Get some sunshine and eat vitamin D-rich foods to reduce risk of COVID-19 death
How You Can Increase Vitamin D Intake During The Pandemic
Your body produces vitamin D when exposed to sunlight. So, it is important to get some sunlight every day. If you’re not getting enough sunlight, make sure you eat more foods rich in vitamin D or take supplements. Here are some foods that contain vitamin D.
Mushrooms
Mushrooms are the best plant source of vitamin D. Like humans, mushrooms also synthesize vitamin D when exposed to sunlight. Therefore, wild mushrooms contain more vitamin D than commercially grown mushrooms, which are often grown in the dark.
Salmon
Wild salmon is better than farmed ones when it comes to vitamin D content. While wild salmon contains about 988 IU of vitamin D per serving, farmed salmon contains 250 IU, on average.
Sardines
This small fish that is available as raw, canned, smoked, or pickled is one of the best sources of vitamin D. Eat more sardines during the pandemic to raise your vitamin D levels and prevent respiratory infections, including COVID-19.
Egg Yolks
Some people can’t bear the smell of fish. If you’re one of them, eat eggs instead. While the white portion contains mostly protein, the yellow yolk contains most of the fat, vitamins, and minerals. One typical egg yolk can provide 37 IU of vitamin D.
