Gain-of-function research, where dangerous viruses are genetically enhanced, is often conducted with the intention of researching strategies to prevent pandemics.

Yet by intervening with nature, humans often invariably create much deadlier viruses than nature intended, our medical columnist, Dr. Yuhong Dong, wrote in her article on Saturday.

She suggests more accessible methods to prepare the public for disease outbreaks, like nutritional supplementation and exercising regularly to improve one’s immunity.

Omega-3 fatty acids, often derived from seafood, are a common supplement people may take to improve their health.

While these fatty acids have a multitude of benefits in eye, neurological, and psychological health, other conflicting studies found that supplementation may cause adverse effects to the heart. Since omega-3 supplements are often not made equal, be sure to check out our essential guide to learn how to find the suitable supplement for you.

Omega-3 may help reduce blood pressure in people with hypertension. Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is a highly common yet often asymptomatic and disregarded condition—sometimes called a silent killer.

In 90 percent of cases, the cause for hypertension is unknown, though aging is a major contributing factor.

Finally, sarcopenia or loss of muscle due to aging may be reversedthrough these five exercises, our occupational therapist Kevin Shelley proposes.
