The doctor indicates that the increase in the rate of “Covid-19” disease in the fall may be partly related to vitamin D. He added, explaining, that this vitamin does not have a direct effect on the coronavirus, but it helps to strengthen the immune system, and thus helps to fight “Covid-” 19 “. As is well known, solar activity decreases in the fall, so we get very little vitamin D.

The doctor says, “One recent scientific study indicates that a low level of vitamin D in the blood leads to an exacerbation of infection with the emerging coronavirus. Therefore, those who have a normal level of this vitamin in their blood can resist infection with the disease even after being infected.”

And the doctor advises, the need to obtain vitamin D from healthy food, such as fish and seafood.

He says, “The main and most effective source of vitamin D is fish and seafood. And we must understand, this does not necessarily mean buying expensive types of fish, but rather the need for fish to be oily and marine, such as herring, salmon and mackerel, and generally every substance rich in fish oil is Rich in vitamin D.
