so today we’re gonna talk about the Black Plague and the somewhat recent discovery about the true nature of this pandemic which is actually quite interesting because it relates to nutrition so this pandemic roughly occurred in the year 1348 and don’t quote me it’s right around this period of time it could happen a little bit before or a little bit after but there are between 70 to 200 million people who died in that pandemic and the discovery that they made was in an unmarked grave in the north part of London where they dug up these skeletons and they study these skeletons and they found a good handful of these skeletons had rickets I don’t know if you know much about rickets but all you need to know is that is a vitamin D deficiency they also found they had very bad teeth which is also a vitamin D deficiency they found they were anemic based on the bone composition they also found a lot of injuries as if these people were in a war and right around that time there was a war in fact there was a war for a hundred years so you have the combination of malnutrition and a war that would create a perfect storm for a weakened immune system I mean think about it if a child has rickets and there’s a lot of kids that have rickets the parents are also going to have a vitamin D deficiency because rickets is a severe vitamin D deficiency you can imagine if you’re that low in vitamin D you’re not going to have a good immune system at all because the vitamin D deficiency will create a susceptibility to infection and also will lower the number of white blood cells that’s your army that fights off the infection also it creates a weakness within the strength of your white blood cells they’re not able to create generate the weaponry to defend themselves so you send in the battle without the weapons and they all get killed you also will have less control over inflammation especially in now this also relates to a pandemic that occurred in 1918 called the Spanish flu in which over I think 50 to a hundred million people died now what was interesting about this pandemic versus this one there’s some similarities this one also peaked in the dead of winter in January which is the time of the year where you had the least amount of vitamin D in the body also you had a war World War 1 and in that war you had a huge shift in what people ate they had to preserve foods and they started canning foods and boxing foods and anytime you do that you start dropping the nutritional levels big-time so you really didn’t have a lot of fresh nutrient-dense foods especially the soldiers and because this was a world war involving many different countries you had many more people dying and you also had a lot of malnutrition all over the globe so my point about this pandemic was this also was related to malnutrition I mean take a look at COVID-19 the people that are dying are older and people with a weakened immune system that’s what we should be focusing on just as much as we’re in the mask washing your hands so if you wanted more information about how to boost a healthy immune system check this video out right here
