Zinc deficiency in the blood may increase the risk of coronavirus

Zinc deficiency in the blood may increase the risk of coronavirus, research reveals 

In patients with high levels of zink, less inflammatory cells like interleukin-6 are found in the body even when the coronavirus is more infected.

In the wake of Coronavirus, the process of presenting many studies and arguments is going on. Due to this epidemic, people are being discussed from the very beginning of strengthening their immune system. The World Health Organization has also suggested taking nutritious food to fight the virus. Now, according to another new study on coronavirus, due to the low amount of zinc in the blood, it is being claimed to pose a big risk. At a recent online conference of the European Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases on Covid-19, the European Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases, the team of researchers has presented a big argument on the coronavirus. The team said that due to the reduced amount of zinc in the blood, Kovid-19 increases the risk of death.

Amount of zinc present in plasma

According to research, it has been analyzed that zinc present in cells prevents certain properties of corona voice from growing. In the investigation, scientists found that the amount of zinc present in the plasma may have an effect on the SARS-COV-2 virus. The team carried out this study on 611 patients recovering from Corona between 15 March and 30 April at a regional university hospital in Barcelona, ​​Spain. All these patients are around 63 years of age.

Low inflammatory cells like interleukin-6

The team assessed the effect of zinc on these patients through computer models and statistical analysis, including samples of zinc content in plasma, comorbidity, lab studies, and several serious cases of Kovid-19. At the end of the study, the team came to the conclusion that the amount of zinc in 249 patients was found to be 61 micrograms per dl. In patients with high levels of zinc, less inflammatory cells like interleukin-6 are found in the body even when the coronavirus is more infected.

Helpful in fighting Kovid-19

On this basis, it was concluded that patients with zinc content in plasma less than 50 mcg/dl have a higher risk of death as compared to patients with 50 mcg/dl in plasma and above. Therefore, the team has suggested including zinc-rich foods such as walnuts, whole grains, dairy products, and other healthy things in the food which will be helpful in fighting Kovid-19.
