Communication of Vitamin "D" and Corona Virus (COVID-19)

COMMUNICATION OF VITAMIN "D" AND Corona virus  (COVID-19)

Corona Virus is known to attack weakened immunity. This is his strength and your weakness.

So what can be done to make you and your immunity stronger?

Vitamin D is one of the substances that can be taken if you already have some kind of health problem and you have already weakened immunity, you need to take measures to strengthen it and create additional protection for yourself, especially protection for the lungs.

There are many articles that state that Vitamin D deficiency in itself is already a pandemic among 70-80% of people. With a deficiency, you may have problems with your teeth, there will be more inflammation, especially in the lower back, increased vulnerability to autoimmune diseases, increased risk of catching an infection, cardiovascular problems, cancer, type 2 diabetes, bone destruction, neurological problems.

It is also interesting that many viral infections occur in winter, when Vitamin D deficiency is more pronounced. Its deficiency increases the risk of getting more than three hundred diseases, including flu and respiratory infections like pneumonia. The lack of this vitamin increases the vulnerability to infections as it weakens the immune system. It also increases the risk of ARDS associated with the current Corona Virus. This is an acute respiratory restless syndrome. There are studies that say that previous Corona Virus infections that occurred in the recent 2003 and 2015 were successfully treated with Vitamin D, and quite successfully.

Vitamin D reduces anti-inflammatory cytokines, which increase inflammation, and vitamin D suppresses them. Cytokines are, as it were, hormonal messages, they signal to the immune system what needs to be done. Vitamin D also increases the anti-inflammatory cytokine-2, it helps with inflammation.

If you imagine that a person is sick with Corona Virus and has pneumonia in his lungs, then his body needs support, and Vitamin D acts like cortisol, which inhibits inflammation, but without side effects. Vitamin D has antiviral properties and reduces the risk of respiratory infections.

And try to guess who is at risk for lack of Vitamin D? These are obese people, and they are also threatened with Corona Virus. What is the connection here? some viruses suppress the absorption of Vitamin D, apparently they somehow know that Vitamin D is an immune modulator, that is, it helps to control the immune system. Lack of sunlight, one of the reasons for the lack of Vitamin D, and it is very difficult to get it from food, except that in your diet there is salmon, halibut, herring, cod liver oil, etc. The vast majority of people with pneumonia have a deficiency of this vitamin. Using sun protection, you run the risk of getting a Vitamin D deficiency. The darker the skin, the less vitamin you can get from the sun, if you have problems with the digestibility of food, you cannot absorb the right amount of Vitamin D and you will have to take more.
