Vitamin D is naturally produced by our bodies when the skin is exposed to sunlight, but due to modern lifestyles, many people are deficient. It is also difficult to get enough sunlight in colder climates, particularly during winter months.</p><p>If your situation makes it hard to get enough sunlight, supplements are also a good solution. In the Japanese study, children were given a dose of 1200 I.U. per day, but adults are often advised to take more. Supplements also give you the benefit of vitamin D without the harmful effects of the sun’s UV rays.</p><p>Vitamin D has long been seen as a simple way to boost your health, but we are now realizing it might be more powerful than we ever thought before. It might have more effective results than the drug it was compared to in the study, with no toxic side effects. If nothing else, it is a great tool to keep our bodies functioning in top shape.</p><p>No related posts.</p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.healthcourage.com/health-conditions/cold-and-flu-influenza/can-vitamin-d-make-you-flu-proof/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>4</slash:comments> </item> </channel> </rss>
