The quest of the several countries around the world to create the COVID-19 vaccine is perhaps one of the most important and closely monitored venture that humans have ever tread.

Just recently, Russian leader Vladimir Putin has announced that they already made the first vaccine against coronavirus. Of course, this news sheds light on many because we've already seen how destructive this pandemic is and our only hope next to God is a vaccine that will make us immune. However, there are many skeptics about this recent announcement questioning what they compel as a too-rushed development that lacks data.

But while we are waiting for an effective vaccine, perhaps many of us may ask, "Is there anything else we can do to make our defense mechanism even stronger". Well, the answer is Yes.

A very interesting article published by the NCBI (National Center for Biotechnology Information) in the US, entitled "The powerful immune system against powerful COVID-19: A hypothesis", suggests based on supplementary materials that our immune cells have cellular energy that if depleted would render them to fail in counteracting the virus. The hypothesis also suggests that to improve such cellular energy repletion means eating foods with low specific dynamic action (SDA - the amount of energy used after ingestion of food that shall be used for metabolism - usage and/or storage energy), having regular exercise, and refraining from smoking.
