The Big Vitamin Lie | Glenn Hill, Holistic Health Coach North East UK
I am going to explain the truth about vitamins and the fact that most of us aren’t having enough, which will be having a contribution towards ill health. I will also explain what each vitamin does, you can use this to notice symptoms within yourselves and then maybe consider supplementing with a vitamin or mineral. Vitamins are organic micro-nutrients that act like a spark plug in the body to keep us functioning well or “tuned up” these are needed for growth, vitality, resistance to disease and healthy ageing.
Supplementation of these doesn’t fix issues overnight, vitamins fill our deepest nutritional gaps and the fixes and regenerations can take as long as the health decline did in the first place.
Every recent study since the 1980s has concluded that even though people believe that they are eating a well balanced diet they are often well below the RDA (recommended daily allowance) for vitamins and minerals. If you then consider that the RDAs are well outdated and are just set to reduce the chances of classic wartime diseases like rickets and scurvy and definitely not set for optimum health.
A classic example is Vit D (also a hormone) made in the skin with the presence of sunlight with a RDA of 5mcg which might be enough to prevent rickets but 10x less than what people actually need for good health …50mcg. The upper amount confers to the lowest risk of heart disease, cancer and osteoporosis. Interestingly Vit D is linked to good health, better mood, happiness and increased libido.
To increase Vit D just get some more sun, especially between 12-3pm in the summer months or a couple of short 4 minute blasts on a sunbed twice weekly. Take vit D & A together or as part of a multi vitamin if you are supplementing, people with depression in the winter months should consider an increase to vit D.
