Coronavirus: 6 Nutrition, Vitamins & Supplements Tips to Strengthen Your Immunity

The hell has broken down and the fire is all around. Coronavirus pandemic cases are rising every single day creating panic among people around the globe. There is no antidote, vaccination, cure or treatment for Covid-19 yet.

The confirmed cases have risen to 418 in India, making the situation critical being it is the second-largest population in the world. However, after the 'Janta Curfew' on Sunday, the major cities are under lockdown in India to combat coronavirus. While we can't see how worst the consequences of this wildfire will be like. One thing for sure is while we all fear things, let's get responsible and take charge.

If you are mentally and physically fit, you can surely fit anything. We already told you the Coronavirus: Prevention Measure and Covid-19: Do's and Don’ts. Now we bring you a full-fledged guide on what you should eat and what you shouldn't. From which nutrition, vitamins to supplements here's everything you need to include in your diet to boost your immunity.

Vitamins and Food for Good

This is the time when immunity is our top priority. Vitamins play an essential role in building our body. It's crucial to understand what we intake and what we don't.

Start with the following dosage:
    Fenugreek Water
    Vitamin B12 with methylcobalamin (around 1200-1500mg)
    Vitamin D3 (2000ru every day or 6000ru once a week)
    Vitamin C with zinc (there are various supplements available for the same)
    Include high protein in your meals and Turmeric based substance (tofu, nuts, cottage cheese, and soybean)

Say No To Raw
No matter how much ever you love raw food, give it a break for some time. While salads are good for health, keeping the present scenario in mind, let's give it a skip. Opt for a properly cooked meal and try to consume small portions throughout the day. Don't overeat!

Soup or One-Pot Meal
Cooking at times can be tedious when used to house-help. So opt for soups filled with a lot of vegetables or try for a one-pot meal which has a good portion of vegetables and iron. 

Sleep and Workout
If these two things are not part of your daily routine, your immunity will never improve.

Make sure you are getting a good eight hours of sleep and you are working out for at least 30 minutes every day.

Do yoga, meditation, walk around the house, stretching or skipping. 

Keep Yourself Hydrated

Water, water, water! Make sure you are consuming enough water. Be it with Vitamin C supplements like lemon, or glucose or just water with ginger/coriander, it removes all the toxins from your body. Keep your immunity intact. 

Healthy Junk

A strict no to junk is essential. Opt for fruits with some fresh yogurt or berry compote.

You can always go for a piece of bread with almond or peanut butter when looking for something to just munch.

Try These Essential Oils Yo Get Sound Sleep

Today's modern society means that life has become all the more hectic, and as a result, people often lack a good night's sleep. But this lack of sleep can cause a number of health issues. Each night we should aim to get at least 7 to 8 hours of sleep each night, enabling us to function properly throughout the day. While most people try a number of remedies to promote better sleep, what many seem to forget is how essential oils can be used to help you get your 8 hours of sleep every night. 
Essential oils have been found to be incredibly beneficial to the body. Here is a 3-ingredient foot spray which you can use at bed time, ensuring a restful night's sleep.

The benefits of massaging oils into the feet
The pores on our feet are larger than anywhere else on the body making it an effective place to rub in oils, absorbing all of their benefits. The feet also contain a number of points which are directly linked to different parts of the body, including the organs. The stimulation of these points have been found to have a positive effect on our health and overall well-being. 
Preparing the remedy
Combining these three essential oils together will vastly improve your sleep.
Ingredients:
• 10 drops lavender essential oil
• 10 drops chamomile essential oil
• 4 ounces magnesium oil
Directions:
• Pour the ingredients into a spray bottle, shaking gently.
• This mix should supply you with anywhere between 24 to 48 applications, depending on how much you use each time. 

Why do these ingredients work?

• Magnesium oil: This oil is best known for its ability to promote efficient sleep. It also acts as an amazing antidote to stress and has been called the most relaxing mineral in the body. It promotes relaxation which in turn increases your chances of getting a good night's sleep.
• Lavender oil: You can also add a few drops on your pillowcase or keep a potted lavender plant in your room. Simply smelling the plant is enough to help you relax.
• Chamomile oil: Aside from its well known benefit of promoting sleep, chamomile calms nervousness and keeps the nervous system in a state of good health and proper functioning.

Toxin in centipede venom identified

A team of researchers from several institutions  have identified the toxin in golden head centipede venom. In their paper published, the group describes how they found the toxin that makes the venom so deadly to prey and also identified a possible antidote for it.

Researchers have known for quite some time that golden head centipedes (aka the Chinese red-headed centipede), which live in Asia and Hawaii are able to subdue prey larger than its own size, in some cases, much larger—testing in a lab showed a centipede was able to take down a mouse, a creature 15 times its size. Until now, it was not known what was in the venom that made it so powerful. In this new effort, the researchers report that they have isolated the toxin in the venom, which they call Ssm Spooky Toxin—the Ssm comes from the scientific name of the centipede, Scolopendra subspinipes mutilans. The team found the toxin by testing the chemicals in the venom one by one—a laborious process. The toxin works, the team reports, by blocking potassium from moving in and out of cells. Such blockage prevents the brain from signaling the heart to beat, and the animal dies very quickly. Potassium movement is also important for cells in airways, which means the victim of a bite also starts having problems breathing.

When people are bitten by a golden head centipede, they experience a lot of pain, so much that many take themselves to a hospital for relief. It is actually quite common—in Hawaii, the researchers note, centipede bites accounted for approximately 1 in 10 emergency room visits due to natural causes over the years 2004 to 2008 (averaging approximately 400 a year). Deaths from such bites are rare, however.

Prior research has shown that a drug called retigabine is able to reestablish potassium channels—it is normally used as an anticonvulsant medicine for epilepsy patients. In this case, it might be used instead as an antidote for people bitten by the centipede.
