Why exercise is important in the fight against the coronavirus
According to a new article, which will be published in the May issue of the journal Redox Biology, regular exercise can help prevent or reduce the severity of acute respiratory failure (ARDS) in those suffering from coronavirus infection. According to the authors of the article (Zhen Yan and Hannah R. Spaulding from the Hospital at the University of Virginia, University of Virginia Health System), a one-time exercise session increases the production of a critical antioxidant called extracellular superoxide dismutase, or EcSOD, helping to reduce the effects of COVID-19.
9 herbs China uses in the fight coronavirus (COVID-19)
As we have stated earlier, 85% of those infected with the new SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus and infected with COVID-19 in China received not only conventional treatment, but also therapy with herbs from Chinese traditional medicine. In this article, we will look separately at each of the herbs that have been used and what the science of them has to tell us. It's a pandemic, and hope lurks everywhere. :)
Traditional Chinese medicine and the treatment of COVID-19

Why a pandemic like COVID-19 won't be the last
Although epidemics have occurred throughout human history, at the moment they seem to be gaining strength. In the last 20 years alone, coronaviruses have caused three major outbreaks worldwide. Even more worryingly, the interval between these three pandemics is small. Suresh V Kuchipudi is a virologist and assistant director of the Animal Diagnostics Laboratory at Penn State University, which studies zoonotic viruses. Zoonotic disease is what can be transmitted from pets to humans. He observed that most of the pandemics have something in common, namely that they always start in Asia or Africa, and we do not realize the reasons that provoke them. With this material we will consider the analysis of the virologist.
