Research reveals that for years science has known that vitamin D deficiency promotes acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Even before COVID hit the scene.

A recent publication states that 90% of COVID deaths could be prevented if vitamin D deficiency was addressed.

COVID-19 is caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. The elderly are the main age group at risk for severe course of infection, cytokine storm, and death.

Science continues to come out and support what years of science has already shown, vitamins, nutrition, and many other lifestyle factors play key roles in the anti-viral immune response and overall immune health.

If you fear COVID, the most important thing to do is to clean up your diet and nutrition. By doing so, you optimize your immune system, specifically the anti-viral capacity.

Despite the mainstream media's chronic refusal to admit that nutrition and many vitamins are key to immune health, the research cannot be denied. If you strip away all financial interests, the best defense is a healthy lifestyle, which includes healthy nutrition.
