There are a number of things you can do to support your body in the face of COVID-19. Making sure you have a balanced diet, are getting enough sleep and daily exercise are the fundamentals we all need to keep our bodies healthy and strong. That should be the first thing we all focus on, as in the face of daily demands and stresses it is all too easy to forget the basics.

In addition to this the World Naturopathic Federation have some really interesting information on supplements that may help support you and your immune system in the face of the current COVID-19 pandemic. In particular they mention Vitamin D, Zinc, Quercitine and NAC as supplements you may want to consider taking. For further information please visit the COVID-19 Resources page on the World Naturopathic Federation Website.

Of course, being an Osteopath I could not go without saying that Osteopathic Treatment can have a beneficial effect on the immune system, by having a normalising effect on our adrenals. In other words, by supporting the body when it is wound up a little too tightly, Osteopathic Treatment can also give our immune system a boost.
