Vitamin D is one of the most important substances for the human body. It helps us to absorb phosphorus and calcium, ensuring healthy growth of bones and teeth, normalizes blood sugar levels, and protects nerve cells.
The lack of this vitamin affects not only the physiology, but also the psyche – it is fraught with depression and increased irritability.
Paradoxically, even in a sunny country like Israel, vitamin D deficiency is common.
However, studies show, it is the sufficient amount of this vitamin in the body that greatly reduces the likelihood of an “unfavorable outcome” with “covid”.
In this regard, the British press reminds the population about the main food sources of this extremely useful substance.
These are primarily dairy products, first of all – milk and kefir (in the English version – “yogurt”). Especially those names that say that they are fortified with this vitamin – regular consumption of such dairy products reduces the body’s daily need for vitamin D by 10-20 percent. And at the same time, it provides the digestive tract with useful probiotics.
Another excellent source of this vitamin is fatty fish, in particular, red (salmon, salmon, pink salmon), tuna, mackerel. For example, 100 grams of salmon provides the body with all the vitamin D it needs for a day.
Mushrooms, especially portobello, are a good source of this vitamin, but they synthesize the vitamin from sunlight, and the content of this vitamin in them directly depends on how long the mushrooms have been in the light – including after they have been picked.
In addition, chicken eggs can satisfy the need for vitamin D. True, given that one egg yolk contains about 10% of the daily dose required by the body, ten eggs will have to be eaten, which is too much for one person. Therefore, it is better to combine sources of this vitamin so as not to overdo it with the same foods.
