Let's take a look at the many benefits this vitamin provides for our bodies.
IT BOOSTS YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM Vitamin D helps your body fight off sickness. In fact, it’s been proven that deficiencies in vitamin D are connected to an increased possibility of developing infections and autoimmune diseases such as the flu, heart disease, and diabetes. IT REDUCES THE RISKS OF DEPRESSION Studies have shown that those who are deficient in vitamin D become more prone to mood disorders and depression. To ensure that you support your mental health, step outside and get some happy, feel-good rays! IT’S POSSIBLY LINKED TO WEIGHT LOSS While it’s not fully proven that vitamin D helps with weight loss, many studies have found links between vitamin D supplements and shedding a few pounds. In one study, one group of people taking vitamin D and calcium supplements lost more weight than another group taking placebos. IT COUNTERS OSTEOPOROSIS Osteoporosis, a loss in bone mass, is common as we get older. However, vitamin D is one of the key players in helping to slow down bone loss and prevent or treat osteoporosis so we can maintain a healthy skeletal system. IT PROTECTS ONE OF YOUR FOUNDATIONAL ASSETS As you can see, Vitamin D is a key part of maintaining your health — and health is one of the important assets in your Foundational Dimension! If you aren’t in good health, you won’t be able to add as many experiences to your Legacy Bank or travel for Family Retreats with a Purpose. As Doug once wrote, “A lot of people spend a lot of their health accumulating their wealth, and then later in life, they end up spending all their wealth trying to regain their health.” Don’t make that mistake! Take responsibility for your health today. This spring, be sure to get outdoors and soak up some vitamin D; however, don’t forget to protect your skin, too! To avoid overexposure, only about 10–15 minutes a day of unprotected sun is recommended.
