Vitamin A helps in Resistance to Disease and Infection
Vitamin A helps to maintain the epithelial cells both
internally (in your lungs, gastrointestinal tract and urinary system) and
externally (in your skin, mucous membranes and eyes) to protect your body from
infection and disease. Without this important first line of cellular defenders,
your body would have little protection against viruses, bacteria and other
pathogens.
Vitamin A also helps to protect your body from diseases and
infections by enhancing white blood cell and antibody creation to deal with any
harmful microorganisms. The risk of viral infections like pneumonia, flu and
the common cold in particular is said to increase when there is an even mild deficiency
in vitamin A.
