“…Since the very beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, the importance of proper nutrition, as a requirement for a healthy immune system, has been widely emphasized [ 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 ]. Therefore, it was not surprising for the results to have shown that the importance of health, natural content, and weight control significantly increased among women during the COVID-19 pandemic when compared to the period before it.…”

The coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic brought changes to almost every segment of our lives, including dietary habits. We present one among several studies, and the first on the Croatian population, aiming at investigating changes of food choice motives before and during the pandemic. The study was performed in June 2021 as an online-based survey, using a 36-item Food Choice Questionnaire applied for both the periods before and during the pandemic. The final sample consisted of 1232 adults living in Croatia. Sensory appeal was ranked as the number one most important food choice motive before, whereas health was ranked as the number one most important food choice motive during the pandemic. Ethical concern was reported as the least important food choice motive both before and during the pandemic. In women, natural content (p = 0.002), health, convenience, price, weight control, familiarity, and ethical concern (all p < 0.001) became more important during the pandemic, while price (p = 0.009), weight control, familiarity, and ethical concern (all p < 0.001) became more relevant for men. All together, these can be considered favorable changes toward optimal diets and may result in beneficial influences on health and lifestyle. Education strategies and efficiently tackling misinformation are prerequisites for informed food choice, which will ensure long-lasting positive effects of such changes.

“…Several supporting tests can be done to help establish the diagnosis of LPR, such as dual sensor pH probes, empirical therapy with PPIs, multichannel intraluminal impedance-pH monitoring (MII-pH Monitoring), Oropharyngeal pH Monitoring, detection. Pepsin and bile salts, and a histopathological examination can also be performed.However, a study concluded that RSI is a simple tool to diagnose and evaluate therapy in LPR patients without the need for invasive procedures.RSI is easier to use to evaluate therapy because the improvements that arise can be assessed more quickly than using findings at the time of physical examination Zildzic et al (2020b).…”

Gastric contents that return to the oesophagus and other respiratory organs cause coughing, hoarseness, a lump in the throat, difficulty swallowing, and sore throat Zildzic et al (2020a).

(LPR) is a condition in which gastric content to the and reaches larynx and pharynx so that mucous membranes of the larynx, pharynx, and other respiratory organs are inflamed. The symptoms of LPR can affect daily activities, resulting in a decrease in the quality of life (QOL) of the patients. Proton Pump Inhibitor (PPI) is the main therapy for patients with LPR. PPI can improve the symptoms experienced by patients with LPR. The objective of this research is to determine the QOL of patients with LPR after receiving PPI. This research's method is quasi-experimental studies using and post-test design from January 2021 to February 2021, in 18 patients were assessed for QOL scores using RSI. Each patient was administered 30 mg twice daily before meals for 14 days. Two times of observations are done, before therapy and 14 days after therapy. Data analysis using paired sample T-test. The result is that there is a significant improvement in QOL of patients with LPR on RSI scores after 14 days of administration of 30 mg. (p<0,05). It is concluded that PPI significantly improved the QOL of patients with LPR.

“…A specific adaptive immune response in non-severe stages and the incubation period is required to remove the virus and to prevent the disease expansion [ 16 ]. Sufficient numbers of different types of vitamins, minerals, and several nutrient substances help activate the immune system [ 39 ]. To protect against viral infection it is important to balance the nutrition, according to Calder et al [ 40 ].…”

The COVID-19, the most infectious pandemic disease arising due to SARS-CoV-2 (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2) has caused huge issues globally. In this review, we discuss the impact of COVID-19 on the immune system of the human body and the protective mechanisms of the host immune system opposing viral infections. Here, we summarize the effect of the pandemic of the novel coronavirus disease on the immune system such as sleep and Behavioral Immune System (BIS) together with consideration of researcher’s observation points of view. We draw particular attention to recent up-to-date reports concerning COVID-19 drugs as well as information about the landscape document for COVID-19 vaccines released by WHO (World Health Organization), and some adverse events of COVID-19 vaccination. Additionally, can take part in the preventive appraise in opposition within this pandemic severe COVID-19 infections disease may affect some outcome in physical exercise, physical movement, healthy diets, and good nutrition are significant for supporting the immune systems and summarize AYUSH (Ayurveda, Yoga and Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha, and Homeopathy) Indian medicinal systems guidelines for immunity boosting procedures during COVID-19 pandemic.
