The effect of smog on vitamin D

The alarming state of pollution in cities in Bosnia and Herzegovina is an alarm for increasing the knowledge about the harmful effects that pollution has on our bodies. We need to protect ourselves in these adverse effects, and ingesting additional vitamin D is one of the best forms of protection for the body.

Smog is smoke and fog air pollution. It consists of industrial pollutants, gases generated from cars, as well as smoke from fire. Exposure to smog can lead to several different types of health problems, due to the ozone content of the air. Smog can cause coughing and throat and lung irritation.

Vitamin D is one of the essential vitamins for the human body. It is, in fact, much more than a vitamin. It is not only important for our bones, but for our overall health. Low levels of vitamin D are linked to a decrease in immunity, which can result in not only more frequent respiratory infections, but also the onset of chronic heart and blood vessel diseases … Long periods of winter in the indoor population can cause a dramatic drop in vitamin D in the body.
