The sunshine vitamin
Vitamin D plays an important role in ensuring good health. People who are exposed to sunlight regularly have a high concentration of vitamin D, but exposure to sunlight also induces vitamin D intoxication, which can lead to serious diseases like cancer. For this reason, vitamin D supplements are recommended by medical professionals.
Biology
Vitamin D is an essential group of fat soluble vitamins responsible for boosting intestinal absorption of phosphorus, calcium, and magnesium, among other important biological responses. In humans, the main substances in this category are vitamin D, cholecystokinin, calcitriol, pantothenic acid, and vitamin K. To date, there is no conclusive evidence that shows that taking high doses of vitamin D will reduce the risk of common chronic diseases. However, experts recommend taking vitamin D supplements as a preventative measure. There is much evidence that confirms the beneficial effect of vitamin D.
Vitamin D is also produced by the skin as a defense against ultra-violet radiation. In order to optimize the absorption rates of other nutrients, most health care providers recommend that adults receive vitamin D from fortified foods like milk and fortified dairy products, as well as certain types of mushrooms. Vitamin D supplements are widely available. Health professionals believe that a daily intake of 1500 international units per person is enough to meet the body’s requirement.
Bones
Vitamin D is important for overall health, but it also has specific health effects in different areas of the body. One of its most well-known benefits is its ability to strengthen your bones. Although the evidence on this is not conclusive, vitamin D does seem to help prevent osteoporosis. It is not clear whether vitamin D contributes to maintaining healthy blood vessels and muscles, or whether it helps keep you emotionally stable in the face of stress.
Skin
Vitamin D is an essential part of healthy skin. It helps improve the production of collagen, a protein that makes up our connective tissue and plays an important role in the health of our skin. Vitamin D improves skin elasticity and the strength of the skin’s tissues, which helps prevent stretch mark formation. A diet that is low in vitamin D can contribute to excess skin cell production, which may contribute to stretch mark formation. If you don’t get enough sun exposure, you may not be getting enough vitamin D to help you maintain healthy skin.
Deficiency
Most people are moderately deficient in vitamin D. There are a few health effects associated with vitamin D deficiency that have more to do with your overall health than your appearance. Vitamin D deficiency can lead to hypertension and osteoporosis. While these conditions are not directly related to vitamin D deficiency, they are strongly linked to it. Osteoporosis, or a lack of calcium in the bones, can lead to a broken hip, a spine fracture, or even an arthritis diagnosis. In the case of osteoporosis, however, there is an increasing awareness that the main cause of the condition is vitamin D deficiency. So, more people are seeking out alternative treatments for their vitamin D deficiency and are enjoying lower rates of surgery and recovery.
