COVID-19 SPECIAL W/ REGISTERED DIETITIAN ASHLEY KIBUTHA AND DR. SIMON MBIRUA

Today we are joined by Dr. Simon Mbirua and Registered Dietician Ashley Kibutha to discuss the current Cornona situation. We firmly believe in sticking to our lanes when it comes to knowledge, which is why we wanted Simon and Ashley to give their professional opinions and knowledge. Simon takes us through Covid- 19 from a medical perspective. He discusses its origin, symptoms, the current situation in Kenya and what to do if you think you have the virus. Ashley then takes us through the nutrition perspective; how we can help support our immune system through nutrition. She debunks any myths on foods or drinks that can cure the virus or 'boost' the immune system. We then discuss self-isolation and how to incorporate fitness into this new lifestyle. We go through basic home gym equipment and exercise techniques . We try to finish on a positive note, how to appreciate what we have and to use this time wisely doing things we have been putting off due to our busy lifestyles.
