Get Rid of Vitamin D Problems

By Stephen Gerrard

A vitamin D deficiency is a serious problem that can lead to weakness in bones, joint pain, and fatigue. For old people this is very serious as they are more prone to break a bone such as the hip.

Not only that, but a deficiency will help the development of hypertension of high amounts of sugar in the blood, in turn increasing the risks of having heart problems and diabetes.

Are elderly people the only ones affected? No, as you can see everyone can have diabetes and heart problems. But another group that are at higher risk are small children who don't get enough levels of this vitamin.

Lack of good levels of vitamin D, can lead to bone problems such as rickets (bowed legs), but also will make a child candidate to suffer from diabetes, and obesity problems. In many times it is not their fault.

We see it everywhere today: kids that spend too much time in front of the TV and computer and almost never get out there. Outside, the Sun is the giver of vitamin D! Yes, sunlight allows the production of vitamin D, but instead parents pour sunscreen on their kids.

Sunlight is NEEDED to get healthy levels of vitamin D in our bodies. However a lot of stress has been put on the harmful effects of the Sun.

Specialists recommend getting 15 minutes of sunlight each day to improve our health levels. Of course you have to take this responsibly. Do not wear sunscreen as it will hinder the action of sunlight. Supplements are available but they can easily lead to toxicity problems.

The idea is that we get sunlight with moderation, and smartly. Sunlight in excess - like many things - will be harmful.

Doctors in charge of vitamin deficiencies will always recommend that you get your vitamins through natural ways. As a matter of fact, our bodies are designed to do just that! So go out there and get some vitamin D in your life! - 17269
