The concept of “Nitrate Nutritional Fitness” is using nitrate-rich foods and supplements that protect against acute respiratory viral infection and support cardiovascular, neurological, and metabolic function.
After several hours with nothing to eat or drink, saliva is the principal defense against millions of microbes inhaled with each breath. Weak alkaline saliva prevents coronavirus, 1 influenza 2 virus and adenovirus particles from infecting cells. Innate immunity protects cells against common cold viruses 3 hijacking cellular metabolism.
Oral nitrates are substances which appear in our food. They occur naturally in leafy green vegetables like raw spinach, beets, celery and lettuce. Fruits and vegetables containing nitrates provide protection to health.
Micro-organisms are everywhere around us and within us. Small in size, located both inside and outside natural human cells. Acquired shortly after birth, they aid digestion and metabolism, provide protection from pathogenic organisms and inhibit viral infection.
Virus particles in the air coming into the mouth, nose, and throat are folded into envelopes that protect them. Envelopes have spikes that attach to salivary gland receptors on epithelial cells.
Salivary Nitrate Protein reduction to Nitrite protects the oral acid-base buffer system. Natural oral cell protection works best at neutral balance. But gradually fails as saliva becomes more acidic.
Exercise reduces the risk of COVID infection. Works especially by restoring acid-base balance. That inhibits virus infection.
Coronavirus-2 causes serious illness and it’s not going away anytime soon.So far, about 10% of adults in the US have been sick from COVID-19. Another 5% had infection but no symptoms.
Healthcare is always our biggest expense! Job losses during COVID-19 threaten Employer-sponsored health insurance. Which is about 34% of healthcare expenses.
