5 ways Vitamin D can save your life
1). DNA repair and gene regulation. It doesn’t get bigger than this! Vitamin D impacts all the bad genes (turn off!) and all the good genes (turn on!), changing your entire future. One study showed 2,000 IUs of vitamin D per day for a few months upregulated 291 different genes controlling 80 different metabolic processes.
2). Preventing osteoporosis, hip fractures, arthritis and many types of pain Studies show a sharp increase in all-cause mortality after a broken hip. And anything that stops us from exercising is harmful. We also don’t want NSAID’s that damage the lining of the gut. Vitamin D plays a big role in the aches and pains of chronic fatigue and Fibromyalgia too.
3). The immune system Vitamin D supports the “Killer cells” of the immune system, helping white blood cells kill infections. We get sick less often and get well faster. Vitamin D is also a potent immune modulator for the prevention and resolution of autoimmune diseases like MS and inflammatory bowel disease.
Vitamin D, Infection and Cancer
D plays a role in most cancers. As one example, Seventy percent of women with breast cancer are vitamin D deficient. D has been shown to prevent breast cancer cell growth and decrease the expression of cancer causing genes. It is essential after cancer treatment to track your Vitamin D twice annually and keep it at the top of the range or just slightly beyond – 75 to 100 ng/ml.
4). Keeping a healthy brain Vitamin D affects production of serotonin which affects sleep, depression, PMS, weight, mood, digestion and more. It helps prevent Parkinson’s by enhancing the transmission of electricity to your neurons and by detoxifying your cells. Dementia, Alzheimer’s, memory and information processing are all affected by low D. Vitamin D activates and deactivates enzymes in the brain and the cerebrospinal fluid involved in neurotransmitter synthesis and nerve growth.
5). Heart disease People with insufficient D have an 80 percent greater risk of narrowing of the arteries according to a long-term study at Johns Hopkins. Vitamin D is important for reducing hypertension, atherosclerotic heart disease, heart attack, and stroke. One study showed Vitamin D deficiency increased the risk of heart attack by 50 percent. Vitamin K2 plays a huge role here also. Don’t take D without K2, as the K2 prevents D from hardening the
arteries or forming calcium deposits incorrectly anywhere in the body.
Vitamin D Can Save Your Life
As a final note, D stimulates insulin production and is important for Diabetes management and for weight loss.
Bottom Line? There’s almost no mental or physical function that D does not affect.
