Virus Protection Through Nutrition
There are two ways of countering viral infections. One is through vaccination, the other is by increasing the organism’s resistance through adequate nutrition.
First of all, we know that the organism has a defence against viral infections in the form of the cells that belong to the immune system (macrophages, natural killer cells), which destroy viruses by ingesting and digesting them. Furthermore, other immune system cells (B lymphocytes) make antibodies against viruses to prevent contact with the cells that lead to infection. Various nutrients are necessary to ensure that the immune system’s cells function properly.
Secondly, a major problem with immune system activation is overreaction. It can send too many defence cells and molecules to the infection sites, causing tissue destruction and massive inflammation. It is often the case when dealing with the lungs during a severe influenza infection.
The intensity of the inflammatory reaction can vary, creating variable situations that make us uncomfortable and can even cause death depending on the way in which our organism reacts. As such, it is important to diminish severe inflammatory reactions. This is especially important because reducing inflammation reduces the tissue damage caused by infections.
Whole Krill to the Rescue!
Inflammatory responses can be minimised through the use of natural substances supplied through proper nutrition, minerals, and trace elements. Krilex’s whole krill is a complete food that provides proteins, all essential and non-essential amino acids, digestive enzymes, powerful antioxidants, Omega-3 fatty acids, phospholipids, fibre, vitamins, minerals, and trace elements that help to balance out the immune system and reduce inflammation. Ingesting Krilex’s whole krill with food rich in vitamin C is a simple and easy way of sustaining or promoting good health and to help in the fight against colds and influenza.
Consequently, Krilex helps you increase your overall resistance and minimise the damage caused by viral infections.
