When Diddi and I had our walk yesterday, we felt as if our batteries were on recharge and believed spring had finally arrived, only to be disappointed by another rainy day today. This has reminded me of the importance of vitamins to maintain our overall health and wellbeing and that I could probably do with some vitamin D to see me through the back end of a very long wet winter.
Why is Vitamin D so important?
Vitamin D is required for the absorption and utilization of calcium and phosphorus.
Yes, so what does that mean ?
It helps to regulate and improve our mood, some vitamin can help in additional to boosting our immune system at the same time. It is thought to help those suffering from seasonal affective disorder (SAD).
It helps to support our healthy ageing. Reduces the risk of osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, hypocalcaemia, diabetes and cardiovascular disease. and is necessary for thyroid function and blood clotting
If we have low levels of Vitamin D can see us experience an increased sensitivity to pain, in both muscle and bone pain.
It is necessary for growth, especially for teeth, bones. Recent years have sadly seeing an increase in cases of juvenile rickets.
You may suffer with intestinal disorders and diarrhoea or find yourself suffering with insomnia.
So where can we get some Vitamin D other than the all-important dose of Sunshine. Dairy products, milk and butter. Eggs, Fish oils, Liver, Fish oils, Salmon, Tuna and Sardines are all good natural sources that can support.
