Title: Low Levels of Vitamin D May Be Linked to Depression Category: Health News Created: 1/10/2012 7:17:00 PM Last Editorial Review: 1/11/2012
Although vitamin D has long been known to promote bone health and protect the heart, researchers at John Hopkins reveal that vitamin D might stop conferring cardiovascular benefits and may cause harm as blood levels increase above what is considered normal. According to Muhammad Amer, M.D...
Low levels of vitamin D have been linked to depression, according to UT Southwestern Medical Center psychiatrists working with the Cooper Center Longitudinal Study. It is believed to be the largest such investigation ever undertaken.
The body naturally absorbs vitamin D when skin is directly exposed to the sun outdoors. The shorter and often overcast days during the winter months make people, especially those living in the northern half of the United States, more at risk for vitamin D deficiency.
