Nutritional Recommendation

It is the most unreliable truth that anybody can get infected by the COVID-19, and nobody can escape from the danger of getting tainted by the virus. Yet, the line of hope is that anyone and everyone can boost their resistance, thus avoid the risk of getting affected by the illness. The immunity of humans pulls down as they grow older. If their immune system is robust, them falling sick is feeble. If their resistance is weak, them getting ill is sound. Several factors affect the immune system and its ability, including its nourishment. A two-way connection between nutrition, infection and immunity presents. Changes in one part will affect the others part in our body that's the nature's rule. Well defined immune system quality which is present between each life phase may influence the type, generality and the degree of infections. At the same time, low nutrition to the body will decrease the immune function and expose the body to the danger of getting infected by infectious diseases. Different quantity of micronutrients is required for increasing the immunity power of our body. Generally the vitamins A,C,D,E,B2,B6,B12, iron, zinc and selenium.The deficiencies of micronutrients are acknowledged as a global health issue, and also low nutrition makes it prone to establishes the infections in the body.

BACKGROUND Obtaining comprehensive epidemic information for the targeted global infection disease is crucial for travel health. However, different infectious disease information websites may have various purposes which may lead misunderstanding for travelers and travel health staff for the accurate epidemic control and managmement. OBJECTIVE Developed A Global Infectious Diseases Epidemic Information Monitoring System (GIDEIMS)，in order to get comprehensive and timely global epidemic information. METHODS Distributed web crawler and cloud agent acceleration technology are used to automatically collect epidemic information for more than 200 infectious diseases from 26 established epidemic websites and Baidu news. Natural language processing and in-depth learning technology have been developed to intelligently process epidemic information collected in 28 languages. Currently, the GIDEIMS presents world epidemic information using a geographical map, including date, disease name and reported cases of different countries , epidemic situations in China, etc. RESULTS In order to make a practical assessment of the GIDEIMS, on July 16, 2019, We checked infectious disease data collected from GIDEIMS and other websites. Compared with the Global Incident Map and Outbreak News Today, GIDEIMS provided more comprehensive information on human infectious diseases. GIDEIMS is currently used in the Health Quarantine Department of Shenzhen Customs District (Shenzhen, China), and is recommended to the Health Quarantine Administrative Department of the General Administration of Customs (China) and travel health-related departments. CONCLUSIONS GIDEIMS provides a helpful tool for travelers and travel health management staff with travel health management.

ABSTRACT The authors describe Taiwan’s successful strategy in achieving control of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) without economic shutdown, despite the prediction that millions of infections would be imported from travelers returning from Chinese New Year celebrations in Mainland China in early 2020. As of September 2, 2020, Taiwan reports 489 cases, 7 deaths, and no locally acquired COVID-19 cases for the last 135 days (greater than 4 months) in its population of over 23.8 million people. Taiwan created quasi population immunity through the application of established public health principles. These non-pharmaceutical interventions, including public masking and social distancing, coupled with early and aggressive identification, isolation, and contact tracing to inhibit local transmission, represent a model for optimal public health management of COVID-19 and future emerging infectious diseases.

The promise of a world without disease has been replaced by warnings of evermore virulent pathogens, created by the very drugs that were supposed to save us. Scarcely a day passes without more news of people contracting infections or infectious diseases that cannot be cured by the strongest medicines available. Antimicrobial Resistance is a global health crisis driven by two major factors: the spectacular ability of bacteria to adapt to threats, and a pharmaceutical industry and health care system that puts profit before people. In addition to devastating climate change, the Anthropocene may be defined by epidemics that medicine cannot cure.
