Vitamin D: The Crucial Nutrient You Didn’t Know You Needed
If you’re not paying attention to your vitamin D levels, it’s time to start. Recent studies have shown that vitamin D is an essential nutrient that directly correlates to mortality rates and the progression of metabolic diseases, cancer, and even respiratory illness. Here are three reasons to start monitoring your vitamin D levels closely.
1. Immune System Boost
Vitamin D is crucial for maintaining the immune system. People with low vitamin D levels are more susceptible to infections and respiratory illnesses, including COVID-19. One study showed that people with a vitamin D level as low as 15 are at an increased risk of experiencing severe COVID symptoms. Additionally, research has shown that low vitamin D levels correlate with a higher prevalence of all types of cancer.
2. Hormonal Health
Vitamin D plays a crucial role in hormonal health. Low vitamin D levels are directly related to low estradiol levels, which can cause fertility issues in women and menopausal symptoms. Maintaining healthy vitamin D levels is essential for women trying to get pregnant. For women going through menopause, maintaining healthy levels of vitamin D can alleviate some of the symptoms.
3. Metabolic Health
Vitamin D levels are essential for overall metabolic health. Bringing vitamin D levels up has been shown to slow the progression of type 2 diabetes. Elevated vitamin D levels make weight loss and exercise more effective, so keeping an eye on levels is crucial if you’re working on your metabolic health.
Knowing why vitamin D is crucial, you might wonder how to increase your levels. While getting out in the sun can help, supplementation is often necessary. Most people need at least 1000 IUs of vitamin D per day to maintain healthy levels. Talk to your doctor about checking your vitamin D levels and finding a supplement that’s right for you.
Overall, vitamin D is a critical nutrient that should not be overlooked. With its role in immune system function, hormonal health, and metabolic health, it’s clear that maintaining healthy levels should be a top priority. Don’t wait – start paying attention to your vitamin D levels today.
