Vitamin D can help you in MANY ways:
1) Bone Health: it regulates calcium metabolism and helps to prevent bone disorders like rickets, osteomalacia and osteoporosis.
2) It is a potent immune system stimulant: it is the precursor to natural antibiotics made in the body that help to fight infection. One study showed that colds and flu were virtually eliminated in a group of 100 post menopausal women who took vitamin d 2000 IU per day for one year.
3) It regulates the inflammatory process: it keeps the inflammatory process in check so that a scratch doesn't blow up to the size of a Basketball or a bought of hay fever makes you swell up like a sumo wrestler. Researchers are finding that vitamin d can help improve some inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis.
4) It regulates "apoptosis" - another word for cell death- this is one of the functions of vitamin d that researchers are now finding that vitamin d is important in cancer prevention. Cancer is unregulated cell growth. Vitamin d can regulate this process and cause cancer cells to die at a faster rate than they normally would. Researchers are finding links to low Vitamin D levels in many cancers: breast, colon and prostate among others.
