Deep dives
COVID-19 Immune Response and Vitamin D
The early months of COVID-19 highlighted the lack of emphasis on immune support measures by America's top doctor, Dr. Fauci. Despite evidence showing the benefits of behaviors like avoiding tobacco and maintaining adequate vitamin D levels, public health messaging mainly focused on vaccines. Vitamin D deficiency was prevalent among hospitalized COVID-19 patients, yet guidance on sunlight exposure was lacking. Lack of discussion on weight management, diet, exercise, and avoiding inflammatory foods left critical immune support measures unaddressed.
