Vitamin D Intake Helps Boost Health Levels

Vitamin D Intake Helps Boost Health Levels

Our mighty sun is responsible with feeding our skin and bones with the precious vitamin D that is an indispensable compound for keeping our health levels high. Vitamind D increases the skin’s resistance to UV factors, enlightens our face, makes our tissues more flexible and offers us a mood boost.

According to a recently published study, people in Britain should increase their Vitamin D intake with supplements, as there is a lack of bright sunshine all over the UK so the natural provider fails to feed us with the precious and indispensable vitamin D.

The Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition, an independent advisory body to the government recommended the supplement intake after performing large studies on the links between vitamin D levels and a variety of health problems such as muscoskeletal health, heart disease, cancer, diabetes and multiple sclerosis. It seems that a lack of the natural supplement can come with dramatic consequences for our health so we are advised to take into account a minimum necessary of Vitamin D in order to keep our bodies working at full power.

Unfortunately, the mix between a northern latitude with stormy weather means that millions of citizens are deprived of the precious vitamin D or the sunshine vitamin, as it is made by the skin during exposure to UV light.

According to recent analysis, more than one in five people have extremely low levels of Vitamin D, which is essential in keeping teeth and bones healthy. The previous general assumption was that adults and children altogether were able to make all the vitamin D they needed from the natural beams of sunlight and dietary or supplementary intake were not necessary. The times we are living don’t allow us to rely on sunshine in order to meet all the Vitamin D necessities.

The general suggestion is that people who live in areas nearly untouched by the sunshine should take into account a supplementary intake of Vitamin D. For instance, the action of sunlight on the skin in the UK is highly irregular, and that means the natural Vitamin D intake is variable as well. Our diets must be improved with a higher Vitamin D intake in order to avoid health issues.

Poor Vitamin D assimilation leads to rickets in children and in adults can lead to osteomalacia, further causing weakening in the individual’s bones. An alternative to the natural intake of Vitamin D could be oily fish and eggs, which are extremely rich in the compound. It is highly important for us to know that Vitamin D intake helps boost health levels and we are advised not to ignore that, as the consequences we could bare are nevertheless dramatic. Travel in areas with lots of sunshine, eat healthy and stay healthy with Vitamin D.
