COVID-19 inhibition: green tea, cacao & grapes

[Tim R]

I just found this research paper

https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpls.2020.601316/full

 

This study found that certain chemical compounds in green tea (they used "Xinyang Maojian"), cacao and grapes (muscadine grape) have inhibitory qualities on an enzyme (main protease, MPro), which the virus needs to replicate. 

The extent to which consumption of this food can actually contribute to a protective effect against COVID cannot be derived from this study tho, since it was in-vitro.

I had it about 6 months ago. Strong fever for 6 days, no coughing. Caught it at my workplace. It was no big deal.

Now that's me. You better watch out, you never know.

Good share, I've heard about the potential effects of green-tea EGCG. In-vitro is a good start and all the groundbreaking research in nutrition starts in Petri dishes. In any way, one extra reason to drink more green tea

@Tim R Mix green tea with oat milk, honey, cinnamon, dissolve bar of dark choco or some cocoa - tastes delicious

Covid is really nothing more serious than a simple cold & flu from a physical perspective. A little sunshine, daily exercise and fruit rich in vitamin c will easily take care of this issue within a week max unless you have a very poor diet/lifestyle habit.

From a spiritual standpoint: Love more, fear less. It shall pass.

Yeah, media fear porn 24/7 has really made everyone scared of everyone though. 
 

Yet, it never talks about the easiest, long term solutions of raising a healthy population from the ground up ??‍♂️
