The Dhaka Times Desk The covid situation is becoming alarming all over the world. Experts advise not to go out of the house unless necessary to avoid Covid. But vitamin D can become a tool against covid for 3 reasons.
If the body does not get enough sunlight while indoors, vitamin D deficiency can occur even after preventing Covid. Find out why it is necessary to keep a regular eye on the amount of vitamin D in this epidemic.
1. Experts are stressing to boost immunity during covid. Vitamin D helps boost immunity and reduce inflammation in the body. A decrease in vitamin D may also increase the risk of cytokine storms.
2. If vitamin D is low, the risk of pneumonia also increases in the body. Then there may be problems like blood clotting. This problem is more common in overweight and diabetic patients.
3. Vitamin D helps a lot in reducing respiratory tract infections.
However, the human body needs sunlight to produce vitamin D. Since going out during Covid is practically a risky affair, experts suggest taking vitamin D supplements if needed. Salmon, cod liver oil, mushrooms, milk and eggs are rich sources of vitamin D. Therefore, eating these foods regularly can fill the deficiency of vitamin D in the body. Source: Anandabazar Patrika.
