Lack of Vitamin D Linked to Parkinson’s Disease
This is interesting…
There is currently a lot of discussion about vitamin D, the lack of it in humans and the affects it has on our bodies and health. Not long ago, I wrote an article referencing the lack of vitamin D and the problems it causes:
Researchers Say Tanning Beds are as Addictive as Drugs. Really? You Lie!
The newest information available is now linking low levels of vitamin D to the development of Parkinson’s disease.
A study of 3000 people was done and the results are pretty shocking. The people in the study that showed the lowest levels of vitamin D, had a 3 times greater chance of developing Parkinson’s disease. Parkinson’s affects the brain, causing tremors and slower bodily movements. If vitamin D levels are sufficient in the body, it actually protects the nerves that cause those problems. This study was conducted over 30 years by Finland’s National Institute for Health and Welfare.
We get vitamin D from food, supplements and sunshine. When a person is outside, in the sun, our bodies absorb and convert the UVB rays into vitamin D. Other than through food, sunshine is one of the best and most natural ways of maintaining a good vitamin D level.
What happens if you live somewhere that is not sunny on a regular basis? Well, you can also get the vitamin D benefits from UVB light treatment. If you have reptiles, you probably know what I am talking about. Where is UVB light treatment available? The most common method is tanning salons (make sure they are using UVB bulbs). Unfortunately, the government has just slapped a 10% tax on tanning and highly discourages and demonize it. They also highly encourage everyone slathering on tons of sunscreen every single day that they may be exposed to sunshine. Heck, they even tell you to put it on when its cloudy or overcast! Kinda makes you wonder what their motives are, doesn’t it?
To recap: A lack of vitamin D causes all kind of deadly problems. So, why does our government want us to stay away from vitamin D? What is my point? Find your own facts. Many other countries are doing studies that completely discredit what we are told in the United States.
