Vitamin D Support

A number of other nutrients can be helpful

such as zinc but there is one other stand

out nutrient that is often not mentioned

and that is vitamin D, our sunshine vitamin.

Natural food sources of vitamin D are few.

It is found in oily fish and eggs and fortified

foods such as breakfast cereals. But your

body does not expect to get much vitamin

D from food as it is made by the exposure

of your skin to sunlight, so at this time of

the year, your levels can be low. That is why

Public Health England recommend that all

adults and children over one should be

supplementing with vitamin D.

Vitamin D is important for your immune system. It is classed as

an immune modulator, it helps to balance your immune system.

It can bring it up the immune function if low and bring it down if

overactive. And you are either deficient in vitamin D or not. It is

such a black and white result when you take a test and it is easy

to correct a deficiency.

I cannot stress enough how important it for you to have good

levels of vitamin D. It is not only the immune benefits but research

has now shown that it has found to:

• be vital for bone health and osteoporosis

• play a major role in breast and bowel cancer prevention

• help with other conditions as diverse as type 2 diabetes,

heart disease, joint pains and arthritis, depression, dementia,

autoimmune diseases, fertility, autism, and allergies

• help with SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder).
