So you’ve been told your “D” is too low and a shot will help you elevate/replenish/supplement your level of D. Guess what? That isn’t exactly true. Here, is why:
Vitamin D is……
*Collected through the skin’s exposure to sunlight
*Consumed through eating animal products
*Stimulated by exposure to sunlight
However, too much Vitamin D can cause other problems like kidney stones, rendering more undesirable side effects than not having enough. Since the body uses D to assist calcium, too much can lead to the following side effects:
*Excessive calcium deposits in your blood vessels which can eventually lead to narrowing the flow of blood to vital organs such as your heart
*Dizziness, nausea, weight loss
*Kidney stones, forming from excessive calcium
*Bone loss, the result of excessive calcium leaching from your bones into your blood
Most of us wouldn’t know any better if we were told our “D” was low and would automatically look for the easiest way in replenishing our “D” levels. However, before jumping to that conclusion, why not seek the advice of a nutritionist or dietician for a full evaluation. You may find out that there is more going on than just low levels of “D” and you will be seeking the advice of a medical professional in this area of expertise.
If I had a heart problem I’d see a cardiologist, right? If I suffered from allergies I’d consult with an allergist, right? So why not seek the advice of someone who specializes in all matters related to diet and nutrition. Even your primary care physician would suggest you to do so. There are no quick fixes, but, there are answers. Find the solution that not only helps you feel better now but also in the future.
