As we're all waiting for our turn to be vaccinated against the virus, the best thing we can do to fight against the pandemic is to strengthen our bodies and immune systems. Sitting in the same spot all day without moving around and staring at our screens doesn't help at all. To keep your body top notch, you need the right amount of vitamins, all the way from A through E. Although most occur naturally, you can also get them through supplements. Here are why you should get these vitamins and where to get them from:
#Vitamin A
Vitamin A is said to be the first line of defense for our bodies. It reduces the risk of being infected, is essential for normal vision, and can prevent dry skin. This is especially needed if you stare at a screen all day in an air-conditioned room. Natural sources of it include eggs, milk, and carrots.
#Vitamin B
Vitamin B is actually a combination of vitamins and nutrients which will help ease symptoms of tired eyes, a stiff neck, and backaches. Of course, the best way to prevent these things are to actually get up from your desk and move around every now and then. A rich natural source of Vitamin B would be meat and fish.
#Vitamin C
Besides improving collagen formation, hasten the healing of wounds, and whitening the skin, Vitamin C gives a general improvement of health and immune system. A healthy dose of Vitamin C can ease exhaustion and inflammation. It can be obtained naturally from fruits and vegetables such as oranges, tomatoes, and potatoes.
#Vitamin D
Vitamin D is also know as the "Sun" vitamin, because literally walking to your car porch or balcony and bathing in sunlight is the most natural way to obtain this vitamin. If you want stronger bones and to prevent rickets and osteoporosis, then you need enough vitamin D in your life, now more than ever as we lock ourselves in our rooms all day.
#Vitamin E
The longer we stay at home, the more we choose sitting over standing, lying over sitting. This will cause muscle stiffness and muscle cramps. To prevent this from happening, sufficient vitamin E is required. Naturally, vitamin E can be obtained from nuts like peanuts and almonds or vegetables like broccoli and spinach.
So, be sure you get these vitamins into your system to keep your body working fine, whether it's through natural means or health products.
