It is also often known as the sunshine vitamin and functions as a hair medication. Other natural sources of vitamin D include fish, fortified cereals and orange juice.

Women more likely to have smell, taste problems post Covid

New study

According to a new study women are less likely to recover their sense of smell and taste after Covid-19 compared to men.

Abrupt loss of smell and taste

Researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) spoke to a patient who talked about their abrupt loss of smell and taste, after contracting Covid.

Not just in women

Besides women, patients with greater initial severity of smell loss and those with nasal congestion were also less likely to recover their sense of smell.

Common complaints

The research, published by The BMJ, showed that smell and taste loss are common complaints among patients with Covid, with an estimated 50% of patients reporting these symptoms.

• Have butter in breakfast
You can start consuming one tablespoon of butter in breakfast every day. This Indian super food is high in vitamins A, K, and E, as well as Omega-3 and Omega-9 vital fatty acids. Butter can help the immune system, moisturize the skin and decrease hair loss.

Apart from these, avoid foods that are very salty or spicy. Avoiding smoking and drinking immediately after COVID-19 can also enhance its side effects, one of which is hair fall.
