Super immune system combo: How this works
Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, most of us have spent the past three months trying to avoid contact with other people. Companies either closed down or, when appropriate, allowed employees to work from home. As per the CDC recommendations, if we did have to go to a public place, we wore masks, practiced frequent hand-washing and made sure to keep a safe distance from others. We did all of this to slow the spread of this sometimes deadly virus.
Now, as a number of states have eased restrictions and are encouraging businesses to slowly begin the process of returning to normal, it’s important to recognize that the Coronavirus has not gone away. You still need to take measures to protect yourself from becoming infected.
Along with continuing to follow the CDC guidelines as much as possible, supporting a strong immune system is your best defense against contracting the virus. This is particularly important given the tremendous stress that COVID-19 has caused across the United States.
The mind/body connection
There’s no question that dealing with a global pandemic has had a powerful effect on the psychological health of the population. Anxiety over the virus itself, the complete disruption of our normal lives, and the devastating impact the shut-down has had on the economy are difficult enough, but having to go through it without the support system of friends and family have added an extra layer of stress.
Extensive research into the mind/body connection has proven that there’s a direct correlation between psychological health and physical health. “Decades of research has shown that loneliness and isolation are associated with high blood pressure, chronic inflammation, weakened immune systems and a host of other health issues.”1
The result is that we find ourselves in a position where we are not only under a continued threat of being exposed to the virus, but our ability to fight it off may have been weakened by the events of the last few months.
Supplements that support immune health
In response to this situation, Vegan Life Nutrition has put together a combination of supplements that work together to help support good immune health. “The immune system is strongly influenced by the intake of nutrients.”2 Our Immune System Pack contains a powerful blend of nutrients that work toward improving health and strengthening immune response.
PowerHI: Natural enzymes and antioxidants that promote healing ability.
Pure C: Vitamin C is necessary for proper functioning of specific immune system cells.
D3 1000IU Gummies: Vitamin D can modulate the innate and adaptive immune response.
Marine Phytoplankton: Plays a role in immune system regulation.
Until such time as scientists are able to produce a treatment and/or widely available vaccine for Coronavirus, we may have to accept that life will not return to “normal” for a while. The best thing you can do is avoid exposure to the virus, and take good care of your health, including supporting your immune system.
