Vitamin D and swine flu, do they anything in common? What does Vitamin D and swine flu have to do with the health of my family? Do you live where sunshine is at a minimum on a daily basis for your family? Is your family involved outdoors with at least 15 minutes exposure to the all natural Vitamin D, the sun? or are they totally covered up in sunscreen preventing the sun from providing with a very important nutrient-Vitamin D?
Vitamin D is a very necessary vitamin to help the immune system performs it duties of protecting our bodies from colds and flu, yes, even the swine flu. Vitamin D is a protector of the respiratory system. When you have the proper amounts of Vitamin D in your body, the range should be in the optimal range of 50-65 ng/ml. Your health practitioner can test your system for the appropriate levels to maintain to see if you need to supplement or not. When the levels of Vitamin D are maintained, you will notice a drastic change in the frequency of colds and flu your family has a year. Do you notice that when we are more house-bound or live in enclosed areas, the more colds and flu we have in our families?

There is research going on that has begun to prove that the less natural sunshine a person receives, the more immune challenges a person experiences, so is it an important issue then to know what levels your family has of the all-important Vitamin D? Can you prevent the swine flu from bombarding your family? Yes, I think that if you will do some research and educate yourself that you can prohibit the swine flu from attacking your loved ones by implementing the important Vitamin D. This needs to be checked by your local health practitioner and not just taken randomly as your family may be just fine or one of you might be more at-risk than others in the same household.
There is a possibility that 58 million American children are Vitamin D deficient; 7.6 million are severely deficient. Is there someone in your family with immune system challenges already? Take aggressive action and have them checked for the balance of Vitamin D in their system. Please try the natural way of protection and not become a statistic of taking the shots for the swine flu!
