According to study data, low levels of vitamin D increase the risk of inflammation and lung disease. The lungs are surrounded by a very thin network of tissues that facilitate the exchange of air from the lungs into the blood.

This layer is so thin that it can not be seen not only with the naked eye but also in the scanner.

This important layer of the lungs is the target of many diseases and problems such as inflammation or edema.

Some of the diseases that can affect this part of the lung are pneumonia, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, and many others. If this layer is torn or altered, it immediately affects the function of this respiratory organ.

The damage is irreversible, doctors say.

According to them, identifying risk factors can be a very good preventive step.

The findings of some recent studies say that vitamin D deficiency may be a risk factor in the onset of some of the aforementioned diseases.

Vitamin D is very important against inflammation and for strong immunity.

This vitamin has an inhibitory role for many diseases affecting the lungs, including asthma.

Sources of vitamin D

Man gets most of his vitamin D through sunlight. When these rays, especially those of noon, come in contact with the skin, they stimulate the production of vitamin D.

People living in places with warm climates with lots of sun benefit more.

Vitamin D can also be obtained through certain foods. These are fortified or fortified foods such as milk and whole grains or fish such as salmon, tuna and mackerel.

Vitamin D is also found in raw fish and cod oil, which can be found as a supplement at the pharmacy./AW/
