Vitamin-D facts
Vitamin-D facts are at last coming to light. Recent research shows that over 80% of people are deficient in this important Vitamin. Why is this so important? Latest scientific research believes every tissue and cell in our body needs this important vitamin. Research shows that your cells and tissues have vitain D receptors and also goes on to suggest these cells need this vitamin as it is important to their welfare. Another important factor, it is suggested this vitamin is responsible for the regulation of over 2000 genes in our body. Scientists now believe that vitamin-D provides a wide range of functions relating to the health of our body including our weight. This vitamin comes in several different forms but the important one appears to be be D3. The list of reported benefits are too long to list here but the one I wish to mention is WEIGHT MANAGEMENT because this important vitamin involves carbohydrate and also fat metabolism. Another factor is it can effect mood and feelings of well being. This is important because some of us resort to food to make us feel happy thereby creating over weight and in some cases obesity. Wouldn't it be good if we could cut back on our unnecessary food like sugars without feeling deprived or just knowing we don't need it? (Sugars are a major source of weight gain) Acquiring adequate amounts of this important vitamin can obviously have a profound affect on our well being as well as assisting with our weight loss. A word of warning! You can overdose on this vitamin but it is perfectly safe in reasonable amounts.
