Today we’re going to talk about the relationship between COVID-19, mortality, vitamin D, and latitude.
There are actually all sorts of diseases related to latitude. For example, if you live in the northern hemisphere, you have a higher risk of getting:
• Colorectal cancer
• MS
• Diabetes type 1
• Breast cancer
• Celiac disease
• Lung cancer
An interesting report states that “low population mortality from COVID-19 in countries south of latitude 35 degrees north supports vitamin D as a factor determining severity.” Nordic countries are an exception likely because they consume a lot of fatty fish and take vitamin D supplements.
Vitamin D regulates and suppresses inflammatory cytokines. Vitamin D doesn’t kill the virus, but it can help suppress cytokines, respiratory macrophages, and ARDS.
You can also see lower vitamin D levels in people who have conditions that can increase the risk of death from COVID-19, such as:
• Hypertension
• Obesity
• Diabetes
• Cardiovascular disease
Vitamin D is incredibly important to support the immune system and for suppressing inflammation in the respiratory system.
