Mother’s Wisdom And Vitamin D
My mother was forever telling me to go outside and play and at the time I thought she was just didn’t want me in the house, but now that I’m older, I realize that she only wanted me to reap the benefits of fresh air and sunshine. At the time, I did not realize that sunshine was the only way our bodies could produce Vitamin D, nor did I realize how important it was in the formation of strong bones and a strong immune systems, among the many other health benefits.
Scientific studies about the importance of Vitamin D are being done all over the world, and researchers at the University of California have recently discovered that when a Vitamin D3 supplement is combined with curcumin (from the Indian spice, turmeric), it stimulates the formation of macrophages. Macrophages are reportedly handy cells to have around as their job is to rid the body of cellular debris by eating and then digesting it. According to UC’s study, these macrophages have been found to destroy destructive amyloid beta plaque that collects in the brains of alzheimer's patients and may prove beneficial in treating this debilitating disease.
