Possible Ways Along with Vaccination to Combat the Delta + Variant of COVID-19

We at Circee Health strive daily to prevent and reverse disease both chronic and, in more recent times, acute infectious disease. With the COVID-19 pandemic gripping the country in its second wave and threatening a third wave with newly discovered variants, this prevention aspect has taken a new, more urgent meaning.

Of course, the simplest first step in preventing COVID-19 is to get your vaccination ASAP. Not only will you protect yourself, but you will protect others around you, especially those who may not be able to be vaccinated (children, those with certain medical conditions). I urge you to make this extremely important and socially responsible decision, as multiple scientific studies have supported the efficacy and safety of these vaccinations. For, without universal vaccination, the goal of herd immunity becomes a distant dream.

Now that we’ve cleared the air regarding vaccination, let’s talk about some simple changes that have been proven by medical researchers to prevent infectious diseases. In fact, the most exciting study that we’ve come across was in the British Medical Journal (BMJ). This study looked at over 3000 front-line medical workers and concluded that those who followed a plant-based diet (no meat, no dairy, no eggs) had an over 70% lesser chance of serious illness related to COVID-19. The best part-- no special pills or exercises required!
