How to Take Vitamin D to Help Treat Symptoms of Parkinson's Disease
- 1). Become familiar with the recent research on Vitamin D and the scientific community's new awareness of the link between Parkinson's and other diseases due to low levels of this nutrient within the body.
- 2). Read books on Vitamin D. There are recent books being published by doctors that are using this nutrient in their practice on cases of Parkinson's, cancer, fibromyalgia, neuromuscular disease, stroke, heart disease and so many more. The results of treatment with theraputic doses of this vitamin are stunning.
- 3). Learn about sunshine and it's lack in our everyday lives. Learn how best to access sunshine regularly as a faster and more complete way to increase Vitamin D levels. Sunshine is a major source of this nutrient, as only a few foods have it.
- 4). Learn about the few foods that have any appreciable amount of Vitamin D. Salmon is about the highest, with mackerel, tuna, sardines and herring coming in below that. A few other foods, such as shitake mushrooms have some. Try to eat these foods a few times a week.
- 5). Find a good source for Vitamin D3 in supplement form for those days/seasons that are not conducive to going outside in the sun. Determine your daily intake or consult with a physician or other health care provider who will test your blood to determine your level of deficiency and can help you plan which and how many supplements you should take to optimize your benefits. Unless you are in the sun regularly and for a fair amount of time, you are probably deficient, according to the new findings.
