Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that plays a number of critical roles in your body.
This nutrient is especially important for immune system health, leaving many people to wonder whether supplementing with vitamin D may help reduce the risk of contracting the new coronavirus that causes COVID-19.
It’s important to note that there’s currently no cure for COVID-19 and no preventive measures other than social distancing and proper hygiene practices can protect you from developing this disease.
That said, some research shows that having healthy levels of vitamin D, as well as taking a vitamin D supplement, can help keep your immune system healthy and may protect against respiratory illnesses in general.
This article explains how vitamin D affects immune health and how supplementing with this nutrient may help protect against respiratory conditions.
How does vitamin D affect immune health?
Vitamin D is necessary for the proper functioning of your immune system, which is your body’s first line of defense against infection and disease.
This vitamin plays a critical role in promoting immune response. It has both anti-inflammatory and immunoregulatory properties and is crucial for the activation of immune system defenses (1Trusted Source).
Vitamin D is known to enhance the function of immune cells, including T-cells and macrophages, that protect your body against pathogens (2Trusted Source).
In fact, the vitamin is so important for immune function that low levels of vitamin D have been associated with an increased susceptibility to infection, disease, and immune-related disorders (3Trusted Source).
For example, low vitamin D levels are associated with an increased risk of respiratory diseases, including tuberculosis, asthma, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), as well as viral and bacterial respiratory infections (4Trusted Source, 5Trusted Source, 6Trusted Source, 7Trusted Source).
What’s more, vitamin D deficiency has been linked to decreased lung function, which may affect your body’s ability to fight respiratory infections (8Trusted Source, 9Trusted Source).
summary
Vitamin D is critical for immune function. A deficiency in this nutrient may compromise immune response and increase your risk of infection and disease.

. Haha. Ngu không thể nào ngu hơn. Gom hết ngu trong thiên hạ chẳng chừa lại cho tui. Nghĩ sao mà dám gom tắm nắng với giữ khoảng cách. Tắm nắng có thể tắm trong sân nhà, ngồi duoí hiên, làm vườn. Nên đốt đèn mù u lên để tham khảo về vit D. Cach ly không phải là ngồi thù lù trong nhà, hoặc đóng cửa kín mít. Vit D tự nhiên là tốt nhất đông thời nắng sẽ diệt được khuẩn, ảnh nắng sẽ giảm stress. Lúc này mọi người đang lo sợ, thread nay nghiêm túc; không biết thì đừng tỏ ra nguy hiểmđèn mù u wrote:nhonguoita wrote:Spend time in sunlight vừa kill germ vừa tăng vit D.
