When we discuss about Vitamins the Vitamin D is most discussion point. Vitamin D is a crucial vitamin that is soluble in fat. For the Growth of Human bone Vitamin D is essential and it ensures increased flow of calcium into your bloodstream by promoting the process of its absorption from the consumed food. The Rickets and osteoporosis are mostly result of poor concentration of Vitamin D. Recent Study Proves that Vitamin D has important role in maintaining the immunity of your system. In human Body, deficiency of vitamin D gives rise to a number of health problems including cardiac disorders, arthritis, hypertension, diabetes and even cancer.
30 Minutes of Daily meeting with Sun and mild sunlight helps to synthesize Vitamin D in body. Along with mild Sunlight Dietary sources is also important for synthesizing Vitamin D. Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that is naturally present in very few foods, we can include milk, cod liver oils, fish, meat, fortified dairy and food products for Vitamin D.

The effective method of measuring Vitamin D is blood test. By this Way, we can diagnose the deficiency of vitamin D. Often I have seen and most of study also shows that the following 6 symptoms of Vitamin D deficiency:
1.Asthma & asthma attacks
Uses of Vitamin D Supplements decrease Distraction, discomforts and severity that are mainly associated with asthma. It is also shown enough reduction in the occurrence of asthma attacks.
2.Cancer
Such as prostate cancer, breast cancer and colon cancer are result lack of vitamin D & its deficiency. Intake of vitamin D supplements control the growth and development of these type of cancer.
3.Cardiovascular disease
Cardiovascular ailments are more widespread among people, who inclined from deficiency of vitamin D. Cardiac discomfort patients have responded well to vitamin D treatment.
4.Depression and Mental illness or disorder
According to studies, Lack of Vitamin D or deficiency is basic reason of Depression and various other psychiatric disorders. It is extremely important for expecting mothers to maintain a sufficient level of vitamin D in their body, during the gestation period to reduce the risk of delayed brain development and other mental ailments in the new born babies.
5.Influenza
Recent research and studies show vitamin D roles acts as a guard against the attack of several number of respiratory infections which are widespread in children. Hence, the result of deficiency is pause in Development of various respiratory tract infections and diseases.
6.Periodontal disorders
Lack of vitamin D may also result in the formation of numerous harmful bacteria in your mouth and may give rise to several oral discomforts in form of painful gum inflammation, bleeding and loss of tooth. Vitamin D aids in the formation of cathelicidins and defensins, which are effective in maintaining the overall oral health.
Thus we can state that Vitamin D is most important for Human body and Development. We have to treat it as well as possible if we tend to suffer from vitamin D deficiency. In almost case of such type deficiency can also liable for major disease. Expert and Researcher have proved several times that prevention is better than precautions. Here with this article I suggest that everyone who belongs from India for January month should be exposure to sunlight for an hour daily from the date of January 13 to January 31 of every year in India. How much do you need?
There has been some controversy over the amount of vitamin D needed for healthy functioning. Recent research indicates that you need more vitamin D than was once thought. Normal blood serum levels range from 50 to 100 micrograms per deciliter. Depending on your blood level, your vitamin D intake needs may be increased.
This article has only an informative purpose and is not intended to replace a professional guidance. The use of vitamins and supplements can offer you great results, but before using any product, we strongly recommend that you visit a Nutritionist, Doctor, or another specialist for an analysis and follow-up or contact us with your concern.
