Vitamin D deficiency, “these” systems sound the alarm! Dr. Zheng Naiyuan: 5 tips to supplement vitamin D
Survey: More than 80% of people are vitamin D deficient
Vitamin D is one of the important nutrients for the human body. Once there is a lack of vitamin D in the human blood, many diseases may occur. A statistic that analyzed more than 120,000 vitamin D data over eight years found that as many as 87% of people have insufficient or deficient vitamin D, which means that almost 9 out of 10 people have abnormal vitamin D. Nearly 90% of women do not reach the recommended value (vitamin D value in the blood is greater than or equal to 30ng/ml, which is sufficient). It is speculated that because women pursue whitening and sun protection more than men, and do not have the habit of supplementing, the abnormality of vitamin D remains high.

Dr. Zheng Naiyuan, chief director of Lian An Preventive Medicine Institution, said that in addition to the traditional maintenance of calcium and phosphorus balance and the health of the musculoskeletal system, vitamin D also plays a role in many non-skeletal health systems such as the respiratory system, cardiovascular system, liver and gallbladder system. Diseases that may be caused by the human body, nervous system, skin epidermal system, kidney urinary system, reproductive system, and immune system are also closely related to severe vitamin D deficiency.
Vitamin D deficiency, 9 major systems sound the alarm
Long-term vitamin D deficiency or deficiency may increase the risk of various diseases, such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, chronic kidney disease, cancer, coronary artery disease, depression, Alzheimer’s disease, osteoporosis, and atopy. Conditions such as dermatitis, polycystic ovary syndrome, infertility, and even metabolic syndrome have been linked to vitamin D insufficiency or deficiency. In recent years, more research has pointed out that vitamin D controls the transmission of cell messages in most tissues in the body, so deficiency or deficiency will affect cell functions, such as proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, etc.
Respiratory system: Asthma, COPD, cancer.
Cardiovascular system: cardiomegaly, coronary artery disease.
Hepatobiliary system: fatty liver, chronic liver disease, fibrosis.
Nervous system: depression, Alzheimer’s disease.
Musculoskeletal system: osteoporosis, rickets.
Skin epidermal system: atopic dermatitis, psoriasis.
Renal urinary system: chronic kidney disease, worsening of renal function.
Reproductive system: polycystic ovary syndrome, infertility.
Immune system: Type 1 diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis.
It is recommended to consume foods rich in vitamin D, including black fungus, salmon, saury, dried mushrooms, mackerel, duck meat, fresh mushrooms, and pork liver.
