What to do in the time of Coronavirus 
                     This is a short summary which vitamins and minerals support our immune system.
             It is not the only function of them but in these days we have to concentrate on our immunity.

vitamin A 
  -  prevents the absorption and penetration of viruses
vitamin B6 (pyridoxin)
   -  for normal function of white blood cells 
vitamin C 
  -  supports the activity of T lymphocytes and phagocytosis - phagocytes destroy decaying cells 
vitamin D 
 - has similar to hormonal effects - prevents viruses from replicating
 - lack of vitamin D is usual , here are really needed nutritional supplements
zinc
 - prevents the absorption of the virus, gluing and replication
 - activates T lymphocytes
 - sucking lozenges every 2 hours with the onset of sensation of some cold in the mouth helps

Important is that in case of vitamin C especially during the pandemia we need much more
than the usual dose. The level of vitamin D is quite usualy low in our bodies so it is good
not to forget to enjoy more sunshine and to complete it with supplements.

I know most of it you have heard already many times but repeating cannot harm - eat well,
vegetables, fruit, lot of lemons,good meat,  take some supplements. 

Finally I have one information which is not very positive but we have to be realistic. The reproduction number of influenza virus is 1,4  but the reproduction number of coronavirus is 3,8 . Scientists say this shows it is not a seasonal virus and the epidemy will last longer.

                                                    Stay healthy = get wealhty !
