Vitamin D is the most important nutrient when discussing immune system or bone health. In order to help build and maintain strong bones vitamin D in combination with calcium is very important for our body. It also regulates cells and the immune system, where it could help prevent cancer. Vitamin D not only preserves bone and immune system health, but also prevents a lot of serious health conditions.
Lack of vitamin D often leads to skeletal deformities and fragile bones, frequently coinciding with increased risk of injury. That condition is known as rickets (brittle bones).
In the following text we’re going to represent you the 7 ways to uncover a potential deficiency of vitamin D.
7 WARNING SIGNS OF A VITAMIN D DEFICIENCY:
1.Heart Conditions
There is a probable correlation between the low vitamin D levels and cardiovascular disease. Some medical professionals believe that low levels of vitamin D result in bigger concentrations of calcium build up in the arteries. The calcium buildup is a plaque that forms in the arteries and increases the risk of stroke or heart attack. Other conditions connected to low vitamin D levels are hypertension, type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol and obesity and they appear to solidify the connection between the vitamin D levels and heart health.
2. Pain and Muscle Weakness
Degree of muscle weakness and pain can vary from subtle to severe. In the beginning, the symptoms of this type are almost non-present; yet, as the deficiency starts during much longer, associated symptoms tend to become worse. The main reason is that vitamin D, when it’s metabolized, it enhances the muscle contraction, which is an essential mechanism for strengthening the bones.
