Vitamin D may slow Cellular Aging

In a recent study by the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, researchers followed over 1,000 adults for four years to determine whether vitamin D or omega-3 supplementation could slow telomere shortening (the protective caps on our chromosomes that naturally shorten with age).

The results showed that participants taking 2,000 IU of vitamin D3 daily experienced significantly less telomere shortening than those on placebo, the equivalent of about 140 base pairs of protection, suggesting that vitamin D may help slow cellular aging.

Omega-3 supplements, on the other hand, did not significantly affect telomere length.

Adequate, daily amounts of vitamin D is crucial for immune function and bone health, especially if you live in a country where the sun doesn’t shine in winter months and the body cannot do what it does, naturally.

The Beatles once sang, “Here comes the sun / The smiles returning to their faces / It seems like years since it’s been here.” The famous foursome captured what we all know to be true: A sunny day just makes you feel good (especially after a long, cold winter!).

Sunlight exposure provides essential vitamin D and helps boost everything from your mood and energy level to your ability to sleep well at night.

Getting enough vitamin D is associated with:

There remains considerable research out there to provide us with better information about each of those direct effects, but it’s clear that vitamin D is an important mineral for our overall health. However, as we aren’t doctors, what we are doing here is bringing this matter to you for consideration – and discussion with your own health practitioner and what you should be taking as vitamin D daily supplement.

It’s worth the ask.
