Vitamin D Boosts Health, Cuts Cancer Risk in Half
(OMNS October 3, 2007) New research shows that getting plenty of vitamin D prolongs life and improves health. Vitamin D deficiency plays a role in causing seventeen varieties of cancer, as well as heart disease, stroke, hypertension, autoimmune diseases, diabetes, depression, chronic pain, osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, muscle weakness, muscle wasting, birth defects, and periodontal disease. (1) This does not mean that vitamin D deficiency is the only cause of these diseases. What it does mean is that vitamin D, and the many ways in which it affects a person's health, must no longer be overlooked.
Here is a very important example: Ample intake of vitamin D (about 2,000 IU/day) can cut breast cancer incidence by half. (2) If vitamin D levels were increased worldwide, 600,000 cases of breast and other cancers could be prevented each year. Nearly 150,000 cases of cancer could be prevented in the United States alone.
A four-year study of 1,179 healthy, postmenopausal women showed that taking calcium, along with nearly three times the U.S. government's recommendation of vitamin D3, showed a dramatic 60 percent or greater reduction in all forms of cancer. (3) Additionally, there is growing evidence that maintaining vitamin D levels in the body during the winter prevent the flu and other viral infections by strengthening the immune system (4).
How much vitamin D does the average person need? In the summer, those with at least 15 minutes of sun exposure on their skin most days should take 1,000 IU of vitamin D3 each day. In the winter, those with dark skin, or those who have little sun exposure on their skin, should take up to 4,000 IU each day. Suit your vitamin D3 supplementation to your lifestyle: those who have darker skin, are older, avoid sun exposure or live in the northern US should take the higher amounts.
Vitamin D is remarkably safe; there have been no deaths caused by the vitamin. (5) The best way to be sure you are getting the right amount is to have your doctor give you a blood test for 25-hydroxyvitamin D. If your vitamin D intake from all sources is maintaining your blood level at or near 50 ng/ml, you have a good vitamin D status. If it is more than 10% below this level, supplemental sources of vitamin D3 should be increased.
People consuming only government-recommended levels of 200-400 IU/day often have blood levels considerably below 50 ng/ml. This means the government’s recommendations are too low, and should be raised immediately.

Vitamins Are Safe
There is not even one death per year from vitamin supplementation. (American Journal of Emergency Medicine, Vol. 22, No. 5, September 2004. Annual%20Reports/03report/Annual%20Report%202003.pdf )
Nutritional Medicine is also known as Orthomolecular Medicine
Linus Pauling defined orthomolecular medicine as "the treatment of disease by the provision of the optimum molecular environment, especially the optimum concentrations of substances normally present in the human body." Orthomolecular medicine uses safe, effective nutritional therapy to fight illness. For more information: a>

Suomalainen tutkimus D-vitamiinin saannin vaikutuksesta luiden kasvuun

Vitamin C As A Bone Healer
Vitamin C is essential nutritionally to make the collagen that helps the body form healthy bones. It also promotes wound healing. You also can get numerous additional benefits from Vitamin C. For example, researchers at New Mexico Medical School found that adults with high blood levels of vitamin C scored higher on mental tasks than those with low levels of vitamin C. Many of my recipes are high in vitamin C.
 C-vitamiini on välttämätötä kollageenin muodostumisessa, joka auttaa luita pysymään terveinä. Se edesauttaa myös haavojen paranemista.
Aspirin And Anti-Inflammatory Drugs Can Retard Bone Healing
When you break a bone or tear a muscle and are on pain medication, you may want to try to stop taking the pain medication as soon as possible so you do not delay healing. A study in May 1995 issue of The Journal of Orthopedic Trauma shows damaged cells in a fracture release large amount of chemicals called prostaglandins. These chemicals cause the pain and are blocked by the pain medication. However prostaglandins are also very important in the first stage of tissue repair. So decreasing the use as soon as possible is helpful to the healing process.
Aspiriini ja muut tulehduskipulääkkeet saattavat hidastaa luiden paranemista. The Journal of Orthopedic Trauma (toukok.1995) osoitti, että vaurioituneet solut vapauttavat prostaglandiineja. Prostaglandiinit aiheuttavat kivun ja kipu blokataan lääkkein. Kuitenkin prostaglandiinit ovat erittäin tärkeitä vaurioituneen kudoksen "ensiapuhoitajina". Kipulääkkeiden lopettaminen mahdollisimman aikaisessa vaiheessa auttaa paranemista.
Furthermore a study in the October 1995 issue of the Journal of Rheumatology found that continued use of anti-inflammatory drugs over several months can increase the rate of cartilaginous breakdown in joints of people who have osteoarthritis. The drugs mentioned in the studies include Aspirin, Anaprox, Lodine, Meclomin, Motrin, Naprosin, Pensile, Relafen, Toreador, Tolectin, Indocin and Ibuprofen.
Jornal of Rheumatology (oct.1995) selvitti, että jatkuva tulehduskipulääkkeiden syönti lisää kartilogeenisen murtuman mahdollisuutta osteoartriitista kärsivillä ihmisillä. Tutkimuksessa mainitut lääkkeet olivat Aspiriini, Anaprox, Lodine, Meclomin, Motrin, Naprosin, Pensile, Relafen, Toreador, Tole´ctin, Indocin ja Ibuprofeiini.
Vitamin K To Promote Bone Healing
Vitamin K, also called Menadione, is a very important fat-soluble vitamin that plays a key role in the regulation of normal blood clotting functions. We get vitamin K from several sources in our diet including dark leafy vegetables. Vitamin K also assists in converting glucose into glycogen for storage in the liver. Numerous studies indicate that it plays a role in forming bone formation and preventing osteoporosis. If you want to help bones heal faster, consider increasing your intake of Vitamin K rich foods.
K-vitamiini on erittäin tärkeä vitamiini, jolla on suuri vaikutus mm. veren hyytymiseen. K-vitamiini auttaa glukoosin muuntumisessa glykogeeniksi maksassa. Monet tutkimukset osoittavat, että sillä on tärkeä rooli myös luun muodostumisessa ja osteoporoosin estäjänä.
ja sitten voita ja kermaa ruuanlaittoon ;)
