BONES AND A STRONG IMMUNE SYSTEM WITH VITAMIN D


Benefits of vitamin D, Factors and deficiency symptoms
Vitamin D is particularly known for strong bones because it promotes the binding of phosphorus, calcium and some minerals in the blood. Its benefits are far more numerous. Vitamin D, in addition to osteoporosis (decreased bone tissue), prevents various brain disorders and heart diseases and cancers such as breast, ovarian, bladder, prostate or colon. Moreover, this substance reduces the risk of pain or muscle weakness and chronic fatigue. In short, it strengthens the immune system while balancing the nervous system. Thus, it also balances the emotions and promotes intellectual activity.

Vitamin D deficiency can occur in both adults and children. The symptoms of this deficiency are numerous. It can lead to pain in bones and muscles, bone fractures common in lower tone, chronic fatigue or by subjection to depression. In children, it manifests itself through severe asthma attacks and low growth. A deficiency of vitamin D can also be found in the elderly. In the past, this deficiency is mainly a reflection of frequent falls.
