doctor if you ’ re above 40 ng / ML . I must remind you all , vitamin D deficiency increases with age . This is especially important for all of you out there over 60 . Circling us back , to the NFS journal COVID-19 , vitamin D , comorbidity study . Patients with one or more comorbidities as I mentioned above , were directly associated with vitamin D status . In the insufficient group below 20 ng / ML , 80 + percent had one or more of these comorbidities . Compared to the group hospitalized that had vitamin D levels above 30 + ng / ML , the comorbidities were less than 18 %!.
The case for vitamin D , an essential part of our daily nutritional intake , is astronomically in the positive . I have been recommending vitamin D to clients for 20 years . However , there are a few things that we need to be aware of to utilize vitamin D ’ s bioavailability . Remember that magnesium , from my previous article , needs vitamin D , and therefore lowering your levels of vitamin D . So taking only the RDA of vitamin D is going to leave people at a bare minimum , more than marginal deficiency . Vitamin D is fat soluble that means for our bodies to utilize vitamin D it must synthesize with a good fat . Not fats partially hydrogenated , trans , oxidized vegetable seed oil , fats .
For each of us on this journey , I believe that optimizing our health , vitality , longevity , performance , and recovery is key to Living a good life . Not just meeting the bare minimum standards , not just periodically utilizing tactics and strategies to help us out in a jam . Like “ oh we ’ re sick ”, What do we do now ? Instead of protecting our body to ameliorate sickness potential . Keep our self running at the most optimal levels of vitality , performance and recovery we possibly can .
So to each of you I wish nothing but health , well-being and all the blessings you deserve . As I continue my mission to help as many people as I ’ m capable of helping , I trust that this article finds you well on your way to seeking a higher standard daily , and applying and introducing the information and strategies to suit your needs .
To each of you , FORWARD FORWARD FORWARD !
