Anti-Aging Vitamin D

Many people take multi-vitamins every day. But do they work? The pharmaceutical industry would like you to believe that they do. No matter what, it is controversial. The truth of the matter is that 1 billion people don't get enough vitamin D, which is critical to aging and longevity.

You can ask your doctor to give you a simple blood test called, 25-hydroxy vitamin D test.  It can tell you how deficient you might be in vitamin D; 1 billion people don't get enough vitamin D, and you could be one of them.

A study has linked vitamin D deficiency with an increased risk for cancer and autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis MS, and lupus, and even heart diseases. According to researchers, mapping vitamin D receptors binding throughout the human genome, vitamin D deficiency is a major environmental factor responsible for the increasing the risk of developing diseases and disorders that may adversely affect aging and longevity.

The cause of deficiency is a combination of not getting enough exposure to the sun and not having enough vitamin D in their diets. 

Change your diet to increase your level of vitamin D. Eat more oily fish, such as salmon, mackerel and tuna, egg yolks and mushrooms, as well as cereal and milk fortified with vitamin D. Of course, exposure to the sun (in the morning or late afternoon) may give you 20,000 IUs of vitamin D. Vitamin D must be processed by the liver and kidneys into a form (calcitriol) that can attach to vitamin D receptors in most of the body's cells. Your body stores one form of previtamin D, called dehydrocholesterol, in the skin. When your skin absorbs sunlight, it is transformed into previtamin D3 (cholecalciferol). 

Vitamin D can lift moods and strengthen bones -- they are critical to the elderly. Advancement in age may make an individual become easily depressed, especially when confronted with many life challenges and health issues. Brittle bones are conducive to falls, one of the many causes of death among the elderly.

To spend the rest of your golden years in good health with fewer aches and pains, take a walk in the late morning or in the early evening to get as such sunshine as possible to enhance your vitamin D intake.
