A recent study published in the scientific journal “PLOS One” pointed out that people who are deficient in vitamin D have a higher chance of getting severe from the new crown!
According to foreign health mediaWebMDAccording to the report, this study was conducted on more than 250 confirmed patients admitted to the Galilee Medical Center in Israel between April 2020 and February 2021. It was found that the confirmed patients with insufficient vitamin D in their bodies developed severe symptoms following infection. 14 times more likely than patients with normal vitamin D levels!
Not only that, the data also pointed out that the mortality rate of ordinary new crown patients is 2.3%, and the mortality rate of confirmed patients with vitamin D deficiency is as high as 25.6%! Amiel Dror, a research doctor, said in an interview that the results of the study showed that vitamin D levels significantly affected whether patients became severely ill following contracting the new coronavirus.
At the same time, they also found that regardless of age, gender and underlying disease, as long as ensuring sufficient vitamin D content in the body can help improve the immunity of the respiratory system to fight the new coronavirus.
Even though it is not yet certain whether the drop in vitamin D levels in the body is caused by the coronavirus, health officials in many countries are advising people to take vitamin D supplements according to the recommended intake while the global epidemic has not subsided. And Dr. Amiel Dror also stressed that adequate vitamin D supplementation will not bring any negative effects.
People who are not used to oral vitamin D supplements do not need to worry too much, as long as they get more sunlight on weekdays, and take a balanced intake of various foods rich in vitamin D, such as mushrooms, grains, soy milk, fatty fish (salmon, mackerel, sardines) , tuna), dairy products, eggs, oranges, etc., so that you can get enough vitamin D!
