"A study led by Cheryl L. Rock of University of Alabama at Birmingham in Birmingham, AL has showed that weight loss in obese women boosts Vitamin D serum."
"Earlier studies had linked it to low circulating levels of vitamin D and have been associated with increased riskof cancer and heart diseases among several other diseases."
"The data used for the study was collected from 383 overweight or obese women. The women went through a two year clinical trial of the weight-loss program."
"The serum levels of the overweight or obese women who have lost five to 10 percent of baseline body weight increased their serum vitamin D levels measured as 25(OH)D by 2. The women who had greater than 10 percent had increased levels of serum vitamin D levels by 5.0ng/ml whereas the women who did not lose any weight had an increase of 1.9ng/ml.
The researchers added,
'These findings suggest that weight loss, presumably associated with a reduction in body fat, is associated with increased serum 25(OH)D concentration in overweight or obese women.' "
"There are more than 100 health conditions including up to 17 cancers, heart disease, obesity, dementia, high blood pressure and depression associated with low vitamin D levels."
