Disease Proof

Vitamin D is great stuff. It protects against rheumatoid arthritis, osteoporosis, cancer and much more. But 1 MILLION people aren’t getting enough! Not good.

It gets worse. New research in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism claims insufficient levels of vitamin D lead to heart trouble and another study, this one Hypertension, reveals low vitamin D is associated with high blood pressure; Reuters reports.

And recently the American Academy of Pediatrics suggested doubling children’s daily intake of vitamin D. It can help prevent rickets and diabetes in kids.

Now, Dr. Fuhrman recommends supplements and plenty of sunshine to help your body get enough vitamin D and calcium.
