Both Easy and Beneficial to Raise Vitamin D Levels
Vitamin D deficiency is a worldwide epidemic.. 14 in every 100 people around the world has poor vitamin D levels. (1) One study reports that it affects 1 billion people worldwide. (2) Low vitamin D status is connected to a wide assortment of diseases. Bettering vitamin D levels is beneficial and easy…if vitamin D supplementation is followed. Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. encourages our Auburn chiropractic patients to know and improve as necessary their vitamin D levels. Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. is sure that positive health benefits will follow 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. Testing for the occurrence of osteopenia/osteoporosis in these patients is the test as to the effectiveness of the treatment. (4) Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. notes that this is interesting as these two conditions are also identified as being influenced by vitamin D status as well. Auburn chiropractic care at Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. benefits Auburn 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 propose 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 on day one through day 21 alleviates symptoms of neuropathic pain. (5) Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. sees how these benefits are worth the effort our Auburn chiropractic patients would undertake 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 saw their vitamin D levels raise. The rise 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 is difficult to get people to do what is recommended! Only 67 of the 106 study participants did what they were to do for the three months of the study!
