Can vitamin C of Baobab pulp Tablet be a nutritional adjuvant to COVID 19 tre...Open Access Research Paper
油
The relation between immunity and nutrition is high for well-being and against infections. In order to combat the coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) viral pandemic, increased attention must also be paid to this relationship. However, the nutritional status of patients with COVID-19 is affected. The immunopathological changes in COVID-19 patients have affected their nutritional status and induced chronic damage in their organism. In this review, we highlight the nutritional treatment of COVID 19 with vitamin C therapy based on Baobab pulp tablets. Research has shown that high doses of 6 to 8g/day of vitamin C have been used for the treatment of several viral respiratory diseases such as COVID 19. We suggest that this pharmacological dose of vitamin C per day to enhance immunity and improve the nutritional status of COVID 19 patients. According to the nutritional profile of Baobab pulp Tablet, one hundred (100)g of this Tablet contains 428mg of vitamin C. Therefore, more than 14 Tablet of Baobab pulp can be used for moderate treatment of COVID 19. Thus, in this study, it is suggested that vitamin C therapy based on Baobab pulp tablet be used as an adjuvant to nutritional treatment of COVID 19. Clinical studies are required to confirm this hypothesis.
Genetically modified foods are created through recombinant DNA technology, transferring genetic material between species to produce desired traits like pest or virus resistance. Nutritionally improved GM crops also aim to address nutrient deficiencies. Nutraceuticals are foods with medicinal properties, including terpenes, phytosterols, phenols, and theols found in plants that may prevent diseases. Organic foods are grown without artificial pesticides or fertilizers. Functional foods provide health benefits beyond basic nutrition, such as antioxidants that protect against diseases. Probiotics are live microorganisms that benefit gut health, while prebiotics feed probiotic bacteria. Certain lactic acid bacteria used in food fermentation also promote health.
Genetically modified foods are created through recombinant DNA technology, transferring genetic material between species to produce desired traits like pest or virus resistance. Nutritionally improved GM crops also aim to address nutrient deficiencies. Nutraceuticals are foods with health benefits derived from components like terpenes, phytosterols, phenols, and theols found in plants. Organic foods are produced without artificial fertilizers or pesticides, instead using natural methods. Functional foods provide health benefits beyond basic nutrition from antioxidants and other compounds that may protect against diseases. Probiotics are live microorganisms that benefit health by balancing intestinal microbiota while prebiotics feed probiotic bacteria.
Citrus fruits are excellent sources of vitamin C that can strengthen the immune system. They contain nutrients and phytochemicals that boost immunity through various processes. During the COVID-19 pandemic, consuming citrus fruits can help boost immunity against viruses. Citrus fruits are natural immunity boosters with no side effects, unlike some marketed immunity boosting products. Their vitamin C, antioxidants, and bioactive compounds support immune function and control inflammation, with some compounds possibly having direct antiviral effects against SARS-CoV-2.
This healthy living guide from Harvard Public Health provides information on maintaining a healthy lifestyle through diet, exercise, sleep, and stress management. It discusses strategies for healthy eating on a budget, understanding nutrition and immunity, getting adequate sleep, and tips for staying active. The guide aims to support overall wellness during the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond through maintaining a balanced diet, regular exercise, managing stress, and other healthy habits.

Are Vitamin D Levels Associated with COVID 19 Prevalence and Outcomesijtsrd
油
Since December 2019, coronavirus infection disease 2019 COVID 19 due to a new coronavirus, severe acute respiratory syndrome type 2 SARS CoV2 infection, occurred mainly in Wuhan City, Hubei Province, China, and spread worldwide throughout a short period of time. The COVID 19 pandemic is shaking the world. To date, the route of infection, treatment methods, and the process since infection have not been clarified. Therefore, various researches and studies are being carried out at a rapid pace in research institutions around the world to clarify the novel coronavirus. Vitamin D helps to balance calcium and helps maintain bone health. Vitamin D is considered to be physiologically effective for enhancing immunity, cancer, diabetes, autism, and making the body easy to conceive. Recent studies have reported an association between the amount of vitamin D in the body and the severity of COVID 19. In this review, we provide a compact, comprehensive description of the relationship between vitamin D and COVID 19.

The document reviews functional foods and their role in human health. It discusses how foods like fruits, vegetables, grains, fish, and meat contain components beyond basic nutrients that can improve health and reduce disease risk. These functional components provide antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, fibers, and other phytochemicals that research has shown can help prevent chronic diseases and support overall well-being.
The word Fast food which is also called junk food has been primarily resonating in a diet from last decade. The most common ingredients used for making fast foods are maida, corn flour, saturated fats, preserved raw materials, milk products and preservatives which are harmful to maintain a better health. Diet is a route cause of all diseases. Occasional intake of fast food doesnt cause any diseases. Frequent intake of fast food in a diet has negative impact on health. Though the fast food is tasty, it significantly affects almost all systems of our body like a slow poison which assist in the manifestion of diseases. Pizza, burger, sandwich and bakery products are most often choosen by population. This article is published in order to create awareness among the public to restrict the frequent use of poor nutritious as well as substandard food in routine life for better health.

Its cheaper to clean up a mess than to avoid a mess. This mantra, coined by Alan Greenspan explaining why financial bubbles happen, stands very much at the core of how we as a society typically seem to deal with health: rather than nudging and rewarding people to conduct a healthier life and increase their immunity, the primary focus of efforts and resources is often on treating sickness.
How can this change? What role do health data, nutrition and immunity play in this? And what difference would it make? Find out at our next DayOne Experts Event, co-hosted by DSM Nutritional Products.
There are a couple of reasons why it is not an easy thing to successfully implement preventive measures. First of all, behavioral change is hard to accomplish. Secondly, in most cases it is challenging to show the scientific evidence that a certain measure works and is worth the effort. One key focus area is the importance of an optimal nutrient intake to support our health with a focus on immunity and beyond. Last but not least, we need to consider a business and policy model that makes prevention less of a moral burden but a worthwhile experience that we are willing to apply in a smart way.
These are the big questions we will address at the DayOne Experts Event:
Will the rise of digital and data availability change the landscape and if so to what extent?
What can we learn from the current pandemic?
Does nutrition play a role in supporting your immunity?
Which data should we take into consideration to shape the future?

This document discusses the role of food biotechnology in health maintenance. It explains that food biotechnology uses genetic modification to create foods with desired traits. This can help overcome hunger by increasing crop yields and nutritional value, such as golden rice which contains beta-carotene to prevent vitamin A deficiencies. It also discusses how edible vaccines produced in foods through biotechnology can help prevent diseases by inducing antibody responses when consumed. The document outlines other benefits of genetically modified foods like their ability to help prevent diseases, support a healthy environment, and proposes future health applications of biotechnology in foods.
This document discusses important vitamins and minerals that can help support the immune system during the COVID-19 pandemic. It recommends supplements of vitamins C, D, and zinc as well as selenium. Vitamin C supports white blood cells, vitamin D may reduce respiratory infection risk, zinc inhibits virus replication, and selenium boosts immunity. It also mentions garlic, licorice root, and curcumin as potential immune boosters through their anti-inflammatory and antiviral properties.

This document discusses food safety as a global issue. Key points include:
- Unsafe food affects over 600 million people annually, resulting in 420,000 deaths including 125,000 children under 5. Foodborne diseases strain healthcare systems and economies.
- Food safety is challenged by new pathogens, chemical and antibiotic hazards in food, and the globalization of food trade. Monitoring and coordination between countries is important to prevent widespread outbreaks.
- International organizations like WHO, CDC, FAO work to strengthen food safety systems, surveillance, outbreak response and policies to improve food safety globally.
This document reviews the rationale for vitamin D food fortification. It finds that vitamin D deficiency is common worldwide due to low dietary intake and sun exposure. While guidelines recommend vitamin D intakes of 10-20 亮g per day, most populations fail to meet this. Food fortification is an effective way to improve vitamin D status at a population level. The document outlines vitamin D metabolism, effects, guidelines on status and intake, and the gap between guidelines and actual intake. It reviews the safety of vitamin D and examples of food fortification programs. The conclusion is that food fortification could help close the gap and improve public health in a cost-effective way.
Epidemiological research have found that diets high in antioxidants from fruits, vegetables, nuts and whole grains are associated with lower risks of heart disease, cancer and other illnesses. However, taking synthetic multivitamin and antioxidant supplements has not shown these protective effects and may actually increase risks. A recent study of over 38,000 older women found that supplements like multivitamins, vitamins B6 and folic acid, and minerals iron, magnesium, zinc and copper were linked to higher mortality rates compared to non-users. Other reviews have also linked antioxidant supplements to increased risks of death and some cancers. The precise mechanisms are still unclear, but supplements may disrupt the body's natural defense mechanisms against diseases.
Antiviral and Immuno Modulating Role of Super Food Spirulina and Covid 19ijtsrd

Over the centuries, infectious diseases caused by viruses have seriously threatened human health globally. Currently, COVID 19 the causative pathogen of Coronavirus Disease, has rapidly spread across China and around the world, causing an outbreak of acute infectious pneumonia. So far no specific anti virus drugs or vaccines are available for the treatment of this sudden and lethal disease, there is an urgent need to find an alternative solution to prevent and control the replication and spread of the virus. Spirulina is a microscopic edible blue green vegetable algae and it is consider as one of the richest source of protein, all amino acids, organic vitamins and Bio chelated minerals required for human body. Besides nutrition, it is loaded with unique phytonutrients like antioxidant phycocyanin, polysaccharides and sulfolipids that prevent inflammation enhance the immune system, possibly reducing risks of infection and cancer. It is indicated as a safe food supplement, and the World Health Organization has supported it as a health nutrient. Here we have summarized the available information concerning the immune boosting and antiviral activity of spirulina based on clinical trial using PubMed and Web of Science. The results of the searching greatly support that Spirulina presents both immune boosting and antiviral effects. Calcium Spirulan Ca SP a natural sulfated polysaccharide and Cyanovirin N CV N Carbohydrate binding agent CBAs isolated from spirulina are potent antiviral agents. Many clinical and Pre clinical research reported that both exhibited antiviral activity of against many viruses such as hepatitis, HIV, influenza, herpes virus Herpes simplex virus type 1, human cytomegalovirus, measles virus and mumps virus. Based on this review, spirulina could be considered as therapeutics antiviral agent for coronavirus. Dr. Kr. Nagulendran | Dr. N.
