We are all witnessing the coronavirus situation getting more and more intense every day, and it is hard to avoid panic setting in and taking over. In this situation, you might be wondering: how can I keep my family healthy and myself healthy? Is there something I can do to protect myself from getting sick and getting the coronavirus?
There is no magic pill or magic food that is guaranteed to protect you against coronavirus by boosting your immune system, despite the claims by quasi-doctors you may have seen on the Internet. The answer lies in avoiding public places and big crowds of people and strengthening your immune system overall and completely. Making sure that your immune system functions optimally is going to keep you healthy and give you a sense of control in such uncertain times. Here is how you can use nutrition to boost your immune system. Citrus fruits Most people turn to vitamin C after they have caught a cold because they help build up your immune system, but the truth is that we should be eating these fruits all the time, not only when we fall ill. Vitamin C increases the production of white blood cells, and they are the key to fighting infections. Popular citrus fruits include oranges, tangerines, limes, clementine, lemons, grapefruit, etc. and you should eat them whenever you get your hands on them. Red bell peppers The majority of people think that citrus fruits have the most vitamin C of any fruit or vegetable, but that is not the actual truth. The winner is the bell pepper, which contains twice as much vitamin C as citrus. Besides being packed with vitamin C, bell peppers are also a rich source of beta-carotene. Bell peppers are one of the healthiest vegetables for boosting your immune system. Mushrooms Mushrooms are high in B vitamins like niacin and riboflavin, as well as the selenium. These vitamins and minerals are necessary for the immune system to work in tip-top form. Mushrooms are high in polysaccharides, which are sugar-like molecules that boost immune function. Overall, mushrooms are delicious and immunity-boosting. Acai Berry Acai berries are very potent antioxidants, and they are very high in anthocyanins. By collecting the free radicals in the body, acai berries combat oxidative stress, strengthen the body’s immunity and lower the inflammation in the body. If you wanted to find an excuse to enjoy an acai bowl every day, now you have it! Broccoli Broccoli is supercharged with vitamins A, E, and C, as well as many other antioxidants and fiber, which makes it one of the healthiest vegetables you can eat. You should cook broccoli as little as possible (or not at all, if possible) because that is the key to keeping its power intact. Garlic Garlic, as a condiment, is found in almost every cuisine in the world, because it adds a unique flavor to the meals we are making, and it is a must-have for a working immune system. Garlic’s heavy concentration of sulfur-containing compounds (allicin, for example) is creditable for garlic's immune-boosting properties. Almonds Even though we tend to prioritize vitamin C over vitamin E when it comes to fighting off the cold, vitamin E is key to a healthy immune system. Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin, which means that it requires the presence of fat to be adequately absorbed. And nuts, such as almonds, are the perfect source of healthy fats. And they make for a great, healthy snack! Sunflower seeds Sunflower seeds are full of healthy and immune-boosting nutrients, and some of them include phosphorous, magnesium, and vitamin B-6. Sunflower seeds are also incredibly high in vitamin E, which is a powerful antioxidant. Extra tip Even though a healthy diet plays an important part in building the immune system, it is not enough. Making some life changes and habits is going to help your immune system even stronger. Here are some of them:

March 2, 2020 – Mount Vema - Contract to film the entire Vema Seamount summit has been transferred to MONTfisheries, the fishing company of Mount Vema.

As His Mount Vema Majesty’s government plans to join the list of top fish exporting countries as part of a long-term strategy to help combat hunger with fish and fishery products, MONTfisheries seems to be better prepared, as it works to reach and maintain annual targets of 200,000+ tons by 2025, and generate approximately 400 million golles worth of fish stocks from both capture and aquaculture. The Government’s fish exporting plan was first cautioned in 2014 by His Mount Vema Majesty Peter - The Vema Seamount Authority who was at the time reluctant to engage in commercial fishing activity over Vema Seamount. His Majesty was more interested in good and sustainable management of fisheries as essential to meet international obligations in terms of food supply, as well as preventing any excessive fishing pressure, that could lead to over-fishing and wasteful use of stocks. With this contract, MONTfisheries will now start preparing vessels and equipment to film the summit of the entire Vema Seamount, about 110 sections of the territory each section comprising of an area of about 1 sq. kilometre. The film will later help with the clean-up operations of the entire seamount. To remove all abandoned fishing gear and items that do not form part of the natural environment of Mount Vema.

February 18, 2020 – Mount Vema - After first announced in February 2018 to reconnect with U.S. retail giant Walmart, The Vema Seamount Authority finally made contact, almost eight years after Walmart expressed interest in Mount Vema after the American multinational retail corporation that operates a chain of hypermarkets, discount department stores, and grocery stores responded warmly to the invitation to invest in the Kingdom of Mount Vema.
In a letter, back in 2012 Walmart responded positively to the Royal Mount Vema Embassy’s ‘preliminary’ request for Asda Group Plc to indicate if they would be interested in taking up the offer to enter the Kingdom of Mount Vema’s expanding economy. The letter was signed by Leigh Hopkins, then the retail giant’s Vice President: ‘As you may know,’ he said, ‘we are always looking for new markets where we can improve the quality of life of people through our everyday low prices.’ ‘We will keep your comments in mind in case opportunities arise in that area at the appropriate time.’ Hopkins, who is also responsible for the International Business Unit of Walmart, was responding to the then Royal Mount Vema Embassy’s Honorary Consul’ s proposal to Asda Group Plc for the supermarket chain to invest in Mount Vema.

Mount Vema is ready for Walmart and contact was finally made as The Vema Seamount Authority continues his tireless efforts to find reliable partners and suppliers for the City of Mount Vema Project. The Mount Vema Monarchy is keen to have Asda Group Plc on board because the company has the ability to create a reliable distribution infrastructure with the backing of its parent company Wal-Mart Plc, which would create an inflow of jobs to the already vast empire that is Asda and it would allow Asda Group Plc to create a larger international presence alongside any financial rewards it may gain. The proposal, presented to Asda about back in 2012, was part of His Mount Vema Majesty’s government’s deliberate investment drive to lure major international companies to tap into the kingdom’s developmental projects. February 3, 2020 – MOUNT VEMA – Wibmor has confirmed plans to create up to 6000 jobs as part of a strategy to invest in a supper warehouse which was initially planned for South Africa but, will now be moved to the United Kingdom.
The news comes after sources familiar with the company plans told VSBCnews that Wibmor finds the United Kingdom more pro-business, and especially after attempts made by the Vema Seamount Authority to work with the Government of South Africa produced no results so far. Now with looming deadlines, Mount Vema companies are making changes, moving most of their operations to the UK and other countries nearby after first announcing that they were considering moving in March 2019. The move to set up logistic operations in the UK rather than South Africa will cost more in terms of transportation and labor, but Wibmor is committed and is willing to sacrifice a share of its estimated revenues to meet deadlines and deliver on schedule. Where in the UK is not known yet, but the planned super warehouse which will be the first of its kind to establish a distribution hub initially planned for Cape Town - South Africa, is expected to attract regional businesses and from other countries with no formal trade arrangements with Mount Vema who will need the facilities to export products to Mount Vema. The warehouse is expected to create an additional 12,000 jobs where the distribution center will be located and, will reduce local unemployment as it will play a pivotal role in attracting new industries and jobs to the City of Mount Vema during and after construction. Wibmor says, the Super Warehouse will be strategic to manage Mount Vema imports from other countries and will form part of the company’s long-term plans to also manage exports of fisheries and other products from Mount Vema to the world. |
