In Italy, since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic, more than 1,600,000 people have been cured, who, after having dealt with the disease with more or less severe symptoms, became negativized.
An "excellent news that, however, is linked to" another one with outlines yet to be defined: the "increasingly high incidence of people affected by the so-called" post-Covid syndrome ".
, muscle aches, breathing difficulties, heart problems. All problems that in many cases remain for several months after recovery and which can therefore be debilitating, lowering the quality of life and impacting the work performance of the subjects involved.
"Recent studies have shown that the most recurrent of symptoms, fatigue, is present in about 80% of the patients studied. Many even have difficulty climbing a flight of stairs or getting out of bed. Following: dyspnea (or hunger d "air) which is present in 65% of cases, and widespread pains (including chest pains) reported in 5% of cases", explains Dr. Evasio Pasini, Cardiologist and Clinical Pathologist, former ac University of Brescia, at the forefront of Covid patients in Brescia, co-author of the book "Courage and passion - Brescia and Covid-19", published by the Spedali Civili Foundation of Brescia.
, due to a reduction in pulmonary diffusion, secondary to permanent damage or slow resolution of the pulmonary interstitium, consequent to acute viral pneumonia. - continues Evasio Pasini - This hypothesis is not totally convincing, however, given that this problem also affects those who during the the disease has not found acute respiratory insufficiencies ".
The metabolic alterations of the affected cells are under observation
Another hypothesis could therefore be linked to the mode of replication of the virus. "Like any other virus, Covid-19 also attacks the cells of our body, made up of many molecules, including proteins, in turn made up of chains of amino acids, and splits them to use the amino acids thus available in order to create new virions identical to the starting virus. First of all, the virus attacks and penetrates inside the cell. Then there is the undressing phase, during which the virus frees its genetic patrimony and inserts it into the cell's genetic message, sending "false messages" to the cell itself, which makes all or part of its resources available to assemble new ones. viruses called virions. Both the direct attack of the virus and some subsequent processes cause important metabolic / structural alterations of the affected cells, which lose their metabolic / functional abilities, and it takes time to restore both its structural and energetic assets to return to normal activities . It is important to underline that Covid-19 attacks almost all the cells of our body. The clinical symptoms are mainly pulmonary because the virus enters with the breath and the first anatomical structure it encounters is the lung "
and actively supporting the neo-formation of those molecules, such as proteins, which have been "snatched" by the virus.
An "ad hoc integration with amino acids and vitamins, where deficiencies are highlighted, is the first step to take. Subsequently, and always under the supervision of a specialist doctor, doing adequate motor rehabilitation and introducing nutritional supports quantitatively adequate to cellular needs, greatly helps. recovery ".
How to integrate amino acids
In the alimentary part of the therapy, the supply of amino acids is fundamental. "The 9 amino acids called" essential ", Leucine, Isoleucine, Valine, Lysine, Methionine, Phenylalanine, Threonine, Tryptophan, Histidine, must be categorically taken with the diet or with supplements as our metabolism is unable to synthesize them. On the contrary, the other amino acids, called "Non Essential", can be synthesized starting from the various molecules already available. We must also remember that the "nitrogen contained in the" non-essential "amino acids" weighs "on the kidneys, where it accumulates, constituting a waste substance that can clog the disposal systems making protein synthesis less efficient. This is why, better than a" diet " hyper-protein, which can cause kidney problems, it would be ideal to take a mixture of individual essential "human tailored" amino acids, that is, specific for humans and highly bioavailable », concludes Dr. Pasini.
