A new study in the United States found that people with vitamin D deficiency had a 77% increased risk of contracting new coronary pneumonia. However, up to 98% of Chinese people are deficient in vitamin D. In fact, many foods are rich in vitamin D, such as: salmon, tuna, mackerel, sardines, egg yolks, cheese, mushrooms, black fungus, mushrooms.
Zhang Xiaoting, Chief Nursing Officer of Xinguang Hospital Health Examination Center, pointed out that vitamin D (also known as vitamin D) is a group of fat-soluble vitamins and is one of the important nutrients for maintaining normal growth and health.
Vitamin D can help calcium absorption and prevent osteoporosis; many studies have confirmed that it can also regulate cell growth, regulate neuromuscular function, improve immunity, reduce inflammation, and reduce cancer mortality. If vitamin D is insufficient, it will also affect male and female reproductive performance, and it is one of the micronutrients that has received special attention in recent years.
According to Li Meixuan, a professor at the Department of Public Health of the National Defense Medical College, an analysis of the national nutrition and health data of the Ministry of Health found that up to 98% of people have insufficient vitamin D concentration in the blood (the standard is 33 μg/mL), especially those aged 19 to 44 years old. The lowest concentration is mainly due to the lack of awareness of vitamin D and the influence of the concept of "one white covers three ugliness", which is related to the dislike of sun exposure and the fear of tanning.
In addition, Boston University Medical Center research also found that vitamin D deficiency seems to be closely related to cancer, heart disease, diabetes, depression, and immune diseases.
2010 "American Neuroscience"A study in the Medical Journal found that after Finnish scholars tracked blood samples of 3,000 people for 30 years, vitamin D had a significant impact on the regulation of the human immune system and nervous system. People with lower levels in the blood were more likely to suffer from Parkinson's disease. The probability is 3 times higher than the average person.
I want to know if vitamin D is enough. Almost every medical institution in Taiwan has a test item "testing blood vitamin D concentration."
Xiaoting Zhang suggests supplementing foods with vitamin D, such as: .
In addition, vitamin D can also be synthesized by the human body itself. As long as it is exposed to sunlight for 10 to 15 minutes a day, the human body can synthesize enough vitamin D3 by itself. Research suggests that every day between 10 am and 3 pm, let your face, arms, legs or back be in the sun for at least 10 to 15 minutes to allow your body to synthesize enough vitamin D, but be careful to avoid sunburn.
Zhang Xiaoting reminds that, for vitamin D supplements, professional advice from a physician or pharmacist is required.
"Health 2.0" reminds you
In response to the new crown pneumonia epidemic, the CDC continues to strengthen epidemic monitoring and border control measures, and wear a mask as instructed to seek medical treatment as soon as possible, and actively inform the doctor of travel history and contact history, so as to facilitate timely Diagnosis and notification.
