Learn all about Vitamin D
6:30 - 8:00 pm, Free
Rebecca Gould DC, HIS, Doctor of Chiropractic, Internal Health SpecialistIn the past few years Vitamin D has been a hot topic. This is partially due to the fact that the amount of testing being done has surged because studies have suggested that a deficiency of the nutrient raises the risk of bone weakness, cancer, heart attacks, autoimmune diseases and other illnesses. Often people, even children, are diagnosed with low Vitamin D levels. Most people know that exposure to the sun helps our body to make Vitamin D, but exposure to the sun might also be harmful. Many foods are fortified with D, but the form of D matters and not all foods are fortified with the same type of D. Come learn all about D, why we need it and best ways to get it.
