Both Easy and Beneficial to Raise Vitamin D Levels
It is a world-wide epidemic: vitamin D deficiency. 14 in every 100 people around the world has poor vitamin D levels. (1) One published report states that it affects 1 billion people worldwide. (2) Low vitamin D status is linked to a varied range of diseases. Bettering vitamin D levels is beneficial and easy…if vitamin D supplementation is taken. Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation encourages our Tonawanda chiropractic patients to know and work to raise as necessary their vitamin D levels. Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation is sure that positive health benefits will result from this effort.
DISEASES RELATED TO LOW VITAMIN D LEVELS
A rampant vitamin D deficiency is associated with many diseases. The incidence of cancers like breast, colorectal, kidney, lung, and pancreatic is associated with low vitamin D levels. Diabetes, rickets, rheumatic arthritis, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer diseases, benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, osteomalacia, osteoporosis, and fractures in adults are too. (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) Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation notes that this is interesting as these two conditions are also known to be influenced by vitamin D status as well. Tonawanda chiropractic care at Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation benefits Tonawanda chiropractic patients with these conditions.
BENEFITS OF IMPROVING VITAMIN D LEVELS
Supplementing those who take antidepressants with vitamin D is documented to improve the antidepressive effect. Researchers suggest 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) Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation sees how these benefits are worth the work our Tonawanda chiropractic patients would take on 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 more than 20 ng/L. Both witnessed their vitamin D levels raise. The elevation was seen within the first 30 days of the study for those taking calcium plus vitamin D. An interesting side finding in this study: It’s difficult to get people to do what is suggested! Only 67 of the 106 study women did what they were to do for the three months of the study! (6)
