Vitamin D
A recent study of 489 individuals found that those who had low levels of vitamin D or even a vitamin D deficiency were actually more likely to test positive for the virus that is known to cause COVID-19 than those who had normal levels of this vitamin.
Researchers explained that vitamin D supports our immune systems, and maybe that’s why people with good levels of this essential vitamin are less likely to get the virus. COVID-19 or not, one thing is certain: we all need vitamin D.
So, do you think you’re getting enough? Almost 42 percent of the U.S. population is vitamin D deficient. With this concerning number on the plate, you might be vitamin D deficient without knowing it. If you’ve been feeling sad lately for apparently no reason, maybe a vitamin D deficiency is going on.
