A study carried out by a team of researchers from IIPH-Gandhinagar (IIPH-G), has revealed that Vitamin D is an integral part of Covid-19 treatment and can contribute to cutting severity of the virus. Sun is the biggest source of Vitamin D and when outdoor, our skin can absorb sunlight and create vitamin D on our skin and Body. The study however has also mentioned that Vitamin D does not play any role in the mortality of a covid-19 positive patient.
Vitamin D is said to improve the immune system of a human body. It has also been observed that those with vitamin levels of 40-50 nanograms / millilitre (ng/ml) have less covid-19 severity than those who have less vitamin D. Further studies are needed to understand the reason behind this theory and its impact. We know any kind of vitamin is important for our immune system. Vitamin is our daily basic supplement and to lead a healthy lifestyle, intake of vitamin is very important for our daily life.
Experts said that the vitamin is important for regulation of calcium and phosphate in the body along with the immune system. Earlier studies have also proved the impact of vitamin in respiratory tract infection. Intake of fortified food – ranging from milk to oil – in daily diet can help in achieving better immunity.
Vitamin D cannot be the ultimate solution for boosting immunity against covid-19. With the pandemic changing our lifestyle, we should also learn to lead a healthy lifestyle. Proper diet and exercise is also the key to a good immune system. Having fruits on your daily diet also boosts your immunity with various vitamins.
