1. Wash Hands Frequently
Wash your hands regularly using either soap and water or an alcohol-based rub, which can help kill off any viruses and prevent the spread of germs. Be sure to wash hands for at least 20 seconds before eating and after coughing, sneezing, blowing your nose or using the bathroom.
2. Maintain Distance
Ideally, try to maintain at least three feet of distance from anyone who is coughing or sneezing. This can help prevent you from breathing in any liquid droplets containing the virus, which can be sprayed through the nose or mouth through coughing and sneezing.
3. Clean and Disinfect Surfaces
Viruses can live on surfaces for up to 48 hours. Washing and disinfecting surfaces that you regularly use can help block the spread of germs to prevent infection. Use disinfectants on objects like phones, computers, utensils, dishware, and door handles.
4. Avoid Touching Eyes, Nose and Mouth
Your hands can pick up viruses from the surfaces that you touch. Touching your face with unwashed hands can transfer these germs, which can then enter the body and cause infection.
5. Practice Respiratory Hygiene
Coughing or sneezing into your elbow or using a tissue to cover your mouth can help prevent the spread of germs and viruses. Be sure to also dispose of used tissues immediately and wash your hands thoroughly after exposure to any respiratory secretions.
Staying home when you’re sick.
Staying home if you’ve been exposed to a sick family or household member.
Covering your nose or mouth with a mask or cloth if you are sick and have to be around others at a community gathering of people.
Natural Remedies
In addition to practicing the strategies i mentioned, incorporating a few immune-boosting natural remedies into your routine may also be beneficial.
1. Vitamin C
Vitamin C plays a central role in immune function and could be a useful tool to help boost your body’s defenses against coronavirus.
Daily needs for vitamin C for prevention is 300 milligrams daily and to fight an infection, 1,000–3,000 milligrams daily. The best dietary sources of vitamin C are fruits and veggies, including citrus fruits like oranges lemon, limes, tomatoes, peppers and berries.
2.Vitamin D3 :
D3 is also beneficial for its ability to enhance immunity and protect against infection. A deficiency in this important micronutrient can actually increase the risk of infection, and vitamin D3 is also integral to the function of immune cells in the body. Dosage recommendations vary from 400 to 800 IU per day to up to 5,000 IU.
3. Licorice root and elderberry syrup
Glycyrrhizin, an active compound found in licorice root, may possess powerful virus-fighting properties.
4. Immune-boosting foods and herbs that support the lungs
This includes foods that are light yellow or white in color, including:
broth
Garlic
Ginger
Consume a diet rich in vegetables, vitamin C–rich fruits, manuka honey, herbs like echinacea and spices. An ideal meal for boosting immunity, for example, is homemade soup with ginger and garlic added.
5. Don’t panic
Living in a constant state of anxiety and fear is not healthy. Finding ways to lower stress through regular exercise, spending time in nature, practicing meditation and getting plenty of sleep on a daily basis all help optimize immune function and decrease the effects of stress that are all too often a part of our lives today.
If you have been diagnosed for coronavirus stay calm and follow your doctor’s instructions so that you can recover and help prevent it from spreading.
