Vitamin D is famous for bone health, but it can do more than that. Learn more with illume-emag.<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Strengthens bones<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Vitamin D promotes the absorption of calcium in your body. Without it, the calcium that benefits your bones wouldn’t function properly. Vitamin D is needed for bone growth and to prevent bones from becoming brittle. When working with calcium, it can help prevent osteoporosis, a disease that reduces the density and quality of bone.<\/p>\n

Strengthen muscles<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A shortage of Vitamin D can lead to weak muscles, increasing the chance of falls. This is especially important for the elderly because falls are a common cause of substantial disability and death in older adults.<\/p>\n

Strengthen oral health<\/strong><\/p>\n

Because vitamin D helps our body absorb calcium, it plays a crucial role in supporting oral health, lowering the risk of tooth decay and gum disease.<\/p>\n

Treat hypertension<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Vitamin D may play a role in the treatment of\u00a0high blood pressure. According to scientists, even short-term vitamin D deficiency may directly raise BP [blood pressure] and promote target organ damage. In addition, due to the high correlation between vitamin D and hypertension, vitamin D supplementation therapy may be a new insight in the treatment of hypertension.<\/p>\n

Weight loss<\/strong><\/p>\n

Studies have shown that obese people often have low blood levels of vitamin D because vitamin D is fat-soluble, making it difficult for the body to store the vitamin.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

However, doctors aren’t sure whether obesity itself causes low vitamin D levels. But a small recent study of dieters found that adding vitamin D to a calorie-restricted diet could make it easier for overweight people with low vitamin D levels to lose weight.<\/p>\n

Battle depression<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Vitamin D plays a role in brain development and function, and low vitamin D levels have been found in patients with depression. But studies don’t show that taking vitamin D supplements will help with symptoms of depression, so it’s best to talk to your doctor about treatments that can help reduce symptoms of depression.<\/p>\n

How to get more vitamin D<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Aside from the sun, you can also get extra vitamin D through a few (albeit very few) foods, like fatty fish (including salmon, tuna, mackerel, and sardines) and mushrooms (some of which are exposed to ultraviolet (UV) light to increase vitamin D levels). Foods like milk, orange juice, yogurt, and breakfast cereals can also be fortified with vitamin D.<\/p>\n
