A new study shows that a lack of Vitamin D (the sunshine vitamin) is linked to a higher incidence of type 2 Diabetes as well. Earlier studies support that vitamin D is important for nornmal bone mineral density, healthy arteries, immune health, cardiovascular health, elasticity of blood vessels, prevent cancer and maintain normal blood pressure. Ask your physician to check your vitamin D levels. When looking for a vitamin, consider an isotonic formulation for superior quality and absorption.

The report shows that high stress imparts a high bacteria count in the gut which is linked to poor immune health. Therefore, it is very important to maintain a proper balance of bacteria in the gut in order to maintain good health. A good source of probiotics ingested on a daily basis should aid to balance gut bacteria and in effect counteract the damage leveled by stress on the immune system.
