This video, by Deb Ford DCN RDN, offers advice on how to protect yourself from viruses, especially the coronavirus. She explains that washing your hands with soap and water for 20 seconds is very effective because it disrupts the virus's outer layer. The video also suggests natural cleaning alternatives like tea tree oil, rubbing alcohol, and hydrogen peroxide, while also recommending supplements such as multivitamins, golden seal, oregano, elderberry, astragalus, propolis, and mushrooms to boost your immune system.

Key Takeaways

1

Washing your hands for 20 seconds with friction is very effective at killing viruses like the coronavirus by disrupting its outer membrane.

2

If you use a cloth towel for drying hands, do not let others reuse it to prevent spreading viruses.

3

Tea tree oil can be used for hand washing due to its antibacterial properties.

4

Rubbing alcohol (at least 70%) is a great hand sanitizer, and you can make your own by mixing it with vegetable glycerin or aloe vera and essential oils.

5

Hydrogen peroxide is a good, non-corrosive surface cleaner that breaks down into oxygen and water, though it takes a bit longer to kill viruses.

6

Always wash your hands frequently and avoid touching your face, especially your nose, mouth, and eyes, to prevent infection.

7

Taking a good quality multivitamin is essential to boost your immune system, as it's hard to get all necessary nutrients from food alone.

8

Supplements like golden seal, oregano, elderberry, astragalus, propolis, and medicinal mushrooms can help support and boost your immune system.

9

A strong immune system, supported by good nutrition, vegetables, fruit, and a multivitamin, is the best defense against illnesses.
