COVID-19 has bought unprecedent time here in Long Island and throughout the world. We have introduced with our so-called new normal limiting the exposure to other people around the community. So far scientists have not been able to find a cure for the coronavirus, so it is really important for us to take care of ourselves. Social distancing, use of masks are some of the common ideas that everyone does but let’s talk about few extraordinary ways to improve immunity against the coronavirus.
Number of cases on Long Island are continuing to spike. According to NBC NEWS, there are more than 30,000 coronavirus cases here in Long Island. Things can get even worse if we are not too careful. You need to be careful about what you eat, what you drink, whom you interact with and much more.
As we do not have any proper cure for coronavirus yet, it’s better to rely on expert’s advice to prevent it. In these uncertain times we should look for each other and community. We should maintain good hygiene, hand washing, social distancing, avoid touching eyes, nose and mouth frequently. Eyes nose and mouth are the common point of entry for any respiratory virus like coronavirus. We also need to be careful about where and what we eat, drink.
Although there’s no evidence of the coronavirus being transferred from drinking water but WHO recommends drinking safe water, protect the source of water and store it safely in home. “Convectional, centralized water treatment methods that use filtration and disinfection should inactivate COVID-19 virus” –WHO. Water help to improve immunity, carry oxygen to our body cells, which results in efficient functioning of system. It also helps in removing toxins from body, so drinking pure water could help prevent toxin build up in your body which can cause devastating effects in your body.
People with compromised immune system are at great risk of getting diseases like the coronavirus. Regardless your age, having compromised immune system makes you more likely to get diseases. You should consider maintaining good hygiene, practice social distancing and be careful about what you eat and drink.
Do drinking water improve immunity?
Water, a basic necessity for life, has a severe impact on our health. Properly filtered and treated water can improve immunity while impure water can cause life threating diseases and weakens immune system. Water aids all organ systems in your body including digestion, immune, respiratory, reproductive to name a few. If you drink impure water, you will risk your health and most importantly immune system.
Toxic PFOS and PFOA is already found in drinking water in Long Island Water System, which serve estimated 19 million people. PFOS causes immunotoxicity in your body which has a direct link to Breast Cancer. This can also cause autoimmune diseases in which your healthy tissue is attacked by immune system that fails to differentiate self-antigens from foreign antigens. It can also interfere with vaccinations causing disabilities and adverse effect in health.
As toxins builds up in our body, it weakens our immune system and leaves us susceptible to diseases like COVID-19. One of the main causes of immunotoxicity is due to chemicals which are most commonly found on impure drinking water. Toxic chemicals like PFOS, PFOA has other severe health effects like low birth weight, cancer, early puberty, skeletal variations and much more.
Moreover, they weaken our immune system and remove its ability to fight against the new diseases like COVID-19. PFOS and PFOA can be measured in blood in any doctor’s office or laboratory. There are cancer centers and blood specialists in every town on Long Island. But how about we move a step forward to improve immunity and filter our water before we use it.
Long Island water supply relies in water underground which is then purified before supplying to people in community. Several reports like this claims: Long Island has most contaminated drinking water in New York. New York Public Interest Research Group’s analysis also claims the same. Our water supply does not have any purification or filtration systems on our well heads. The water is pumped out of the ground and chlorinated and pumped to our homes. At this point it is up to the home owner to add extra purification or filtration systems methods.
Long Islander let’s not forget about chlorides in our water from saltwater intrusion. USGS has put out bulletin that Long Islands water contains chemicals and sulfates along with chloride, lead. All these chemicals come with different effects on your health but the common one is weakening your immune system. Once the water is polluted, it doesn’t take time to cross contaminate with food as they are much more correlated.
