Book excerpt: According to the World Health Organization (WHO), coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by a newly discovered coronavirus (SARS-Cov2), which may cause mild to moderate respiratory complications in most infected people. Older people and those with chronic and/or acute illnesses may present serious complications. Underlying mechanisms of the cellular responses to the virus are not fully revealed; therefore, understanding the pathophysiology of COVID-19 is crucial to provide efficient data to define the appropriate and effective therapeutic strategies to cure and prevent COVID-19-associated complications. The Handbook of Research on Pathophysiology and Strategies for the Management of COVID-19 summarizes and assembles the published data on COVID-19 and provides an answer to the reader for the mystery of SARS-Cov2’s impact on human health through a deep analysis of the current data available in the literature. This book addresses the epidemiology and infectious patterns of the disease and the recent pathophysiological mechanisms of the disease and relationships to the medical history of the patient. Covering topics from the tie between COVID-19 and respiratory disease to vaccination information, this comprehensive reference source is ideal for clinicians, health professionals, pathologists, virologists, researchers, academicians, and medical and PhD students.

Book excerpt: Vitamin E was discovered in 1922 by Evans and Bishop as an essential micronutrient for reproduction in rats. The active substance was isolated in 1936 by Evans and was named tocopherol, although the tocopherols and tocotrienols are actually a group of eight isomeric molecules that are characterized by a chromanol ring structure and a side chain. Providing an overview of the state-of-the-art of the chemistry of vitamin E, this book reflects the issues stemming from the complexity of the role and actions in vivo as well as in vitro. It summarizes information on the properties and function of vitamin E, the current understanding of the advantages and limitations of it, and also its application in promotion of health and prevention of diseases. Based on sound, solid scientific evidence, this is a timely addition to the literature as the centennial anniversary of the discovery of this important vitamin approaches.

Book excerpt: The world has been swept with a pandemic which is having long term and excruciating effects for those who get infected and survive.A positive test for COVID-19 can mean many things. So much is still not understood. The virus can leave you completely asymptomatic, kill you, or a million different variations in between. We don't know why some people get sicker than others, and why some people seem to recover, then months later, develop a new host of symptoms. Then there are the "long-haulers" who survive the initial infection, but stay sick for many months. The first person I met who contracted COVID-19 is my sister who is a registered nurse. She started with chills and a fever, and quickly progressed to double pneumonia, and almost died. She is still very sick today and her long-term prognosis is unknown at this time. We have no idea why she got so sick, as she had none of the typical "co-morbidities" associated with severe cases of COVID-19. While caring for her, I learned about specific dietary recommendations that her doctors and the medical profession as a whole were making. Since I am a professional chef, specifically in the area of Autoimmune Protocol, I dug into these recommendations and started to formulate a diet plan that would support healing, immunity and muscle building in the aftermath of COVID-19. I am not a doctor or medical professional of any kind. I am not purporting to cure any disease or affliction. I am definitely not advocating to stop following your doctor's advice, or to stop taking the medications prescribed to you to treat your illness. I am simply taking some basic concepts that anyone can research in depth and applying them to an easy-to-use diet and menu plan to follow as you recover from COVID-19 or any other illness for that matter. It is well known that eating correctly can support the process of healing a great deal. COVID-19 and other infections cause a massive amount of inflammation in the body. This inflammation manifests in a variety of symptoms, even, in some cases, long after the virus is thought to be eradicated and you have tested negative. After infection, the resulting "cytokine storm" taking place in the body is what creates all of the inflammation as the body's immune system desperately fights the virus. Frequently, the more severe cases of COVID-19 can result in muscle wasting as the body burns up muscle tissue for energy in the fight to eradicate the virus. The two most important take-aways from the above summary are inflammation and muscle wasting. As you begin your journey to full recovery, you want to provide your body with all of the tools it needs to rebuild the lost muscle and reduce the inflammation. Brain inflammation, which is more commonly referred to as "brain fog" happens quite frequently to sufferers of COVID-19. We will incorporate the following foods into your diet regularly which can help to relieve the brain fog: avocado, blueberries, celery, fatty fish (ssuch as salmon), turmeric curcumin, walnuts, green leafy vegetables, broccoli, cinnamon. Whether you barely felt sick or are a "long hauler," the dietary recommendations in this book will provide you with the nutritional support you need to bring your body back into balance.I wish you great success on your journey back to health and well-being.
