Vitamin D - You're Probably Deficient, And What It Means For Long Term Health

Hey, Health Stoppers!

Vitamin D, the precious 'sunshine vitamin', is not as easy to obtain as its name suggests. Besides the fact that many of us don't spend enough time in the sun to accumulate an adequate level of Vitamin D, living at our specific location in relation to the equator puts us as a huge disadvantage. That's right. Living in New Jersey means you have access to less Vitamin D, overall. Don't let that change your opinion of the beautiful Garden State! But be in the know - your daily walk might not be enough to prevent a Vitamin D deficiency, specifically in these dark winter months!

The most common symptoms of Vitamin D deficiency include: Neurological symptoms such as anxiety, depression and schizophrenia Fatigue, sleep changes Weak and aching bones and muscles Impaired immune system; frequent coughs, colds and infections Pale skin and dark circles under the eyes Loss of appetite Excessive sweating

A long term Vitamin D deficiency can put you at risk for the following ailments: Impaired neurological function Circulatory and heart issues Respiratory issues, such as asthma Muscle aches and weakness Rickets and Osteoporosis Crohn's Disease Multiple Sclerosis Rheumatoid Arthritis Cancer Influenza Tuberculosis

Vitamin D Is Nothing To Sneeze At! Make sure to get your Vitamin D levels tested by your doctor to see where your Vitamin D levels are! Protect your, and your family's health; take Vitamin D everyday! Ask us for questions regarding recommendations and dosage :)
