Your Chance Of Contracting COVID-19 Rises 54% When You're Deficient In This 'Sunshine' Vitamin
Got milk? According to new research published in the journal PLOS-ONE, it's vital to keep one's Vitamin D levels up.
That's because having a vitamin D deficiency increases your risk for getting infected with COVID-19 by more than 50%.
Among over 190,000 people who had been screened for COVID-19, nearly 13% of those with insufficient levels of vitamin D tested positive for the coronavirus.
Conversely, UPI reports just over 8% of those with 'adequate' vitamin D levels, and 6% of those with high levels had COVID-19.
Overall, the researchers found people with 'deficient"'levels of vitamin D were at 54% higher risk of having the dangerous, highly contagious virus.
