Scientific American recently reported that an estimated three-quarters of American teens and adults have deficient levels of vitamin D. This vital vitamin regulates gene expression, vitamin B regulation, and stimulates many processes in different systems.

Vitamin D plays an important role in the effectiveness of our immune system. White blood cells have many vitamin D receptors. Proper vitamin D intake increases immune function by a factor of 3 to 5, and stimulates the production of vital antimicrobial peptides. Vitamin D is considered to be more effective than any vaccine you can take because of it improves the immune system in its entirety.
Patients with heart diseases have statistically lower vitamin D levels. Lower concentrations of this vitamin lead to higher concentrations of calcium build up in the arteries. Calcium plaque greatly increases the risk of heart diseases and stroke. In general low vitamin D levels cause other conditions that increase the possibility of stroke and disease like: hypertension, obesity higher cholesterol and type two diabetes.
The connection isn’t clearly understood, but the statistical correlation is clear. People with low vitamin D levels sweat more than those with higher levels. The sweating is usually concentrated around the forehead and neck.
People with gastrointestinal conditions are at high risk for vitamin D deficiency. Some of these conditions include celiac, Crohn’s, inflammatory bowel disease.
