[freeicons] Vitamin D can play a role in everything from strong bones to fighting off the flu to preventing heart disease.* Good thing your body naturally makes the stuff! But despite free, easy access, many people still face vitamin D deficiency. Read on to learn the facts about getting your daily D: Vitamin D works hard to keep you healthy. Most people know that vitamin D and calcium are necessities for strong bones and teeth. But the medical community is still working to understand all the other important roles vitamin D plays in your health. So far, vitamin D has been linked to some impressive benefits: maintaining your immune system to help fight infection and autoimmune issues, optimal muscle function, a healthy heart and circulatory system, strong lungs, and brain development.* (That’s quite a list!) Your sunny mood and weight loss efforts may depend on vitamin D.* To understand how vitamin D can help with your mood and appetite, it helps to know vitamin D isn’t actually a vitamin at all – it’s a hormone! And we all know how hormone imbalances can wreak havoc with the way you think, feel, and eat. Research shows vitamin D can help improve the symptoms of depression and may also boost weight loss by improving mood and controlling your appetite.* And don’t forget about your bones, heart, and immune system! Vitamin D is one of your body’s first lines of defense against infection.* (One study showed that schoolkids who took vitamin D were less likely to catch the flu!*) It’s also crucial to maintaining your bone density and heart health.* With so many amazing gifts to offer, you can understand why it’s so important to get enough vitamin D. Vitamin D comes free with sunlight. (And spending 20 minutes a day in the sun doesn’t sound like such a big challenge…) Just 20-30 minutes of direct sun exposure on sunscreen-free skin is all it takes for your body to make enough vitamin D to maintain your immunity, arteries, bones, mood, and much more! However, between gray winter days, air pollution, city living, and jobs that increasingly keep us indoors during the day, many people still struggle to get the sun exposure they need to make adequate vitamin D all year long. If you don’t get your vitamin D from spending time in the sun, you have to get it through your diet. Ideally, only about 10% of your daily D should come from what you eat. In reality, many folks depend on their food to provide a much bigger portion. That means you need plenty of vitamin D-rich foods like fatty fish, beef liver, mushrooms, cheese and other dairy, and egg yolks. If you’re thinking, “Oh, yuck!” or “I can’t eat that – it ties my gut in knots!” you’re not alone. When food sensitivities or preferences keep you from getting the vitamin D you need, Vitamin D Plus can help fill in the blanks. If your hometown, work demands, or dietary limitations prevent you from getting enough vitamin D, supplementation may be the answer. Vitamin D Plus offers a powerful dose of vitamin D3, plus vitamin K, which is essential to absorption of D. Vitamin D Plus is also third-party tested to be certain of its quality and efficacy. Vitamin D Plus is a superior, trustworthy source of vitamins D and K that can meet your nutrient needs and get your body back to normal.* It’s probably not a coincidence that almost every type of cell in your body has receptors for vitamin D! You don’t have to be a medical expert to grasp the significance of how ready your body is to make and use this daily essential. If you’re experiencing symptoms of vitamin D deficiency like fatigue, aches and pains, or bone and muscle weakness, it’s time to find out more. It’s always best to get your vitamin D as nature intended: with regular time in the sunlight and a balanced, healthy diet. But if you suspect low-D levels, ask your doctor to test and consider adding Vitamin D Plus to your day.
