There are fewer and fewer pedestrians and vehicles in the morning and evening rush hours (the subway is no longer crowded)...
There are fewer and fewer colleagues in the office (even a little empty)...
In the circle of friends, there are fancy competitions about virus strain types and infection symptoms every day. Some people are buying "high-quality strains" at high prices...
Have you ever reflected on why you, who are still sitting at your work station, are still a "chosen worker".
"Stay close to the sun", is there any secret to advancing to the finals?
In addition to the mysterious forwarding of "yang enemies", we carefully searched the existing scientific research literature and found that so far has two "naturally selected workers BUFF" , which can help you resist the new crown , be a happy "little yin man", and advance to the new crown finals.
Rhinitis Fight against the new coronavirus
Friends who have been troubled by rhinitis, the painful feeling of "cement nose" must be impressive.
But now that the new crown is raging, you can be proud! Because the rhinitis you suffer from can help you reduce the risk of COVID-19!
This is a paper published in the top medical journal "The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology: In Practice". Researchers used UK-Biobank (British Biobank) related data to collect statistics on the situation of COVID-19 patients from March to December 2020.
The statistics are as follows:
A total of 70,557 participants were tested for the new coronavirus antigen, of which 15,000 were positive in at least one test, that is, they were infected with the new coronavirus. Among them, 4,915 patients were hospitalized due to COVID-19 infection, and 636 patients died from COVID-19.
The authors divided all participants into 4 groups: allergic rhinitis only group (n=3201) , asthma only group (n=8624) , allergic rhinitis combined with asthma group (n=1407) and control group (neither allergic rhinitis nor asthma , n=57325) .
directly concluded. In the comparison, the researchers found that:
, Patients with allergic rhinitis can play a protective role against new coronavirus infection. The risk of infection is reduced by 25% compared with the normal population ;
In other words, rhinitis can reduce the risk of COVID-19. Rhinitis + asthma is somewhat useful but not much, and asthma is useless.
Why can rhinitis have a protective effect on the new coronavirus? In several papers we retrieved, it was pointed out that allergic reactions reduce the expression of ACE2 protein (SARS-CoV-2, which is the specific protein attached to the virus that causes new coronavirus infection) in the airways, thus protecting rhinitis patients and reducing the chance of new coronavirus infection.
Therefore, friends who suffer from rhinitis, the sins they suffered in the past have not been in vain. Now they have become a protective shield against the new crown virus, allowing you to stand out in the competition of the new crown virus. (Of course, we should also remind some friends: it is too late to get rhinitis now!)
Coffee can resist the new coronavirus
Coffee can be said to be a working tool for social animals.
It is not only refreshing and refreshing, in recent years of medical research, coffee has been found to have a series of miraculous effects such as controlling obesity, reducing the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and reducing the risk of cancer.
This time, researchers have discovered that coffee can also protect against the new coronavirus! Migrant workers, during this wave of epidemic, the habit of relying on coffee to survive cannot be abandoned.
Last year, researchers from Northwestern University in the United States published a study in the medical journal "Nutrients". They also analyzed the relationship between coffee drinking and new coronavirus infection by collecting data from nearly 40,000 participants in the UK-Biobank (British Biological Database) .
The results of the study are very interesting: Compared with people who have no coffee habit (1 cup/day), people who drink more than 1 cup of coffee a day have a reduced risk of contracting the new coronavirus by about 10%.
Through the literature we retrieved, researchers believe that the substance that plays a key role in coffee is chlorogenic acid . This ingredient can effectively inhibit the interaction between the spike protein of the new coronavirus (S protein) and the ACE-2 receptor on human cells, thereby preventing new coronavirus infection.
More importantly, researchers found that a 200ml cup of hand-brewed coffee contains about 100mg of chlorogenic acid, which can reduce the binding constant between the new coronavirus S protein and the ACE-2 receptor by 10 times!
So coffee protects workers and is an excellent CP combination for the COVID-19 finals. Why don’t you start drinking it?
In fact, whether it is coffee or rhinitis, the root cause is the ACE-2 receptor in our human cells. The ACE-2 receptor reduces the expression and interacts with the spike protein (S protein) that inhibits the new coronavirus to protect us from the new coronavirus infection.
Of course, the above two "BUFFs" only protect you to reduce the risk of COVID-19 infection to a certain extent. They are not absolutely immune to virus infection. Even if you add two BUFFs, you cannot "run naked" when the COVID-19 is around you. Taking good protection is the best way to deal with the new coronavirus.
Finally, I hope that the two BUFF-enhanced workers can finally "have good luck and eat chicken tonight" in the finals of the new coronavirus.
