Vitamin D plays a crucial role in maintaining a healthy immune system. Vitamin D is also an essential nutrient for maintaining healthy bones and joints.

 

Food sources of Vitamin D are; tuna, mackerel, egg yolk and cheese. But the best source of vitamin D is sunlight. During the summer months, we expose our bodies to more sunlight, and this allows the skin to make sufficient amounts of Vitamin D. But in the winter months, we cover-up against the cold, and this prevents the skin from producing Vitamin D.

A lot of people suffer from health problems that only occur during the winter season, and scientific evidence shows that a deficiency of vitamin D in the winter months may be a reason.

One common health problem that some people have mainly in the winter season is joint aches and pain. Rheumatologists believe that such winter aches and pain is caused by poor absorption of calcium due to vitamin D deficiency.

Many health experts agree that the Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) of Vitamin D at 600 IU is too low, especially when you consider that exposing the body to sunlight on a pleasant summer’s day, will produce about 20,000 IU of Vitamin D.

Studies have shown that to maintain a healthy Vitamin D blood level of

40 ng/ ml, we may need up to 8000 IU of Vitamin D daily.

Vitamin D is not a vitamin. Instead, Vitamin D is a potent hormone in the body. Vitamin D is well known for its role in helping the intestines absorb calcium, however, what we don’t appreciate are its more critical functions. It influences over 3,000 genes in the body, far more than any other nutrient.
Vitamin D is essential for maintaining healthy blood pressure, strengthening our immune system and regulating the normal growth and development of our cells. Vitamin D also offers protection against muscle pain and weakness, autoimmune diseases, heart disease as well as some forms of cancer. Researchers have also pointed out that regardless of the type of cancer, the one thing sufferers have in common is a deficiency of vitamin D
