Vitamin D to prevent colds and periodontal disease! What is the relationship with immune function?
Various activities are carried out in the body without our knowledge, such as creating energy to move the body and adjusting the temperature inside the body to a certain level.
Orthomolecular nutrition therapy is to understand the mechanism and take in the nutrients necessary for the work of cells to relieve the disorder and lead the body to the optimum state.
In July 2019, the "1st General Meeting of the Japanese Orthomolecular Medical Society" was held with doctors, experts, and related parties practicing this therapy gathered together. Doctors who are active on the front lines have announced various things such as clinical utilization of nutrients in various departments, intestinal environment, cancer treatment, antioxidants, CBD oil, and so on. Among them, personally came to mind, a multitude of topics related to vitamin D is.
Cold and flu prevention and vitamin D
Vitamin D has traditionally been thought to be involved in building strong bones. Recently, it has been attracting attention again because it has amazing power that goes beyond bone-building.
Dr. Atsushi Yanagisawa, CEO of the Japanese Orthomolecular Medical Society, made a presentation on the effectiveness of vitamin D from the viewpoint of cold and influenza prevention.
According to a study by the Jikei University School of Medicine, 167 children were divided into two groups, one with vitamin D and one without. According to a survey conducted between December and April when the influenza epidemic occurred, 31 people in the group who did not receive vitamin D got the flu, while 18 people in the group received the flu, which is close to half. It is called Ta.
Also, a study from Yale University in the United States found that 198 healthy adults had colds and pneumonia in the nose and throat when they had a certain level of vitamin D in their blood, compared to those who had lower levels. There is also a report that the number of people with acute respiratory tract infections has decreased by about half, and the period of illness has also shortened.
Periodontal disease causes general trouble. Vitamin D that does not fall
In the field of dentistry, Dr. Hiroki Morinaga introduced the relationship between oral health and vitamin D.
Periodontal disease is a typical problem in the mouth. Studies have shown that when this bacterium is given through the mouth of a mouse, it reaches the intestine and upsets the balance of the intestinal environment, making it more likely to cause systemic inflammation. There is also a story that arteriosclerosis is more likely to progress as periodontal disease progresses.
Vitamin D brings the gospel to this condition, says Dr. Morinaga. It is known that it may increase the antibacterial peptide human β defensin 3 and suppress periodontal disease and inflammation. In fact, people with periodontitis tend to have low levels of vitamin D in their bodies.
So how do you get vitamin D, which has various powers, into your daily life?
Ingredients high in vitamin D include fish such as salmon and mackerel and mushrooms. Also, since cholesterol is used as a material and is made on the skin by receiving ultraviolet rays, it is important to get a proper amount of sunlight.
I am always aware of vitamin D charge, but I feel many benefits such as being less likely to catch a cold. Of course, I want to replenish my daily routine, so I also use supplements. In that case, I choose the one labeled as Vitamin D3.
Speaking of supplements, Dr. Toru Mizoguchi, a leading expert in orthomolecular nutrition medicine in Japan, said in a conference presentation, " Fat-soluble vitamins have synergistic effects in various forms, and vitamin D should be taken with A. It was impressive that there was a story saying, " You can expect a synergistic effect ." It seems good to use a product that is a blend of fat-soluble vitamins.
An academic society that once again learned about the power of nutrition. I am often surprised and impressed by its power. I want to make good use of it and spend my days in a better mood.
