Both Easy and Beneficial to Raise Vitamin D Levels
Vitamin D deficiency is a worldwide epidemic.. 14% of the world population has poor vitamin D levels. (1) One study reports that it affects 1 billion people worldwide. (2) Low vitamin D status is linked to a varied assortment of diseases. Bettering vitamin D levels is beneficial and easy…if vitamin D supplementation is taken. Aaron Chiropractic Clinic encourages our Fort Wayne chiropractic patients to check and improve as necessary their vitamin D levels. Aaron Chiropractic Clinic is confident that positive health benefits will ensure from this effort.
DISEASES LINKED TO LOW VITAMIN D LEVELS
A widespread vitamin D deficiency is associated with many diseases. The incidence of cancers like lung, pancreatic, colorectal, kidney, breast is related to low vitamin D levels. Diabetes, rickets, rheumatic arthritis, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer diseases, benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, osteomalacia, osteoporosis, and fractures in adults are as well. (1, 2, 3) Vitamin D participates importantly in calcium homeostasis, skeletal metabolism, and the function of immune, cardiovascular and reproductive systems. (2) Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo is also research-connected to vitamin D status and bone mineral density. (3) It responds well to vitamin D3 supplementation. Checking the occurrence of osteopenia/osteoporosis in these patients is the test as to the success of the treatment. (4) Aaron Chiropractic Clinic notes that this is interesting as these two conditions are also identified as being affected by vitamin D status as well. Fort Wayne chiropractic care at Aaron Chiropractic Clinic benefits Fort Wayne chiropractic patients with these conditions.
BENEFITS OF RAISING VITAMIN D LEVELS
Supplementing those who take antidepressants with vitamin D is shown to improve the antidepressive effect. Researchers propose that vitamin D may be beneficial for other such conditions beyond just depression like schizophrenia, cognitive disturbances, attention deficit disorder, and autism. (1) Giving a daily level dose of vitamin D (1000 units/kg I.P.) to post-surgical back patients for 3 weeks straight eases symptoms of neuropathic pain. (5) Aaron Chiropractic Clinic sees how these benefits are worth the effort our Fort Wayne chiropractic patients would undertake to raise low vitamin D levels.
HOW TO RAISE VITAMIN D LEVELS
A study of healthy young women revealed that consuming calcium plus vitamin D (1500 IU) by those with less than 20ng/L or 800 IU of vitamin D by those with levels of greater than 20 ng/L. Both saw their vitamin D levels increase. The rise was witnessed as early as the first month of the study for those taking calcium plus vitamin D. An interesting side observation in this study: It’s difficult to get people to do what is recommended! Only 67 of the 106 study women took the recommended supplements for the 3 months of the study!
