Did you know that low levels of Vitamin D are associated with an increased risk for respiratory infections, like the flu or common cold? And, that people with respiratory diseases, like asthma and COPD are at an increased risk for this association?
If you have COPD, there is a new
COPD clinical trial designed to test the hypothesis that increasing levels of Vitamin D in the body will lead to better COPD outcomes:How can you increase your levels of Vitamin D in your body? Here are some helpful tips:
- Eat salmon, with the bones
- Drink 3 cups of milk daily
- Get 15 minutes of sunshine each day, or, if you don't live in a sunshine infested state,
- Take a multivitamin with at least 200 international units of Vitamin D

Burn Fat
Very interesting post,
I am a true believer that there is a natural cure for any ailment located somewhere on this planet. Our planet provides a lot of natural cures for disease management and common remedies as well. If we could just get the proper and natural health coaching from our health advocate we would find ourselves much better off. Although it probably wouldn't be good for the economy though at this point
Burn Fat and nurse line, thank you for your comments. I agree, that we certainly don't utilize what God puts on this earth for us. Especially in our fast, Type A personality society. Will have to visit your site. Thanks again for the comments, my blog notification must be turned off, as I did not even know comments were left.
What about Prevention?Prevention should be the number one priority when it comes to saving lives, preventing diseases, and preventing death. Our healthcare system needs to focus on prevention instead of disease management . I guess there is no money in preventing diseases.
