The Importance of Vitamin D in your Nutrition Print E-mail
By Peterson Samuel

 Knowing what your body requires is the first step to maintaining good health. There are some of us who are very conscious of the right balance of diet, exercise, vitamins, minerals etc... The rest of us stretch our bodies until we can and once it is rattled and worn out then we scamper around to stitch ourselves up, back to our old hearty selves. Well our bones, teeth, hair, skin are the parts of our body that keep us together in one piece. In order to keep the mechanics of these components of our body lubricated well they require Vitamin D.


Lack of Vitamin D causes innumerable ailments that can restrict our lifestyle and stop us in our tracks. Osteoporosis, cancer, diabetes, hypertension, chronic pains are some of the diseases that can be inflicted on us due to low levels of Vitamin D. The last thing on our minds even if we bother to get a health check up done is to get our Vitamin D levels checked. With the change in lifestyles, almost 1 in 3 persons of the earth's population, which would be approximately 6 billion people, are now deficient of Vitamin D. Has it ever crossed your mind to check your Vitamin D levels when you go for your health check ups after knowing this alarm fact?

This particular Vitamin is not difficult to infuse in our bodies and can be maintained at the required levels if only a few changes in our way of living are made. When you go shopping at your favorite supermarket you will come across an array of milk products flashing fortified with Vitamin D and even the bread you make you favorite tuna sandwich with could have Vitamin D as a supplement in it. Despite Vitamin D being available through various commodities, which we use in our daily diets, we are still not consuming enough of these elements through our food intake. An external source of Vitamin D is mandatory and the more efficient manner of obtaining this very vital vitamin.

You may ask what is this external source? Our good old trusted omni present sun! The sunlight, which is available in abundance and absolutely free of cost, is the best source of Vitamin D. A simple walk in the park at daybreak when the sunrays are not as intense but can rest soothingly on you skin is the most pleasurable way of absorbing Vitamin D. The fact that most of the population who is known to be deficient in Vitamin D are from the industrialized nations is a pointer to an obvious reason for this phenomenon. In the morning, we start off in our air-conditioned car to work and reach our offices park our cars in the basement parking emerging only to see the moon watching us on our way home. Our friend the sun is given a miss due to our lifestyles and we miss nature given antidote of Vitamin D.

If only we learned to listen to our elders and soak up some sun instead of pasting on the sunscreen or hiding under the gigantic umbrella, we would have one less problem to worry about!
