Protection From Injuries
Vitamin D – called the sunshine vitamin
because it is produced when sunlight hits the skin – has been widely
touted as important to overall health. But recent studies and anecdotal
evidence such as the Martin Luther King Jr. football team show that it
can prevent and heal injuries – and not only in young people.
“Vitamin D helps older people by increasing
the absorption of calcium, which is very important for muscle strength
and balance, which reduces falls,” said Dr. Matthews.
