Dr. David Radford will share the importance of maintaining proper levels of Vitamin D, the "Sunshine Vitamin.” This deficiency is becoming a serious problem, linked to “increased risk of heart disease, Parkinson's disease, rickets, and many types of cancer, as well as many common wintertime complaints such as fatigue, depression and aches and pains. A Harvard Medical School study published in the New England Journal of Medicine has reported that 60% of Americans are Vitamin D deficient. And a majority of Parkinson's disease patients had insuficient levels of Vitamin D determined a new study from Emory University School of Medicine.” Moderate exposure to sunlight or UV light is the absolute best way to help the body manufacture the Vitamin D it needs, but unfortunately, during the winter months in our area it becomes impossible to manufacture Vitamin D even if residents do get their daily dose of sunshine. *
