What is Corona Virus Disease?
• Coronaviruses (CoV) are a large family of
viruses that cause illness ranging from the
common cold to more severe diseases such as
Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS-
CoV) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome
(SARS-CoV).
• Corona Virus Disease (COVID-19) is a new
strain that was discovered in 2019 and has not
been previously identified in humans.
• Coronaviruses are zoonotic, meaning they are
transmitted between animals and people.
• Detailed investigations found that SARS-CoV
was transmitted from civet cats to humans
and MERS-CoV from dromedary camels to
humans.
• Several known coronaviruses are circulating in
animals that have not yet infected humans
Clinical manifestations
• Common signs of infection include :-
• respiratory symptoms
• fever
• cough
• shortness of breath
• breathing difficulties
• In more severe cases, infection can cause
pneumonia
• severe acute respiratory syndrome
• kidney failure
• even death.
Who can be more susceptible ?
• Most vulnerable are the elderly
• Also people with:-
• Cardiovascular disease
• Diabetes
• Chronic respiratory illness
• High blood pressure
• Cancer
• Immuno –compressed individuals
• HIV-positive clients
• Children and Old aged people
• Pregnant women
• According to an article in The Scientist, a
magazine for people in the life sciences field.
As Lisa Gralinski, a virologist at the University
of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, said in the
article: “If you’re over 50 or 60 and you have
some other health issues and if you’re unlucky
enough to be exposed to this virus, it could be
very bad.”
Nutritional Aspect
• A balanced diet, regular exercise and getting
enough sleep are important ways to combat the
novel corona virus, a medical expert said on
Monday.
• "It is very important to consume sufficient
amounts of protein, especially those with high
biological value such as milk, dairy products and
eggs, to boost immunity," nutrition and dietetics
expert Dr. Nevin Sanlier told Anadolu Agency.
Follow a balanced diet by consuming
adequate amounts of :-
• Dairy products such as milk, yogurt, cheese,
• Meat,
• Fish,
• Poultry, Eggs,
• Nuts,
• Beans,
• Vegetables,
• Fruits,
• Bread and
• Cereals
• one-sided diets or insufficient intake of
nutrients would increase a person's
vulnerability to infections.
• "Consumption of probiotic foods becomes
more important in strengthening the immune
system during mid-seasons and wintertime
when the body is less resistant.
• Fermented milk product such as yogurt is
important source of probiotics,"
3 NUTRIENTS TO HELP YOU FIGHT
• Eating a diet rich in nutrients, such as vitamins
A, C and E, can also help your body fight off
majority of illnessess.
• The F.D.A says that one of the best ways to
give your body the nutrients it needs is by
eating a variety of nourishing foods.
• Some people may benefit from a vitamin
supplement to meet their needs. You should
always talk to your doctor before taking any
supplements. You should also talk to your
doctor if you think you have the symptoms, so
keep an eye out for the signs and symptoms.
Vitamin A
• According to the National Institutes of
Health (NIH), vitamin A plays a role in helping the
immune system function properly. Beta-carotene
is one form of vitamin A, and it gives many foods
a bright orange color. It's easy to get adequate
levels of this vitamin through your everyday diet.
Some food sources rich in vitamin A include:
• Orange and red vegetables, such as carrots,
sweet potatoes and red peppers.
• Fruits such as apricots and mango.
• Some types of fish, such as salmon.
• Dairy products.
Vitamin C
• Vitamin C is a well-known immune system
booster. Your body cannot produce or store
vitamin C, so it's important to include it in
your daily diet. But because it's found in many
foods, most people have little issue getting
enough vitamin C. The best immune-boosting
foods rich in vitamin C include:
• Citrus fruits, such as oranges and grapefruit.
• Other fruits, such as strawberries, kiwi and
tomatoes.
• Vegetables, such as broccoli, spinach and kale.
Vitamin E
• Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant that keeps
the body's immunity strong. Your body uses
vitamin E to help your immune system fight
off any invading bacteria and viruses. Excellent
sources of vitamin E include:
• Nuts, such as almonds, hazelnuts and peanuts
and their butters and oils.
• Sunflower seeds.
• Wheat germ, sunflower and safflower oils.
• Fortified foods, including some breakfast
cereals, fruit juices, margarine and spreads.
Hydration
• You should drink water every day. Most people have
been told they should drink 6 to 8, 8-ounce glasses of
water each day. Most healthy people can stay well
hydrated by drinking water and other fluids whenever
they feel thirsty. For some people, fewer than 8 glasses
may be enough. Other people may need more than 8
glasses each day.
• If you are concerned that you are not drinking enough
water, check your urine. If your urine is usually
colorless or light yellow, you are well hydrated. If your
urine is a dark yellow or amber color, you may be
dehydrated.
The importance of hydration
• Staying hydrated during illnesses can help you
and your family recover and fluids and
electrolytes help the body work properly.
Water is key to regulating core temperature,
and dehydration can exacerbate an already
existing fever.
• When it comes to fighting illness-triggered
dehydration, fluids aren't the only factor.
• Electrolytes, including sodium, chloride and
potassium, are also lost.
• They are important to maintaining the body's
pH and helping cells absorb and use the fluids
you're taking in.
Nutritional aspects of corona [covid 19]
Things to consider
• Recognizing signs of dehydration is important.
They include:
• Little or no urine.
• Urine that is darker than usual.
• Dry mouth.
• Sleepiness or fatigue.
• Extreme thirst.
• Headache.
• Confusion.
• Lightheadedness.
• Dizziness
• No tears when crying.
Standard precautions one can take
• Standard recommendations to prevent
infection spread include regular hand
washing,
• covering mouth and nose when coughing and
sneezing,
• thoroughly cooking meat and eggs.
• Avoid close contact with anyone showing
symptoms of respiratory illness such as
coughing and sneezing.
General food safety advice
• Everyone should practice good hygiene when
preparing and handling food.
• The World Health Organization (WHO) has
issued precautionary recommendations
including advice on good hygiene practices
during food handling and preparation, they
include:
• washing hands between handling raw and
cooked foods.
• thorough cooking and proper handling of
meat products
• Good hygiene and sanitation are important to
avoid cross contamination between raw or
undercooked foods and cooked or ready to eat
foods in the kitchen.
• As an added precaution, if you have suspected
symptoms of respiratory illness you should
avoid preparing food for other people and
seek medical attention.
“After all,how often do we get a
second chance?”
