The risk of reinfection is higher for the elderly! Such products continue to be popular in South Korea

It is reported that a Korean study found that among people infected with the new coronavirus, elderly people aged 65 or above are at a higher risk of reinfection.

According to a report by the British Daily Guardian on the 18th, a study by the Danish Statense Serum Institute showed that after people under the age of 65 were cured, 80% of reinfections were suppressed for at least 6 months. However, for people over 65, the suppression rate of reinfection was only 47%.

Dr. Sten Edelberg of the Statense Serum Institut said: "Young, healthy people rarely get reinfected with the coronavirus , but older people are at higher risk of reinfection. " The results of the study were published in the latest issue of the medical journal The Lancet.

Under the epidemic, people's attention to their own health continues to rise, especially the elderly. The elderly have poor physical fitness, so they are worried that their bodies will not be able to support them after being infected with the new coronavirus, so they will be nervous, anxious, and afraid . Therefore, they will pay special attention to their diet and supplement more nutrients needed by the human body to enhance their resistance.

During the epidemic, changes in people's awareness of health consumption will drive the sales growth of health products.

Protein is especially important for middle-aged and elderly people. It is understood that people's muscle mass decreases by about 25-35% at the age of 65 and by more than 40% at the age of 80. For the elderly, insufficient protein intake can lead to rapid muscle loss.

Protein is a nutrient that cannot be stored, so it is important to eat enough at every meal . In this case, health functional foods for protein supplementation are very popular.

During the epidemic, in addition to taking active and effective protective measures, such as wearing masks, washing hands frequently, disinfecting and other safe and effective protections, people also need to persist in physical exercise and enhance their physical fitness.

"A global vaccination programme is a permanent solution," Professor Rosemary Boyton and Professor Daniel Altman of Imperial College London wrote in the journal.

Now all countries have begun to arrange vaccination in an orderly manner, which has inspired the confidence of people around the world to resist the new coronavirus . Although life will not return to normal immediately, with the help of vaccines, I believe the situation will gradually improve.
