The Real Power of Vitamin D Welcome to Cloverleaf Chiropractic Show. Today I'm going to talk to you about the real power of vitamin D. How important vitamin D is to the body. Welcome to the Cloverleaf Chiropractic Show, a podcast advocating wellness, life and healing from within. With 38 years in practice, 50,000 patients and over 1 million chiropractic adjustments, here's your host, Dr. Daniel Abeckjerr. My name is Dr. Daniel Abeckjerr. I'm a Doctor of Chiropractic. Stay tuned. I'm doing the show to educate the public on what health is and what wellness is and how to take care of our body better and how we can improve our health. How important is vitamin D in the body? I usually don't talk much about vitamins or nutrition as it is not my field. So, but I cannot help talking about the subject because the more I hear and the more I learn about this topic, I realize how important it is to have vitamin D, and how misinformed we are today as far as what vitamin D is and how we're supposed to take care of ourselves and how we're supposed to stay away from the sun. So I read some articles. It all started with this article that I read on COVID-19 and how important vitamin D is for COVID-19. And basically, the correlation between the two is about the immune system. So most people in general are very low on vitamin D. Three out of four women are deficient in vitamin D. And basically what's happening is, most of us or most women, a lot of women don't want to go in the sun because apparently it affects the skin and it can cause the wrinkles and basically, it's for your looks, in the beauty. The question is, which one is healthier and which one is more important? Is health more important than looks? I think definitely we should understand what are some of the consequences of not getting enough vitamin D. So low vitamin D can cause all kinds of health issues. And originally, it started with rickets. Then it can cause osteoporosis and tuberculosis, cancer; breast cancer, colon cancer. So vitamin, you know, is getting a lot of attention these days. And basically people are really listening and paying attention why, you know, what is this thing? Why is vitamin D so important? So, the thing about vitamin D is that you get it from sitting in the sun and it doesn't cost any money, and there's plenty abundance of it. And it's extremely vital to the body. So, let's talk in detail about what can happen when you are deficient in vitamin D. So one of the diseases that used to result as a result of vitamin D deficiency was rickets. In the old days, it was very common. The Rickett is when the bone is soft and is very common in children. Dr. Daniel Abeckjerr is well known for his 38 years of experience as chiropractor.
