Hi, Matt Clark here...
There is a lot of misinformation about vitamin D out there. After
discussing vitamin D and vitamin D deficiency with experts from
around the world in areas such as nutrition, bioidentical hormones,
medical weight loss, and medicine, I have gathered some profound
information that will help you make the right decision about
vitamin D.
Vitamin D deficiency may go undetected in the beginning. Even if
you are feeling perfectly fine, you might be low on vitamin D.
Eating a modern diet and living a modern lifestyle mean you are
likely low on the critical "sunshine vitamin".
You probably know that vitamin D is good for you and you should try
to get it through your diet. But, do you know WHY you need it? Do
you know how to know if you are low on vitamin D? Well, take a look
at this quick list of common symptoms of vitamin D deficiency and
think about whether or not any match what you are experiencing on a
daily or weekly basis:
* Trouble sleeping
* Mild depression
* Irritability
* Pain in muscles and bones
* Appetite loss
* Diarrhea
* Impaired vision
* Fatigue
If you think you might be experiencing any of those, then keep
reading to find out if low vitamin D might be the issue.
What Causes Vitamin D Deficiency?
According to new research, seventy-five percent of U.S. teens and
adults are deficient in vitamin D[1]. This is thought to be mainly
due to a diet lacking in vitamin D-rich foods and a lifestyle of
indoor work and play. But, that's not all. There are a whole host
of other reasons you might be deficient in vitamin D. Here is a
list of reasons why you might be deficient:
* Being overweight
* Eating a vegetarian diet
* Living in an area that doesn't get enough sun year around to
produce all the vitamin D you need
* Dark skin
* Consuming a lacking in foods such as animal meat, fish liver oils,
egg yolks, and fortified dairy and grain products
* Having kidneys that can't convert vitamin D into the active form
* Being older than 50
* Having a digestive disorder like Celiac Disease
* Any of the above can put you at risk for being vitamin D
deficient.
* Just being older than 50 can mean you might be vitamin D
deficient.
Older adults are at increased risk of developing vitamin D
insufficiency in part because, as they age, skin cannot synthesize
vitamin D as efficiently, they are likely to spend more time
indoors, and they may have inadequate intakes of the vitamin [2].
Why would it matter if you are vitamin D deficient? You are about
to find out...
