Folk remedies are loved, and recently, a new study of the coronavirus has emerged. In the study, turmeric and mustard may become "anti-epidemic prescriptions". The emergence of this result has given people an additional method of epidemic prevention for daily prevention of the new crown virus. Next, let's take a closer look at the study.
This is a study conducted by the Polytechnic University of Valencia, where researchers have extracted ingredients from various plants. Thus looking for ingredients in various plants, whether there is a certain inhibitory effect on the new crown virus. Researchers have found that the extracts in turmeric and mustard can inhibit the reproductive ability of the new crown virus to a certain extent, making it grow slower.
How does the coronavirus multiply?
During the process of reproduction, a protease exists in the body of the new crown virus. The presence of this protease can encode its own genes, so that new coronaviruses are constantly being generated. After the researchers learned how the new crown virus reproduces, they tried to suppress the reproduction of the virus from this aspect. Trying to find an ingredient that can inhibit the activity of proteases and control the growth rate of the virus.
Therefore, from turmeric and mustard, this inhibitor was found. It can effectively inhibit the activity of proteases in the new crown virus and contain it from the source.
Turmeric and mustard, is it really that magical?
Although the current research results show that the ingredients in these two foods can play a certain role in inhibiting the reproduction of the virus. But it can only play a certain auxiliary effect. If infected with the new crown virus, taking turmeric and mustard may be able to control and stabilize the patient's condition, but it is impossible to eliminate the virus or cure the disease in this way. Therefore, this anti-epidemic prescription is not so magical.
Recently, the Wuhan Institute of Biological Engineering also conducted research on the new crown virus. The results of the study show that curcumin can destroy the virus before it infects normal cells in the body. As a result, the virus is inactivated. After the metabolism of normal cells in the body is changed, it is also possible to avoid the virus from affecting normal cells. In addition to inhibiting the new crown virus to a certain extent, curcumin can also inhibit a variety of viruses, such as hepatitis B virus. The intake of this ingredient can also play a certain anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor effect, improve the body's immunity, play a role in sterilization and anti-inflammatory, and prevent tumor diseases.
In addition to suppressing the new crown virus, turmeric and mustard also have the following effects:
The intake of turmeric and mustard can supplement a variety of nutrients in the human body, such as minerals, calcium, fiber, vitamins and so on. Therefore, after taking it, the human body quality can be improved.
Turmeric can be anti-inflammatory and bactericidal, improve skin health:
The ingredients have an anti-inflammatory effect, so if turmeric is used, it can effectively improve skin diseases such as eczema, acne, etc. Improve the skin surface redness, swelling, heat and pain and other symptoms. It can also promote the elimination of germs in the gastrointestinal tract and maintain the stability of the gastrointestinal flora. Turmeric's efficacy is relatively strong, common in China, India and other countries, and can be used as an over-the-counter anti-inflammatory drug. It is conceivable that the effect is also ideal. And it basically does not cause toxic side effects to the body, and the possibility of causing allergies after use is relatively low.
Turmeric relieves pain and treats joint diseases:
Diseases such as gout and arthritis can cause pain in the patient's joints and may also produce symptoms such as joint swelling. In this case, if turmeric is used, it can effectively improve the pain in the joint area and play a role in reducing swelling. When discomfort in the joint area improves, the range of motion of the joint also increases. In addition, the use of turmeric can also play a role in maintaining the health of the cardiovascular system. Prevention of suffering from three highs. Keep the blood pressure value equal to the stability.
In the face of the fight against the epidemic, in addition to various "anti-epidemic prescriptions", what can be done?
The main way to fight the epidemic is to inject the new crown vaccine.
Presumably, everyone has heard of this method, and those who should be vaccinated should also be injected. But you should know that the COVID-19 vaccine can not last long, only about half a year to a year or so. The current epidemic situation is still relatively severe, so the first batch of people to be vaccinated may need supplementary injections after the vaccine effect is reduced to maintain the effect of the new crown vaccine. Once the vaccine's protection against the body decreases, the odds of infection rise. The preventive effect of vaccination is far superior to these "anti-epidemic prescriptions".
Although the study of the Valencia Polytechnic University is a milestone for the prevention and control of the new crown virus. However, this method cannot be used as the main force for epidemic prevention and control. This prescription is not so magical. If you want to avoid the infection of the new crown virus, the main way to prevent and control is to inject the new crown vaccine.
