UK researchers have called for more awareness of vitamin D deficiency in younger healthy populations.<\/strong><\/p>\n

COMMENT<\/strong><\/h2>\n

A micronutrient that has numerous important functions, vitamin D is produced naturally in the body when skin is exposed to sunlight. In recent years, however, evidence has been growing that deficiencies of it are now common worldwide.<\/p>\n

In the\u00a0United States<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Canada<\/a>, vitamin D deficiency is known to be widespread. In\u00a0Europe<\/a>\u00a0blood levels of vitamin D have been shown to be low in 50 to 70 percent of the population, with\u00a0India<\/a>\u00a0also now home to a growing epidemic of the problem. Even in Australia, a country where people typically enjoy an outdoor lifestyle with plentiful sunshine, deficiency is said to have reached\u00a0crisis<\/a>\u00a0levels.<\/p>\n

These findings have serious implications, as a lack of vitamin D has been linked to an increased risk of\u00a0diabetes<\/a>,\u00a0metabolic syndrome<\/a>, depression<\/a>, miscarriage<\/a>, schizophrenia<\/a>,\u00a0multiple sclerosis<\/a>, and many\u00a0other health problems<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Recent research has shown vitamin D supplements to be helpful in protecting against asthma attacks<\/a>, improving eczema symptoms<\/a>, improving inflammation in type-2 diabetes<\/a>, cutting migraine attacks<\/a>, increasing survival in breast cancer patients<\/a>, as well as reducing the overall risk of dying from cancer<\/a>.<\/p>\n

To read how oral sprays have been shown to be as effective as pills in increasing levels of vitamin D, see\u00a0this news story<\/a>\u00a0on our website.<\/p>\n<\/i><\/span>Read article at naturalproductsglobal.com<\/span><\/a>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
