Vitamin D to Protect You From Infectious Disease

An excellent read that goes on to say, "In addition to optimizing your vitamin D levels, exercise may be your second best approach to avoiding the flu." If you live far away from the Equator, take a Vitamin D supplement.

Why is Canada Changing Its Flu Vaccine Policy?
In August of this year, I was pleased to publish the news that the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) will be investigating the role of vitamin D in protection against swine flu. The agency began a study last year on the role of vitamin D in severe seasonal influenza, which it is now adapting to the H1N1 swine flu virus.

Carole Baggerly, a major proponent of vitamin D, was the primary person responsible for this amazing, ground breaking decision. After donating one year of her time to convince Canadian government officials to do this, she deserves hero status for her efforts. Her tireless work has helped push a whole nation towards the truth.

She is an incredible role model and source of inspiration for all of us as to the power of what one person can do if they are committed to a noble cause.

Vitamin D and the Flu

Most people do not realize that vitamin D, unlike flu shots, is a proven method to keep yourself from catching an infectious disease.
