Scientists link vitamin D deficiencies to higher COVID-19 mortality rates

Could going outside help fight the Coronavirus?

As the country continues to debate whether beaches and parks should be open during the coronavirus pandemic, a new study could potentially shine a light on how vitamin D might help the human body’s immune system in its fight against the Coronavirus.

Scientists have known that vitamin D has numerous health benefits, including boosting your immune system.

Studies have found that vitamin influences your body’s susceptibility to autoimmune diseases, such as multiple sclerosis and the seasonal flu.

Vitamin D is a fat-soluble compound not found in very many foods, but it can be absorbed through supplements.

The major natural source of vitamin D is from ultraviolet rays when sunlight hits the skin and triggers vitamin D synthesis.
