Supplements That May Be Helpful to Prevent Respiratory Infectious Diseases like Covid19

There is multiply ways to prevent and protect ones self against Covid19.  Our current state of protection requires us to  lockdown, put on personal protective equipment and vaccinate. However this won’t be enough to prevent and protect us against deadly viruses and future pandemics. Living a healthy lifestyle is really the only solution to prevent disease. How we re-act when illness is present, is another approach. It still doesn’t take away the importance of a healthy mindset and  proper nutrition is to maintain optimal function. When we lack sufficient nutrients we dramatically lower our bodies power to fight and protect us from any forms of invaders and to repair and build any cell damage, we become more susceptible to invaders colonizing and cellular degeneration. Obviously diet alone does not provide us with the nutrients we need to optimally function. Which makes daily supplementation essential when we are in pursuit of preventing disease.
