Literally, when no one cares a damn for the deadly Covid, there is talk of a fourth wave looming large over mankind with a mutated pathogen which has a boring insignificant reference number. The undeniable fact is that the virus has lost all its strength due to absolute herd community attained across the globe. The epidemic had graduated to a pandemic primarily because the WHO and other healthcare think tanks created panic and spread it methodically. Local governments without much grey stuff in the head carried it further. The respiratory virus was demonised and the healthcare gurus never confessed to the fact of only groping in the dark owing to their unforgivable ignorance. Big Brother America headed by megalomaniac Donald Trump intimidated the rest of the world to rob all kinds of new and old medicines of possible cure including proven malaria drugs. That panic brings down immunity by nearly 80% was never revealed. The virus was doubtlessly a difficult one owing to its hyper virulence and lightning transmission. But confused medicos and scientists never looked deep to study the behavioural pattern of the RNA virus. They kept experimenting with this and that. The most frightening symptom was the fall in oxygen saturation count. And therefore, super brains focused wholly on raising the oxygen saturation rather than looking for the root cause. Eventually, symptom-based interventions only saved lives. Steroids, physical postures and oxygen saturation facilitators like ‘Remdesevir’ were extensively used. This so-called wonder drug did raise oxygen levels though only temporarily; but for sure, it damaged vital organs and pushed even robust young people to death. It was also discovered that particular blood groups did have components to ward off the virus easily. They have confirmed that the universal donor ‘O’ group humans suffered the least and died in very insignificant numbers.
When the first wave was over, people thought it was gone forever only because experts did not sound the alarm rightly. Vaccines were not exactly out by then. And when they were made available, people showed great resistance to the jabs fearing it could kill them in other ways. By now, it is proven that the beat vaccine was made by India. Big global players including Pfizer and Moderna have proved by now to have been horribly poor in giving an effective vaccine.
Interestingly, most developed Western countries have rightly reported medical issues that came up due to their mRNA vaccines that were less than half as effective as the Indian Covaxin. Remdesivir (GS-5734) was developed by Gilead Sciences and emerged from a collaboration between Gilead, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the US Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases. More significantly, the poorer communities had hardly contracted the virus. They ate less nutritious food, lived in unhygienic conditions, never wore mask, merrily defied the social distance norms and never reported fever or any symptoms if ever they had any; yet, they never succumbed to the virus.
Today for sure, it’s past-corona times. One can talk about some core truths about how needs to live to keep deadly viruses warded off: Food is the foremost drug against most diseases. Many nutrients in brown rice help keep your heart healthy which in turn supports the lungs. It's a rich source of dietary fibre, which can reduce your risk of death from any heart-lung disease. Brown rice contains high levels of magnesium, which help one less vulnerable to diseases. It also reduces belly fat. Brown rice and whole-grain wheat have similar nutritional values, except for folate. Both grains are a good source of energy-providing thiamine, niacin and riboflavin. Both have a small amount of vitamin E. But whole-grain wheat is a better source of folate. But then, availing brown rice is easier than whole grain wheat because in flour form, it is difficult to know if the chaff is ground with the grain. Whole grain chapattis are higher in sodium and potassium contents. Rice doesn't contain any sodium though some species do have very little potassium. For people on sodium and potassium-restricted diets, rice could be a better choice than chapatti. Rice is easy to digest.
The best grains are millets which are cheap to procure because of low market demand. Eating millets regularly will also encourage farmers in dry land areas. Fish is yet another important part of the food chain that is one of the healthiest forms of animal protein. Rich in fats, vitamins and minerals, fish is known to be healthy for the heart and can ward off a number of lifestyle ailments if consumed regularly in moderation. Naturally grown in oceans and rivers, all fish are health-boosting. Oily inexpensive sea fish like sardines and mackerel or, for that matter, Hilsa are simply great in boosting health. The river carp called ‘Rohu’ too is rich in fatty Omega3 acids that keep arteries clean and mood great. Hilsa, though with tiny bones to frighten many, has best of nutrients for good health. Caution and care be taken while being fooled by vendors dealing in live fish swimming in vessels! Most of these are farmed and fed with garbage to not provide health-enriching substances.
Broiler chickens should be a taboo right away as they have very poor health and immunity standards owing to the conditions they are bred in. Profit-seeking poultry farmers load them up with antibiotics. This has given rise to antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria all over the globe. The country chicken is just the opposite. It provides healthy nutrients that boost immunity.
Similarly, as told and advised severally, fruits and vegetables that grow around in native geography are medicine that would not fail. Exotic fruits and greens are nice to see, maybe nicer to eat; but they do not improve immunity levels in any animal including humans.
Last but not the least, junk food and aerated drinks be banned from homes particularly if kids are growing. These are poison coated with make-believe healthy additives. Young people will witness greying hair at 25 and become vulnerable to cardiovascular ailments by the 30th year of life.
One must not ignore sweating out and being content with whatever one has. Immunity then remains at peak for always.
