Foods That Have Vitamin D In Abundance

Vitamin D is one of the most important vitamins required for bone and teeth development, or skeletal development. Not to mention enhanced immunity (need of the hour), improved brain health and health of the nervous system. What sets apart this crucial vitamin from others is its synthesis through exposure to the sun than from foods. However, it may not be feasible at the moment as we all remain confined to our houses in view of the pandemic and also during winters when adequate sunlight isn’t available, but the good news is you can boost your vitamin D levels by incorporating some foods into your diet that this blog aims to discuss.

These are some of the vital dietary sources to boost your vitamin D levels:

Fatty fish- Not just including fatty fish, such as salmon, tuna, trout, mackerel will help boost vitamin D levels, but these contain the heart-healthy Omega-3 fats that will keep your heart in good shape for the longest possible time.

Eggs- Egg is another rich source of Vitamin D, and is a good alternative for those that are not fond of seafood. It is the egg yolk that has the majority of the vitamins, minerals and fats.

Plant milk alternatives- Receiving adequate vitamin D can become challenging if you don’t consume milk (has high levels of vitamin D). This is where plant milk alternatives come into the picture. Some of the best alternatives include almond milk, coconut milk and soy milk. These too are a good source of the bone-building vitamin D.

Fortified foods- You can easily combat micronutrient deficiencies with fortified dairy products, such as milk and yogurt and ice cream.

Signs you are deficient in Vitamin D:

1.      Muscle weakness, muscle aches, muscle cramps

2.      Bone pain

3.      Weakness and tiredness

4.      Extreme mood swings

Incorporating the aforementioned vitamin D-rich foods in your diet can help meet the nutritional requirements and keep from deficiency. When it comes to vitamin D supplements, it should always be taken in consultation with a professional, since excess of this vitamin may not hold you in good stead by causing side effects, such as Hypercalcemia- high levels of calcium in the blood. When the level of calcium is more than normal, which is more than 8.5 to 10.8 mg/dL, it can set off gastrointestinal symptoms on the lines of vomiting, weakness, nausea, and frequent urination. Hypercalcemia can also lead to issues with the kidneys.

You should take supplements only when recommended by your doctor, so that you are never at the receiving end of vitamin D toxicity.

Risks, Types and Causes of Atrial Flutter and CPR Classes in Palm Harbor

Atrial flutter is a problem when the atria of the ticker beats rapidly and regularly due to an anomaly of the ticker’s electrical system that usually results in a tachycardia (an abnormally fast heart rate). An individual with the condition may get feelings like near-fainting, rapid heartbeats (palpitations), mild shortness of breath and fatigue. During atrial flutter, the ticker beats extra fast about 250-400 beats per minute. This type of arrhythmia (abnormal heart rhythm) can be dangerous because complications can easily develop, and a normal heartbeat is 60-100 beats per minute. Atrial fibrillation is another arrhythmia that atrial flutter is closely related to. Atrial Flutter Types : 1.       Persistent atrial flutter which is more or less permanent. 2.       Paroxysmal atrial flutter which can come and go. An atrial flutter episode usually lasts hours or days. Risks: The main danger is that your ticker doesn’t p...

Facts About Bicuspid Aortic Valve Disease

The aortic valve is a one-way valve between the heart and the aorta, regulating blood flow from the heart into the aorta. It is the main artery from the ticker/the major blood vessel that distributes oxygen-rich blood to the body, and also prevents the blood from flowing back from the aorta into the ticker when the pumping chamber relaxes. Bicuspid Aortic Valve Disease (BAVD) is one of the most common congenital heart conditions that can go unrecognized for years without incident. Surgery is the only fix once it starts to cause problems. Normally, the aortic valve has three small flaps or leaflets that open widely and close securely to send oxygenated blood on a one-way route from the heart to the aorta. But in bicuspid aortic valve disease (BAVD), the valve has only two leaflets, which can cause life-threatening problems. This congenital heart condition affects about 1-2 percent of the population, and it is twice as likely to develop in men, might go unrecognized for years i...
