Abstrakt: In the era of Covid-19 when the whole worl is struggling to fight the pandemic, most countries were caught unprepared. The implementation of infection prevention on a large scale was crucial. To improve our immunological status to become more resistantto inflammation, we have to follow what scientists already know – right now the immunization of people should be sped up as much as possible. People should also be immunized against influenza and pneumococcal since all of these cause lung inflammation. Additionally, adults as well as children should be immunized against other diseases according to the immunization schedule. Secondly, for years, we acknowledged that some other prevention methods work substantially to protect us against multiple diseases. We know how to prevent successfully hypertension, diabetes type 2, obesity, inactivity, smoking and alcohol binging, which make people more vulnerable to debilitating chronic inflammation inside their bodies. The fact is that we know the risk factors which make the above mentioned diseases, and we know how to avoid them, which is already well documented in hundreds of papers. The preventive programme should be delivered to the public as urgently as possible. A healthy diet and physical activity can boost positive immunological response and protect people in many ways against many infectious diseases including Covid-19 or lessen their impact.
