“Vitamin D…Wonder
vitamin”
Day 202)
We
are living in an age where information is at our finger tips. With that being
said it is a shame that we are not more informed about the natural supplements
that are available to us that will help us avoid symptoms that may make us
dependent on traditional medication. One
of those supplements is vitamin D. What do we know about vitamin D? We know
that the best way to obtain vitamin D is from the sun, however because of fear
of sun damage most Americans stay out of the sun causing an epidemic of vitamin
deficient adults and children. Did you also know that vitamin D also promotes
the absorption of calcium in the gut and it also helps maintains adequate serum
calcium and phosphate concentrations to enable normal mineralization of bone?
A
study at the University of Minnesota showed that people with higher levels of
vitamin D lost more weight than those who were vitamin D deficient. Other
studies have also shown that leptin which is the hormone that triggers the “full”
sensation in the brain is boosted by vitamin D. Due to the fact that there are
few foods that are rich in vitamin D many experts recommend that we take a
daily dose of vitamin D. Ask your doctor about a simple blood test to determine
if you are vitamin deficient.
