Do you know almost every cell of our body has a vitamin D receptor? This vitamin plays a role in the functioning of just about every system. Several studies have been published in the last few years exploring the links between vitamin D and diabetes, heart disease, and dementia, all of which are sometimes related to each other, as well.
Vitamin D acts as a hormone and is used by almost every type of cell in your body. It plays a part in the regulation of over 200 genes. Consequently, it has a role in a wide range of bodily processes. For instance, it keeps abnormal cells from multiplying and causing breast and colon cancers, it regulates kidney blood pressure, and it helps regulate blood sugar levels in the pancreas.
Vitamin D is produced by your body when you’re exposed to direct sunlight or a high-quality tanning bed. SEE the article appeared In recent issue of "DIABETES DAILY". diabetesdaily.com/blog/d-is...
