Vitamin D and it’s importance in Covid era

TAKING A VITAMIN D SUPPLEMENT MAY BE MORE IMPORTANT THAN EVER IN THE TIME OF COVID -19

Here's why 

If you are deficient in Vitamin D, you are 3-4 times more likely to catch a cold. It, therefore, makes sense a viral respiratory infection like Covid-19 would be worse if you were vitamin D deficient.

Also people who are self-isolating or unable to go outside into the sunshine, people living in regions impacted by air pollution, people who are malnourished, overweight or obese and those with low baseline 25(OH)D concentrations are likely to have weakened immune systems and functions and be at increased risk of viral infections.

A daily 10 minutes in the sun gives us adequate amounts of vitamin D.
