Energy Detox: for improved health
The vitamin D that is derived from sunshine and oily fish can reduce your
risk of heart disease, and increase your chances of survival if you have
cancer (vitamin D in supplements may not work, as vitamin D is best
obtained either from fatty foods or from the sun itself).
These latest benefits from the "sunshine vitamin"
follow hard upon the heels of the discovery that this vitamin also reduces
the risk of epilepsy. In a 2007 study involving 1739 participants,
researchers discovered that those who had low levels of vitamin D are
twice as likely to suffer a cardiovascular problem such as heart attack,
heart failure or stroke.
In yet another, separate study in the same year,
researchers found that sunshine also reduces your chances of dying from
cancer. The vitamin D produced by solar radiation in countries below the
equator was, for example, 3.4 and 4.8 times greater than in the UK and
Scandinavia respectively. What's more, although the incidence of major
carcinomas, including skin cancers - was higher in the lower latitudes,
the survival rate was dramatically better there compared to the
north (Circulation 2008; 117: 503-11, heart study; Proc
Natl Acad Sci USA, published online 7 January 2008, 10.
1073/pnas.0710615105, cancer study).
New studies also suggest a close association between
epilepsy and a deficiency in vitamin D, which is best sourced directly
from sunlight and from a diet rich in oily fish. Scientists have found
that nearly half of all epileptics are deficient in the vitamin, which
also makes them more susceptible to osteoporosis, autoimmune disease,
cancer and heart disease. They also believe that the vitamin deficiency is
caused by taking anti-epileptic drugs but are also considering the
possibility that the drugs may only be making such a pre-existing
deficiency worse (presentation at the American Epilepsy
Society Annual Meeting, 30 November-4 December 2007; Abstract 3.337).
There's more - low levels of vitamin D may play a
role in the cognitive decline typically experienced by the elderly.
Vitamin D deficiency is known to be common in older adults and has also
been linked to psychiatric and neurological disorders. In a study of 80
patients, 40 of whom had Alzheimer's disease and 40 of whom had no
dementia-type disease, and after adjusting for age, gender, race, and
season, the study found that vitamin D deficiency was associated with a
poor performance on cognitive tests and with mood disorders
(Am J Geriatr Psychiatry, 2006; 14: 1032-40).
