Discover all the important benefits of vitamin D, from building strong bones and teeth to improving your mental wellbeing
The benefits of vitamin D have long been reported, but are you getting enough of this nutrient in your everyday diet for optimal health and wellbeing? Whether you opt for a daily dose of sunshine, a supplement, or fortified foods, getting enough vitamin D is vital when it comes to keeping your bones strong and your immune system firing on all cylinders.
What are the benefits of vitamin D?According to Rahaf Al Bochi, registered nutritionist and spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics , there are several benefits to vitamin D. “Vitamin D helps absorb calcium and phosphorus, which is important for bone and teeth health,” she says. “Vitamin D also plays a role in disease prevention such as heart disease and type 2 diabetes, reducing the risk for depression.
A review released in 2022 into the role vitamin D plays in fighting Covid-19 found that low vitamin D levels may increase the risk of infection and may also increase its severity. Researchers concluded that vitamin D supplementation could protect people from respiratory diseases and prevent it from progressing in severity, reducing the risk of death.
Although there is not enough evidence to support the idea that vitamin D supplementation can lower the risk of cardiovascular disease , many health experts argue that it reduces blood cholesterol levels and high blood pressure , both of which can contribute to CVD. However, one study reported an association between a higher intake of vitamin A and invasive breast cancer, with subjects experiencing a 28% rise in risk.
