Are You Getting Enough Vitamin D?

Since you're interested in wellness, so I thought I would share this with you.

 

Vitamin D has been a hot topic in the news. Recent research studies show that vitamin D - the "sunshine vitamin" - offers a multitude of important benefits including supporting healthy heart function, immune and bone health. And surprisingly, up to 80% of Americans may have insufficient levels.

 

Here is an excerpt from webmd.com regarding Vitamin D Deficiency.

 

Symptoms and Health Risks of Vitamin D Deficiency

 

Symptoms of bone pain and muscle weakness can mean you have a vitamin D deficiency. However, for many people, the symptoms are subtle. Yet even without symptoms, too little vitamin D can pose health risks. Low blood levels of the vitamin have been associated with the following:

• Increased risk of death from cardiovascular disease
•  Cognitive impairment in older adults
• Severe asthma in children
• Cancer

Research suggests that vitamin D could play a role in the prevention and treatment of a number of different conditions, including type1 and type 2 diabetes, hypertension, glucose intolerance, and multiple sclerosis.
