my personal view when designing a personal training programme more proven clinical effects should be considered and consequently incorporated into your online 121 fitness training by your London personal trainer.
This is why a smartly structured personalised fitness programme for middle-aged individuals would yield the best results.
Through a free consultation, these individuals can get a fitness or weight loss programme tailored for their:
- age,
- gender,
- metabolism
- body type,
- stress levels etc – which will focus on enhancing the individual’s general immune function effectively.
Total Coronavirus Cases In China – What’s The Actual Ratio?
China is the country where the coronavirus originally came from.
It is thought that the virus was first transferred from an animal source at a “wet market” to a human subject.
Following this event, the virus quickly started to spread in the country – and today, it is a word that everyone knows around the world.
Due to the origin of the virus being China, most reported cases also still seem to stem from the country.
Counts of causes related to coronavirus, particularly COVID-19, is already closing in on 100,000, according to data on the WorldoMeters13 platform.
As of 17 Mar 2020, there are 80,881 confirmed cases of coronavirus in China.
Among the 80,881 confirmed cases of COVID-19, a total of 68,709 have been able to effectively recover from the condition to date.
The total number of deaths reported by China is 3,226.
However, with 3405 recorded deaths up to this point Italy surpassed China.
Currently, 8,946 people are reported to be infected with the COVID-19 virus in China.
An estimated 36% of these are either serious or critical.
The remainder 64% have a mild condition and are very likely to recover.
Recent reports have noted some confusion regarding the actual count for coronavirus cases in China.
One report14 claims that there is confusion as to how China counts for cases of coronavirus.
There is also some speculation that China may not be revealing the actual number of coronavirus cases that have been reported in the country.
If this is true it really makes things a lot more difficult since the grossly underreported number of deaths can make professionals underestimate the virus effects thus, provide us with a false sense of security.
Extra Dangers Of Corona Virus
There are several cases reported thus far where the COVID-19 virus did not cause serious effects.
A majority of individuals affected thus far were able to recover successfully from the virus.
With this in mind, there were still a couple of more serious cases reported.
For this reason, you should ensure you understand the dangers that may come with an infection from this particular virus.
Respiratory implications would be considered the most important dangers associated with the COVID-19 virus.
There have been reported of people who were unable to breathe properly when they were infected with the virus.
Difficulty breathing can cause serious complications, especially when medical intervention is not provided quickly.
Several people have also passed away from the COVID-19 viral infection.
Thus, everyone does need to be careful and stay in touch with your MD.
Current Treatments Used To Assist In The Fight Against COVID-19
In just a short while, pharmaceutical companies and scientists have come up with drugs that show promise in fighting against the new COVID-19 coronavirus.
These do not hold an official cure for the virus.
They may, however, help reduce the fatality rate currently faced with the coronavirus pandemic.
Some people infected with the COVID-19 virus have been able to successfully recover from the virus when they were prescribed these particular drugs.
Some of the drugs currently showing promise include:
- Favipiravir: This is one of the latest drugs that seem to be used. One report claims that 1,425 patients infected with COVID-19 were successfully cured using Favipiravir.
The announcement was made by China health officials22.
The drug reduced the fever duration from 4.2 days to about 2.5 days among patients infected with this new coronavirus23.
Reports claim that there were no clear side-effects, yielding this as a potentially safe treatment option.
- Remdesivir: The Remdesivir drug was first made about a decade ago in a laboratory. It showed hopes of fighting against general coronaviruses.
The drug was effective at fighting off both the SARS-CoV and the MERS-CoV.
It works by preventing virus replication.
Now, the drug is making a comeback and quickly send to various areas of the planet.
It may help with the fight against the new COVID-19 virus too since it holds similarities to the SARS-CoV coronavirus24.
The specialist working with National Institute of Health (NIH), rear admiral Richard Childs reported that four patients with an average of 75 years old have been cured and are corona virus free.
No adverse events were noted when the drug was given to patients over a period of seven days.
- Chloroquine Phosphate: Another antiviral drug with potential is Chloroquine Phosphate.
A recent study25 found that Chloroquine Phosphate holds potential as a treatment against the COVID-19 coronavirus.
It also helps with treating pneumonia associated with an infection with the COVID-19 virus.
Antivirals Or Natural Supplements To Fight COVID-19
Strengthening the immune system is currently a critical factor in the fight against the coronavirus.
There are many strategies that have already been suggested.
You might have heard that you need to become more physically active, for example.
This is a very useful way of boosting your immunity.
Adopting a healthy diet that is free of toxic ingredients is another helpful option.
Apart from these, there are additional specific strategies that you can follow to strengthen up your immune system and equip yourself against the COVID-19 virus.
Boost Your Immunity Against Coronavirus, Cold and Flu
In this section, I am going to take a look at a few helpful strategies to help you in the fight against this new pandemic.
Some of the strategies I share with you here will be related to antiviral techniques.
These help to fight directly against viruses, including the common cold.
Other strategies I share will rather assist in enhancing your immune system.
When you have a stronger immune system, your body becomes more capable of defending itself against invading pathogens.
You should not self-diagnose and keep in touch with your NHS professionals, but, if you don’t have any sensitivities and allergies (you must check on it) these strategies could help you become significantly stronger.
- If you suspect any sensitivities or allergies towards any of these choices discussed below you must not use them.
Elderberry
My first recommendation is elderberry.
This is a fruit that you can find in various forms.
Studies have shown that elderberry might be useful in helping you fight against a cold.
In one study15, researchers found those who took an elderberry supplement had reduced duration of cold symptoms.
The symptoms experienced by these individuals were also less severe.
While elderberry has not been tested against the COVID-19 infection, it does seem to hold potential at helping to reduce symptoms of general colds.
The results were compared to a placebo group.
This was a double-blind study.
Goldenseal
Another option for fighting against infection is goldenseal.
The scientific name would be Hydrastis Canadensis.
This is another plant extract that may hold potential, particularly when it comes to warding off viral infections.
In one study16, researchers showed that the use of Hydrastis Canadensis extracts effectively inhibited the growth of influenza A virus.
When used as an alcohol-free tincture allows it to go through the trachea and other parts of your respiratory system; therefore, it might be helpful.
Before using it, make sure that you research the side effects first.
High Dose Vitamin C
A megadose of vitamin C may be helpful in some cases.
It is possible to obtain a megadose of vitamin C through oral administration.
Alternatively, a megadose can be delivered through intravenous administration too.
The university hospital of Wuhan registered high doses of intravenous vitamin C as a phase 2 clinical trial through professor ZhiYong Pend MD.
He is working for the Department of Critical Care Medicine in the same hospital.
Dr ZhiYong Peng described his experience working with high doses of intravenous Vit C in treating severe acute respiratory diseases (SARI) as very promising.
The outcome of the clinical trial will be made public in the next six months.
However, there are a few factors that need to be taken into consideration.
You must not give yourself a high dose of vitamin C without the supervision of your MD healthcare professional.
There are a few side-effects associated with such factors.
Even though a megadose of vitamin C would generally be considered safe, there are still a number of risks that you need to take note of17.
Taking a high dose of vitamin C over a long term puts you at risk of kidney stones, for example.
This may lead to complications like urinary tract infections.
Bone spurs have also been linked to significantly high doses of vitamin C over a long period of time.
Additionally, you may alter the way your body absorbs some of the other nutrients when you take too much vitamin C.
The primary concerns here would include vitamin B12, as well as copper.
Furthermore, be careful with your iron levels.
If you take very high levels of vitamin C, then you may suffer from a surge in iron levels.
This could also lead to some adverse effects.
Appropriate levels of iron are optimum in terms of health support whilst large doses of iron would be very toxic to your body.
Professional nutrition services London would be able to help you determine the right amount of vitamin C to take each day, preferably from foods.
This would ensure your immune system can effectively benefit from the use of vitamin C, without causing any complications due to an excessively and unsupervised high dose.
Ozone Therapy
While still a relatively new subject, oZone therapy is something else that you might want to look at.
There is a lot of research that supports the use of ozone therapy at the moment.
Generally, O3 is considered a particularly dangerous gas.
There are researchers who have been able to use O3 as a way of rather providing health-related benefits to the population.
In some EU countries, there are nationally licensed medical doctors (by their NHS like system) administrating oZone therapy.
One study18 explains that ozone therapy may assist as a disinfectant.
It can effectively fight off the following pathogenic microbes:
- Bacteria
- Viruses
- Protozoa
- Yeast
- Fungi
Ozone therapy also seems to be effective as stimulating oxygen metabolism and activating the immune system.
In some cases Covid-19 complications might lead to critical pulmonary pathologies (pneumonia) whilst, ozone improves lung and peripheral tissue oxygenation. 28
Both of these mechanisms may come into play when fighting against a condition like the COVID-19 viral infection.
Some professionals in London may even prefer the use of ozone therapy now to help boost the immune system of the client whilst in another countries like Germany, Romania or Russia where Ozone therapy is administered by a licenced medical doctor therefore, it may have some value.
Along with a personalised strategy that focuses on an exercise programme and a diet plan, the combined effects could possibly provide you with a significant increase in the general strength of your immune function.
If you want to find out more about such programmes and how they can help you, consider booking a free consultation with one of the best nutritionists in London to help you get started.
Saikosaponins
Another useful antiviral strategy for fighting against coronaviruses and other viral microbes include Saikosaponins.
There are several plant-based components that are in the form of Saikosaponins.
Glucosides are very common types of Saikosaponins.
Several plans contain these components.
They have multiple medicinal properties that you can take advantage of.
One study26 showed that Saikosaponins seem to be highly effective at acting as an antiviral against coronaviruses.
While COVID-19 is not mentioned in the study, it still falls within the family of coronaviruses.
Echinacea
Echinacea is a herb often advised for its antiviral properties.
The herb is often advised to help keep flu and cols away.
There are also several studies that show Echinacea is effective at fighting against viral infections and viruses.
One study27 also shows that extracts of the Echinacea help to boost the immune system.
With this in mind, the immune system becomes stronger to fight against invading viruses.
Multivitamin Supplementation
To equip your body for the months to come, you need to get your immune system to become stronger and more efficient.
This means ensuring you get all of the nutrients your body needs each day.
Getting an adequate dose of every single nutrient can be difficult from food alone but, with professional support – it is very possible.
However, if you find it hard, try to add a multivitamin supplement to your daily routine too.
But, you must avoid synthetic formulations since one beta carotene study had to be stopped due to an increased cancer rate whilst naturally occurring supplements had the opposite effect.
A general multivitamin might be useful, but do take note of the specific vitamins, minerals, and other ingredients that are added to the formula.
There are certain ingredients that have been shown to have a more particular effect on your immune system.
The following are ingredients that you might want to take a look at:
- Zinc: Zinc is a mineral. It is also called a trace mineral. Your body only needs a small amount of zinc every day.
It plays a very important part of keeping your immune system functioning normally.
One study19 shows that zinc is critical for the functioning of the immune system.
A weaker immune system means you are more prone to infections, including viral infections.
You might want to assess if any of these 30 high rich zinc sources I made available on my site years ago are still suitable (make sure you aren’t allergic to any of these food sources!) for you.
- Vitamin D: Many people associated with vitamin D with bone growth and skin health.
What you may not know is that vitamin D also plays a crucial part in the regulation of your immune system.
One paper20 explains that vitamin D receptors are expressed on several immune cells.
This means vitamin D plays a role in B cells, antigen-presenting cells, and in T cells.
- Selenium: An often overlooked supplement, selenium is just as important.
Selenium is actually one of the cheaper supplements you get that helps to regulate your immune system.
One study21 shows that selenium is incorporated into selenoproteins.
These selenoproteins play a role in the immune function of the human body.
One of the best selenium-rich sources is brazil nuts.
In order to ensure an optimum daily intake of selenium, you only need 2-4 brazil nuts/day, it depends on your body weight and other factors.
Why Personalised Personal Training Is More Effective In Boosting Immunity
Immunity is one of the most important factors you can boost when it comes to fighting against COVID-19 infection.
It has previously been established that physical activity plays an important role in helping to regulate your immune function.
If you are physically active, then your immune system will be able to fight against the COVID-19 virus more effectively.
The problem is, there are several obstacles that you may face.
You may not have a thorough understanding of the specific type of exercises that would truly benefit your immune system.
If you have any muscles / joint pain and are suffering from a background injury or any obstacles are in your way, you may feel uncertain about which activities would be best for you too.
This is where a personalised personal trainer comes into play.

Why Personalised Nutrition Diet Plans Are More Effective In Boosting Immunity
Physical activity is not enough alone to give you that boost in the immune function you need.
Different foods create different metabolic effects whilst we have different gender, age, stress and activity level, genetics etc, we are all different.
To effectively fight against the COIVD-19 virus, as well as other common illnesses, you need to consider your personal diet too.
There is a common problem among the general population of the UK where people are following poor diets.
There isn’t a single diet plan that fits everyone.
This is something that you have to understand.
Eating a healthy meal plan is different for you than it would be for a friend or family member.
Each person has a unique body.
Your own specific dietary requirements would be different from a friend or other individual.
Thus, personalisation with your nutrition and diet plan can also be exceptionally helpful when boosting your immunity.
A personalised programme would focus on dietary needs you require – by considering specific:
- nutritional deficiencies,
- body weight,
- metabolism,
- body type,
- gender,
- activity levels,
- age
- medical history
- any particular health conditions that may be interfering with your body’s ability to absorb nutrients.
Conclusion
Coronavirus is currently a topic that causes panic and stress among the worldwide population.
Every country is doing its part to help minimise the risk of the virus spreading further.
In the UK, several cases of viral infection have been confirmed.
The UK officials have also implemented strategies to help contain the current infection rate.
One of the best strategies to reduce your own risk is to boost your immunity.
This may yield a better resistance to the coronavirus.
Personalised nutrition and a personal exercise plan can help to tailor a strategy specific to you and can be safely delivered online.
With a personalised strategy, you can gain a more significant advantage against the new COVID-19 virus.
Both, your customised exercise programme and personalised nutrition are successfully completed online – you get the best support whilst 100% avoid face to face contamination.
This would also strengthen your immune system against other common illnesses, such as colds and flu.
Find out how you can improve your immunity with a personalised plan through a free consultation.
