As you know, I like science, and the nutraceuticals world has published the results of two studies that link Vitamin D and the fight against the Chronavirus.
Real Science is beginning to grasp the neck of the Chronavirus! This article shows a true link between Vitamin D; and those at risk, successfully fighting off the Chronavirus.
Two recent clinical trials have been recently published, reaffirming prior preliminary studies which have asserted that vitamin D deficiency is significantly associated with severe health complications, including death, in patients infected with the novel coronavirus (COVID-19).
A lot of those most at risk are not prone to go outside much, and the house arrest orders have further aggravated this by increasing the lack of sun exposure! In this instance, the house arrest orders have significantly increased this specific risk; for those most at risk....
Another factor is direct sun exposure; seeing less as one moves further North. So my Canadian and Nothern European friends pay attention to this extra risk!
Vitamin D levels across populations are often highly disparate due to the nature in which it is absorbed through sunlight. In northern countries, where populations are exposed to less sunlight, vitamin D deficiency is often more prevalent.
Now a word to my friends who GOD saw fit to wrap in darker skin than my own; Vitamin D is manufactured when sun is absorbed into the body's chemical plants. Skin GOD designed as protection for His Children originally living closer to the Equator; when moved further away from that level of sun, will cause deficiencies in Vitamin D!
Skin pigmentation also plays a role in how well vitamin D is synthesized through sunlight absorption- people with higher melanin content in their skin, giving it a darker appearance, are often disproportionately affected by vitamin D deficiency.
PLEASE treat this very seriously, we need all the good people we can get, and this is causing a Real statistical risk that is simple to avoid!
Researchers at Michigan University have hypothesized that disparities in vitamin D levels may be a compounding factor in the disproportionate death rates among black Americans around the country. In Michigan, over 40% of COVID-19 deaths are African Americans, while African Americans make up only 14% of the population.
As long as this special Vitamin D deficiency is understood, supplements can be used to raise Vitamin D to a safe level. Please include this as a long term supplement, because it helps with a lot of health conditions! My wife takes Vitamin D to help with her MS.
Be safe using science as your tool, because GOD designed a wonderous system; and wishes you well!
