What the Corona virus brings and how to stay healthy

As a company owner, I have been on many long-haul flights in the past years. I spent more than half of the year traveling. These trips caused not only the fatigue caused by the flights, but also the tiredness due to the different climate and time difference. In these conditions, I had to take many precautions to avoid getting sick. In addition to healthy eating, regular sleep and sports, I was trying to protect myself with vitamin supplements. Although I tried to be careful, my body could be caught unprotected against all kinds of bacteria and virus attacks during periods when the immune system was somehow weakened. Because of my high work pace, getting sick meant a great loss for me.

However, at the end of these experiences, I discovered something very important and I can say that it has reduced my rate of illness to almost zero in recent years. Ventilation and air conditioning systems in the spaces are among the most suitable environments that allow bacteria and viruses to multiply. Although air conditioning and ventilation systems have a good filter system, they are the most suitable channels for the reproduction and spread of bacteria and viruses. There is air conditioning in hotel rooms, taxis, airplanes, restaurants, everywhere, and especially in air conditioning systems that are turned off at night and operated during the day, bacteria and viruses that reproduce when the air conditioning system is turned on seriously pollute the environment. The most accurate method of protection you can personally provide against these bacteria and viruses that are invisible and threaten our health will be a mask. Masks will not only keep your breath moist in a dry environment, but also block threats from outside. Of course, since bacteria and viruses will settle on the surface of disposable masks, you should not neglect to change them frequently.
I would like to give another ironic tip regarding my use of masks. I would like to add that 1-2 drops of Chinese oil that you will drip on your mask will make you breathe more freshly and make you feel more comfortable and relaxed.
In this way, I have been protected from infections as a result of my travels for the last 5 years. After that, I told all my friends at my workplace to use these masks in the office in case they sneeze more than twice. It has become our most important rule that they do not come to the office when they realize that they are already sick. I always recommend this method to all my friends and relatives.

There is another important method of protection that I have discovered in the last two years. Especially if I am traveling or in a crowded environment during the day, I clean my sinuses with salt water in the evening and in the morning. Thanks to this, I realized that I did not get sick.

With the presence of COVID-19, or Corona Virus, which emerged in Wuhan, China in December 2019, I definitely started to think a few more times before traveling. In January 2020, I traveled to Germany twice, to Denmark once, and to the USA (Chicago, Las Vegas, San Diego and Los Angeles) at the end of January. I was very nervous, especially before I went to the USA, which was my last trip. This time I should have been more cautious. I made my preparations with anti-viral lozenge, anti-viral syrup, anti-bacterial cloth and sprays from the pharmacy. However, the most important of these would be the mask. There was an important innovation that we developed in the last 6 years. With this innovation, we won 3 important and big awards. This fabric had both anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties as well as neutron holding capacity. With the information we got from some scientific studies, we knew that it was also anti-viral.

With this invention, which we call EOC, we immediately tried some masks. Since I believe in the comfort of use, I decided to use the product we developed after trying 3-4 different fabrics and models. I set out with these masks, which I feel safe with their comfort of use, washability and permanent feature. I drop 1-2 drops of peppermint oil on the mask, it gives relief. I used my own product with confidence in airports, hotels and a fair visited by thousands of people and attended by exhibitors from all over the world, especially from China. It is impossible not only to know that I am safe, but also to tell you the pride of using the product that I developed myself. I hope this technology and product will become a truly beneficial invention for humanity.
