Having too little Vitamin D may not have any outwardly obvious signs. Dr Joseph Mercola, an osteopathic physician, board certified in family medicine and New York Times best selling author, is passionate about empowering people to take control of their health using solely natural solutions, reports that Vitamin D impacts an incredible array of support for systems and functions in your body.  Since healthy levels of Vitamin D protect and promote so many of your body’s functions, a deficiency many mean your body lacks the tools it needs to maintain optimal health.

Who is Vitamin D deficient?  It is estimated up to 85% of the world population is deficient.  And the potential for deficiency increases as we age, are overweight, pregnant, diabetic and dark skinned.

When are you Vitamin D deficient?  During the long grey winter months especially in northern latitudes, you may need Vitamin D.  However, even in sunnier climates, many simply get very little daily sun / uvb light necessary to produce essential Vitamin d naturally. 

Are you Vitamin D deficient? Get your Vitamin D checked today says Carole Baggerly, a breast cancer survivor and founder of Grass Roots Health, a non-profit organization comprised of a consortium of scientists, institutions and individuals committed to solving the worldwide Vitamin D deficiency epidemic. 

What are the 3 ways for adults to insure adequate levels of Vitamin D? The Vitamin D Council recommends: regulary receive midday sun exposure for about 10-15 minutes in late spring through earl fall, exposing as much skin as possible, but never burning. regularly use a tanning bed in colder months, (avoid burning) and take 5,000 IUs of Vitamin D daily, for 2-3 months, then obtain a 25-hydroxy Vitamin D test.

The "Sunshine Vitamin" Facts: 

Research on Vitamin D, sometimes referred to as the "Sunshine Vitamin" has proven conclusively that you are designed to interact with sunlight, just as you are designed to breath air, drink water and eat food. It's just a matter of time before dermatology and chemical sunscreen manufacturers are exposed for overstating the risks of UV - falsely suggesting that risks associated with repeated sunburn are also related to regular, non-burning exposure. 

That convenient omission has skyrocketed chemical sunscreen sales, turning a sunburn-prevention product into a daily over-used product.  This belief has contributed to Vitamin D deficiency in over 77% of Americans according to government data.

In case you have doubts, consider the 1500 people who die in this country every day from Vitamin D deficient related illness i.e. breast cancer, testicular, colon, cancer etc., while only 1500 die every year from skin cancer. Which group do you want to be in?
 

Take control of your health!  Welcome the sun back into your life and make Vitamin D naturally.  Dr Joseph Mercola reminds us, "during this time of year many of us simply do not live in sunny climates; therefore, your Vitamin D levels will drop up to 50%. Indoor tanning beds provide one of the best sources of assisting your body in safely producing your essential Vitamin D."  Be Healthy...Tan at Home!
