Vitamin D and Menopause Your Prevention Ally

From About.com
May 20, 2009 | About.com: Menopause
Vitamin D intake is especially important as you reach menopause to maintain optimal health. It plays a large role in disease prevention associated with aging, as well as both physical and mental health. Half of all adults are deficient in Vitamin D and are not benefiting from it.
Vitamin D is known as a helper for absorbing calcium and building bones, but it is involved in many other processes that protect you from disease and health problems.
A few of the conditions that Vitamin D can help treat and/or prevent are osteoporosis, certain cancers, depression, diabetes, cardiovascular disease and hypertension. Some others are muscle weakness, multiple sclerosis, osteoarthritis, autoimmune disease and chronic pain.
BodyLogicMD's perspective: Good nutrition, Vitamin D supplements, and sunlight are an important part of disease treatment and prevention, as well as daily physical and mental health. Contact a BodyLogicMD affilliated physician today to discuss the difference you can feel.
