The Power of Vitamin D

Posted 10-20-2009 1:40 am by
You know taking your vitamins is important – especially if you have an unbalanced diet.  Gaining more and more recognition by medical and naturopathic professionals is Vitamin D – the vitamin necessary to build strong muscles and absorb calcium that has long been taken to prevent osteoporosis.

But this vitamin packs more punch than just harboring the ability to prevent bone loss – it is actually key in boosting the immune system and helping the body fight depression and headaches. The vitamin is also acknowledged for playing a role in preventing falls among older people, with a study by the British Medical Journal showing that vitamin D in doses of at least 700 to 1,000 IUs per day could reduce falls by 19 percent in people aged 65 years and older.

Some of the distinct major benefits of Vitamin D include:

• Maintenance of the body’s calcium balance
• Aids Cell Differentiation (which may prevent diseases such as cancer)
• Boosts immunity
• May prevent diabetes, and improves blood sugar control and prevents serious complications associated with diabetes
• May prevent heart disease in that the vitamin helps regulate blood pressure

So the question you have to ask yourself today is, “Have you taken your Vitamin D today?”
