Vitamin D - The Sunshine Vitamin -  Reference Guide for Daily Nutrition

Better metabolism, better digestion, and an in-sync melody of the vitamins and minerals within can help the dieter reach their weight loss goals a bit quicker and safer.   Keep in mind that vitamins should be obtained from natural food sources and vitamin supplements are just that - a safety net to help the body meet the daily requirements.  Because dieters generally restrict calories, vitamin supplements may help ensure better nutrition and a more efficient metabolism.

0 to 6 months old - 5
7 to 12 months old - 5
1 to 3 years old - 5
4 to 8 years old - 5
Males:
9 to 13 years old - 5
14 to 18 years old - 5
19 to 30 years old - 5

Natural Food Sources Containing Vitamin D:

The sun, certain species of fish including mackerel, kipper, tuna, sardines, salmon.  May be found in free range eggs.  One of the best sources for Vitamin D  is the sun.  Many products are fortified with Vitamin D - milk products in particular.

Vitamin D Nutrition Benefits for the Body:

General - Contributes to healthy bones and teeth; may assist in the treatment of cancer (breast, lung, colon), heart disease and may even combat the flu. 

Therapeutic Uses for Vitamin D: Combatant for stressed bones and teeth.  Immunity booster.

Vitamin D Deficiency Symptoms:

 


Tooth decay, weak and brittle bones, muscular pain, spasms and weakness.

Vitamin D Offenders:

- Light:  When the milk  manufacturers switched from waxed cartons of milk to see through jugs, it was a move in the wrong direction.  Exposed to light, Vitamin D is rapidly lost.
- When exposed to air, Vitamin D is rapidly lost.
- Acids also decrease the potency of Vitamin D.

Health Warnings & Tips for Vitamin D:

- Vitamin D aids in the absorption of Vitamin A, Phosphorus & Calcium
- New recommendations for sunblock discourages vigorous application.  The individual not only blocks out harmful rays, but they block the absorption of Vitamin D.  While one form of cancer (skin cancer) may be covered, there are thirty or more cancers that they body will be at risk for if they are a heavy sun block user.
 
Rule of Thumb: Use your good sense.  Apply sunblock when necessary and meet with your doctor so that you both can decide 'when necessary' is for YOU.

Health Notes Regarding Vitamin Deficiencies:

Fad dieting, fasting, liquid dieting and yo yo dieting may effect your body's balance and leave the dieter deficient in certain vitamins and minerals.  In that event, it will be more difficult to drop pounds and to feel like exercising due to fatigue.  If you have been dieting for a long period of time and feel under the weather, or like you are locked in a mental fog, get with your doctor for a professional evaluation.
