So, the whole world today is urgently looking for ways to help stop the pandemic, which is associated with the coronavirus disease. Health professionals in England have already given their recommendations for daily intake of vitamins of any group, but they also insist on the use of vitamin D during the entire pandemic. In normal life, everyone gets this vitamin when they are usually outside in the summer. After all, vitamin is produced from the sun’s rays, and therefore it is often called “vitamin of the sun”.
Who exactly should take vitamin D?
During a pandemic, WHO (World Health Organization) strongly recommends that public places be visited less frequently, which means that people often do not go outside at all during quarantine. This is the case when there is a catastrophic shortage of “solar vitamin”.
A person is at home, and therefore his body practically does not receive this natural and important vitamin. It is important to know that 10 mcg of vitamin D per day is a necessary norm for the body. Therefore, doctors give recommendations for regular intake of this vitamin in tablets, and it is worth doing this throughout the year. It is worth knowing that you should definitely get a medical consultation before the appointment. Now you can take a test for the content of vitamin D in the body.
Which category of people is taking vitamin D extremely important?
First of all, people who are rarely outdoors:
- forced to stay at home after operations, as well as various diseases;
- elderly people who permanently live in special homes for this category;
- people living in the Northern regions;
- categories of people who wear completely closed clothing and others.
Vitamin D primarily helps strengthen teeth, bones, and muscles. But medical research has shown that it also helps in the fight against colds. In addition, vitamin D may increase the overall immunity of the body, which is not yet officially confirmed in medicine.
Protects against coronavirus?
To date, there is no official evidence that vitamin D protects against coronavirus. But, nevertheless, doctors believe that this vitamin will facilitate the course of complications associated with the disease in coronavirus.
