Increase vitamin C and minimize grains and sugar. The phagocytic cells of the immune system require high amounts of vitamin C to work properly. Glucose (sugar) and vitamin C are almost identical. Vitamin C and glucose use the same cell membrane receptors to enter the cell, in other words vitamin C and glucose compete with one another to enter the cell. High blood glucose levels mean that glucose is taking up most of the receptors sites and vitamin C is not being absorbed. The phagocytic cells of the immune system require high amounts of vitamin C to work properly. Vitamin C supplement.

Impact of Vitamin C Deficiency

Impaired wound healing
Increased oxidative damage
Increased incidence and severity of pneumonia and other infections

Impact of Vitamin C supplementation on Immune function

High doses stimulate phagocytic and T-lymphocytic activity
Antioxidant properties protect leukocytes and lymphocytes from oxidative stress.
In high doses, can help severely ill patients in intensive care recovery more quickly.

Ensure adequate vitamin D levels. A 2015 study demonstrated that vitamin D deficiency contributed to the development of acute respirator distress syndrome (ARDS) and that low vitamin D levels may predispose one to the condition. Additionally, in experimental animal models, vitamin D deficiency resulted in exaggerated alveolar inflammation, epithelial damage, and hypoxia, suggesting that vitamin D is important for optimum respiratory function. Vitamin D supplementation: 5000 IU daily for adults and 1000 IU daily for children. Additionally, Vitamin K taken with Vitamin D helps absorption. Do not take vitamin K if you are on a blood thinner. Vitamin D supplement.

Impact of Vitamin D Deficiencies

Altered gut microbiota
Reduced number of lymphocytes
Impaired immune capabilities of macrophages
Increases susceptibility of respiratory tract infections
Increased severity, morbidity and mortality of RTI
Increased risk of autoimmune diseases (e.g. Type 1 diabetes, MS, RA)
Impaired innate immunity
Altered integrity of mucosal epithelium
