Omega-3 will strengthen your immune system and defend against the virus

T lymphocyte cells or just T cells namely macrophages, fight of COVID-19 better the antibodies. There are two types of immune systems: innate and adaptive. T cells belong to the latter one. With their help we develop immunity for the broad pathogens and create a cache of memory T cells. They memorize reactions to different antigens, and then, when they meet those antigens in the future, T cells react faster and more effective (that is what is known as secondary immune response).

The main problems of antibodies are the fact that they aren’t kept long within human bodies and don’t have the memory like T cells. There is data available, which indicates that level of antibodies in people, infected with SARS-CoV-2 drops lower during next 2-3 months. Another recent study showed that in asymptomatic cases level of antibodies is a lot lower and in 40% of such cases they disappear completely after eight weeks.

Reactions of T cells might be quite strong. When scientists from Singapore analyzed results of people, who suffered pneumonia in 2003, they noticed seventeen years later these people still had specific T cells.

Defense, formed by the T cells against the virus is much more effective and lasting than antibodies.

What does it have to do with Omega-3?

Omega-3 wonderfully stimulates the immune system. PUFAs (Polyunsaturated fatty acids) make up the basis of membrane of immune system cell. (Membrane is protective layer against invading viruses)…
