“Severity: “Based on CDC criteria, among our study patients, 74% of those had severe COVID-19 infection. The data analyses revealed that the severe disease infection was less prevalent in patients with vitamin D sufficiency (63·6% vs. 77·2% p=0·02).” Mortality: No one under the age of 40 died. In those over 40, 20% were vitamin D insufficient but they comprised of 90.3% of the deaths.”

“A cytokine storm is an excessive release of pro-inflammatory molecules that occurs during severe COVID-19 and is a common cause of death. A new study suggests that vitamin D could reduce the risk of developing a cytokine storm and decrease COVID-19 mortality.”

“The pattern may reflect real biological differences, but it could also be shaped by unmeasured training details. In addition, the cancer-specific results are less precise than the overall mortality estimate because they are based on fewer deaths.”

“A diet consisting more than 60% of energy from carbohydrates (including refined) was related to higher mortality, although not with the risk of cardiovascular disease.”

“In fact, these studies found that the amount of time spent in the sauna also affected cardiovascular-related mortalities, with a longer duration of 19 minutes or more having a more robust effect than 11 to 18 minutes on lowering mortality rate.”

“Cancer risk "We then looked at cardiovascular mortality, cancer mortality, and then everything else, kitchen sink, you know, if it's not cancer, not cardiovascular, it's group three. And we saw the same thing in all groups... It wasn't as strong in cancer.”

“Another study published a few months ago found that for 1% increment in omega-3 fatty acids (from both food and supplemental sources) in blood was associated with a 20% decreased risk in all-cause mortality.”

“For example, they had a higher need for antibiotics and other drugs and often required respiratory interventions such as oxygen and various types of ventilation. The mortality rate among COVID-19 patients was considerably higher among people with type 2 diabetes.”

“A greater inflammatory burden combined with less capacity to restrain it could therefore help explain why abdominal obesity and low vitamin D levels were associated with higher mortality. Excess body fat does not necessarily signal nutritional adequacy.”

“FTA: > The inability of older adults to identify scents is a strong predictor of death within five years. Almost 40% of those who failed a smelling test died during that period, compared to 10% of those with a healthy sense of smell. Olfactory dysfunction predicted mortality better than a diagnosis of heart failure or cancer.”
