Vitamin D for the Prevention of Flu



Are you getting enough "sunshine vitamin" to prevent the flu? In a study involving 19,000 Americans, those with the lowest vitamin D levels reported having significantly more recent cases of colds or flu.

And because vitamin D is a powerful antimicrobial agent, optimizing your levels won't just help ward off cold or flu viruses. It can also help prevent them from invading your body in the first place.

Boost your vitamin D levels with 20-30 minutes per day of unprotected exposure to sunlight. If you're not able to enjoy time in the sun or if the rays are not strong enough due to your geography, consider using a sunlamp or supplementing with Salmon Oil with Vitamin D.
