Traditional spring vitamin deficiency, when the body lacks one or more vitamins, can complicate the course of COVID-19, and in addition, slow down the recovery process after an illness.
As noted by physician Lyudmila Lapa, in this state, the body becomes more vulnerable to infections, including such dangerous ones as coronavirus. The medical specialist explained that the COVID-19 virus itself has a devastating effect on the lungs, heart, joints. If a person also has a lack of vitamins, then it will be even harder for him to get out of the state of coronavirus.
“In the spring, vitamin deficiency is a lack of vitamins of groups C, B and D. Their deficiency worsens the general condition of the body. If people have been ill with covid, then vitamin deficiency will only aggravate the recovery process,”the doctor quotes radio Sputnik.
In order to avoid the double negative effect of vitamin deficiency and COVID-19, the specialist recommends taking tests for the level of vitamins in the body and making up for their deficiency. First of all, this concerns the B vitamins, which support the nervous system, since it controls the body as a whole.
