Detoxify the Body

I am extremely fortunate in my position to be able to receive direct feedback from my clients. They let me know personally, how my program has helped and ask follow up questions to help ensure they are as healthy as they can possibly be. Sometimes, the same question comes up and its good to be able to address the answer to many.

One question Id like to address is whether or not there is a relation between high blood pressure and Vitamin D deficiency.

Vitamin D is actually several different vitamins ” Vitamin D2 and D3 specifically. Vitamin D3 is produced when a persons skin is exposed to sunlight or ultraviolet light. In fact, sunlight is the easiest way to get the required amount of Vitamin D.

Vitamin D is important because it allows the body to process calcium and phosphorus, providing for strong bones. It is also important in the maintenance of the bodys organs, including the heart.

Studies have shown that a Vitamin D deficiency in conjunction with hypertension makes an individual twice as likely to suffer from a cardiac event (stroke, heart attack, etc.)

Is there a Way to determine if lack of Vitamin D might be my problem?

Since symptoms of Vitamin D are often the same symptoms of other diseases (hypertension, flu-like symptoms, periodontal issues, depression, bone diseases), the best and easiest way to check to see if you are Vitamin D deficient is to have your doctor perform a blood test.

Different groups are more susceptible to Vitamin D deficiencies than others. Older adults cannot synthesize the vitamin as well and therefore, need more Vitamin D to process. They also tend to avoid exposure to sunlight more than younger adults or children.

People who have limited exposure to ultraviolet light also have in increased chance of having the vitamin deficiency. This would include people who live in areas that dont receive as much sunlight, women who cover their skin due to religious reasons or those who are employed in fields where they are constantly indoors and out of the sun.

Darker skin has a great deal of melanin. This reduces the skin’s ability to process Vitamin D from the sunlight more difficult.

Severely overweight people also tend to be at risk for Vitamin D deficiency. The fat cells make the distribution of the vitamin throughout the body difficult.

Of course, the easiest way to avoid Vitamin D deficiency would be at least 10 minutes of direct sunlight exposure each day. You should, however, consult your doctor first to ensure this will not lead to larger health issues.

Many foods contain Vitamin D either naturally or enhanced ” Cod, salmon, mackerel, tuna, milk, eggs, cereal. Consult your doctor to ensure you are eating the required amount to maintain adequate Vitamin D production.

Oral supplements are another option for treating Vitamin D deficiency but should be monitored by your physician since taking too much of this vitamin can adversely affect your health.

I recommend the High Blood Pressure Program regardless of the cause of your high blood pressure due to the outstanding results.
