Vitamin D and Your Health

There are many sources today that point to a "crisis" due to the lack of vitamin D that our modern lifestyles have caused. Our exposure to sunlight, which produces vitamin D in our bodies, is at an all time low and our health is suffering. Brian Alexander on MSNBC.com says, 

"Deficiency in vitamin D, a fat-soluble supplement needed to maintain normal levels of calcium and phosphorus in the blood, does appear to be a growing problem. Some medical experts even claim we are suffering through a vitamin D deficiency "crisis." As urban societies grow and we scramble to protect ourselves from the cancer-causing rays of the sun — the primary source of the nutrient— too few of us have optimal levels of vitamin D in our bodies, some doctors say. For example, cases of rickets, sometimes in adults, are on the rise in developed countries, according to a government report."

Proper exposure to the sun and/or vitamin D supplements along side a chiropractic regimen can fend off the health problems associated with this "crisis" and help the body prevent disease.
