Could This Disease Be Linked to Severe COVID-19 Infection!?

Dear Living Well Daily Reader,
Even with the vaccine, COVID-19 cases are still rising.
And it’s not because the vaccine or safety precautions aren’t working… far from it.
Folks, the sad truth is, the coronavirus is never truly going away.
Which is why it’s important to eliminate as many risks as you can.
And now researchers speculate that ANOTHER disease could put you at risk for severe .
It’s not diabetes or cancer or high BMI… but it could be just as dangerous.
Researchers may have found evidence for the theory that leaky gut can lead to severe COVID-19 .
You might have heard of leaky gut before. It’s a condition where the normally tight spaces between your digestive system cells become looser, letting in infectious bacteria.
It can lead to irritable bowel syndrome, Crohn’s disease, diabetes, and more.
Which is why it makes sense that it can make COVID-19 worse.
Gastrointestinal symptoms are already very common in people with COVID-19. In fact, some of the very first signs of the disease are often nausea, diarrhea, and vomiting.
And there’s a reason why.
COVID-19 attacks ACE-2 receptors. These receptors are found in the lungs, but they are also found in the digestive tract.
The virus can use those gut receptors to enter the rest of the body and lead to a much worse disease when leaky gut is present.
So if you’re already susceptible to gut issues—or if you already have leaky gut— these researchers believe that you may suffer from a worse bout of COVID.
But don’t worry—you can heal your gut.
Let me show you how to get it into tip-top shape.
Dr. Scott’s Healthy Colon Program:
- Start with a Good Probiotic. Yes, probiotics are your gateway to a healthy colon, but they also do much more than that. They can help with brain health, immune function, whole-body inflammation, and even aid in weight loss.
- Reduce Food Allergies. Because of the genes you inherited from your ancestors, certain foods agree with your body and others that don’t. I’ve found most people know the foods they should avoid (even if they don’t sometimes!).
- Avoid Trans Fats. Trans fats are found in margarine and almost every processed food. Do what you can to keep away from these.
- Reduce Inflammation. A low-inflammation diet plan includes staying away from food allergies, trans fats, processed foods, and too much sugar. Take supplements that calm inflammation like curcumin and bacopa.
P.S. In case you missed it, last week I shared how to change one of the most ANNOYING things about the pandemic into a way research showed could lower COVID risk by over 20 . Talk about turning lemons into lemonade! Read all about this crazy trick right here.
