Today we’re going to talk about the relationship between the coronavirus and your lungs. 

The word “corona” comes from the word “crown.” The coronavirus has small projections that look like a little crown—the little projections like lung tissue. 

In certain cases, especially critical coronavirus cases, a person can develop a condition called ARDS (acute respiratory distress syndrome). This is a situation where you have severe hypoxia, which means you have a lack of oxygen. 


Other symptoms are:

 • Rapid breathing 

 • Dizziness

 • Breathlessness

 • Sweating 


What’s missing with COVID-19 is two nutrients:

1. Vitamin D

2. Zinc 


90% of patients with ARDS have very low vitamin D levels.

 • Vitamin D is an immune modulator

 • It can help greatly improve the immune system 

 • It’s a great anti-inflammatory 


Zinc is one of the most important nutrients for your lungs. 

 • It can help reduce inflammation

 • If you’re deficient in zinc, an infection can last longer 

 • If you’re deficient in zinc, you’re more susceptible to infections, viruses, and bacteria

 • If you’re deficient in zinc, you don’t have the full capacity of your white blood cells (your army)
