Doctors recommend their patients to take vitamin D as a supplement when even just a few years ago, it was never an issue. On the other hand, some nutritionists say that vitamins in general don't do a thing.
It's hard to say what the truth is, however if a particular vitamin is not known to cause any harm to our health, we might as well take it with the belief that it could help at least just a little.
This topic of vitamin D caught my attention particularly when at my usual doctor's checkup, she mentioned that lack of vitamin D is directly linked to aging. My reaction was what? Why is this coming up only now? Her answer was it's not just for aging but for several other reasons including protection against cancer, better immunity, arthritis in women, asthma, maintaining better body weight and a few more that I forget. Enough said.
Who wants to age? Never is impossible but if at least slowing down the process is possible, then why not? My next stop was guess where? Costco. I now have a supply that will last me the rest of the year.
