SAN FRANCISCO – A new study conducted at Boston University School of Medicine and published in the journal, Plos One, suggests people with healthy vitamin D levels have better health than those with lower vitamin D levels. Researchers stated that their study found that higher vitamin D levels in healthy people have a considerable impact on the genes that are involved in several biologic pathways linked to infectious diseases, autoimmune diseases, cardiovascular disease and cancer.

Vitamin D offers a long list of health benefits. According to the experts at Mayo Clinic, here is why vitamin D is so crucial for your health:

· Aids calcium to make strong bones
· Protects against osteoporosis
· Helps fight hypertension (high blood pressure)
· Improves immune system
· Protects against cardiovascular diseases
· Helps prevent diabetes

The study took eight healthy adults who lacked vitamin D when the study began. Three subjects were given 400 International Units (IUs) of vitamin D per day and the other five subjects were given 2,000 IUs per day. The study continued for two months. The researchers collected samples of white blood cells - immune cells - at the beginning and the end of the two-month period. By the end of the study, researchers saw that the second group had a healthier check up than the first group. There are two ways to obtain vitamin D—ingested (eaten or drunk) or through the skin when exposed to the sun. Here are some great ways to get your vitamin D.

· Get safe sun exposure and make sure to wear sun protection
· Fish oil
· Salmon
· Halibut
· Tuna fish
· Soy milk
· Orange juice
· Milk
· Mushrooms

Have a healthy day,
