Margherita Enrico, 'we must prepare to face other viruses'

ROME - The Covid-19 pandemic has overwhelmed many of our certainties.
Margherita Enrico in her interesting book explains to us that the dramatic collective experience of these months can teach us a lot: first of all, not to forget that prevention is better than cure.
The pandemic in progress must teach us that any virus is never announced and must not find us unprepared.
There are a set of strategies to fight and win the battle when viruses attack. Internal strategies linked to our natural defences but also external ones that affect our lifestyle and our behaviours.
A bit like when facing a harsh winter: if you take the necessary precautions, the chances of safeguarding our health increase and protect us from unfortunate complications.
Margherita Enrico suggests that right now, we must prepare and protect ourselves with a powerful armour because it is not excluded that in the future we will have to deal with this and other unknown and potentially more dangerous viruses.
Vaccination, according to her, is very important to protect ourselves from a still unknown danger.
Since vaccines were introduced in Italy and the UK, the pandemic has started to diminish and the mass vaccination has avoided another wave, as well as benefiting whole communities through "herd immunity".
Through this guide, released in 2020, Margherita Enrico introduces us also to a set of strategies in the form of simple and concrete advice to strengthen our body and make it immune from possible future attacks.
Will Covid-19 be defeated, will everything return to normal?
Science - Enrico tells Italian Insider - does not lie: people who follow a correct diet and a healthy lifestyle have a stronger immune system and are less affected by viral infections.
But we must always be on our guard, but luckily we have a powerful natural arsenal at our disposal: a diet rich in micronutrients such as vitamins A, B3, C and D or selenium and zinc, then exercise, regular sleep, keeping away from sources of pollution (including electromagnetic), meditation, proper stress management and many other good habits. Finally, for some years against viruses and bacteria we have been able to resort to natural supplements with surprising antioxidant properties and capable of stimulating the immune system.
Margherita Enrico is a journalist, television author and writer. She collaborates with Il Giornale and has worked for La Repubblica, Rai and several weeklies. She is the author of successful books on hormonal diet and ‘The Hormones of Happiness' (with Thierry Hertoghe), ‘A Miracle in My Life’, ‘The Science of Youth’, ’The Secrets of Longevity’ and more.
Finally, she has collaborated with international scholars and researchers such as Professor Luc Montagnier, the Nobel Prize winning virologist, and participated in the drafting of many important scientific texts.
