Vitamin D and it's affects on Men


Performance of the brain has been studied and looked upon for many years; new European research that was tested with more than 3,000 European men has clearly suggested vitamin D has the ability to boost cognitive functions located in the brain of middle aged and older men. A vitamin proofed for keeping bones strong and clean, new research shows how memory, strength, and the ability of think quick, all relate to the normal intake of vitamin D.
Supplements, pills, fish, and a day at the beach all are different ways for the human body to receive an amount of vitamin D. Strong links between lower blood levels of vitamin D and a poor performance on a test assessing processing speed, and a measure of how well information is transported around the brain, from nerve cell to nerve cell. "It underpins how rapidly your brain can process information," says lead author David Lee. "It's a very sensitive test. It's very sensitive to aging as people grow older." Basically the men that were tested with high levels of Vitamin D had performed better in a simple pen and paper test that measured attention and how fast the brain processes information. With many Canadians with a very low Vitamin D count, this study has put a wide range of thought in the idea that vitamin D could possibly save many from memory lose, and the power to keep the brain at a normal, non decreasing state. Even though this isn’t an official report, the convenience of this product may be extraordinary and at the most if this isn’t true just a large reminder to take a healthy vitamin, the vitamin D itself is harmless and beneficial if taken without expecting these outcomes.
"We can’t at this stage say there is a biological link between vitamin D and how well your brain works", says Lee, but the idea that men will began to mix activities, the outdoors, and this vitamin to achieve this goal is a great idea even if it doesn’t work properly. Nothing can be lost with exercise and the outdoors even if this amazing product is not achieved. Without anyone taking this study to an extreme, this can bring better health benefits to the men all around the world, and the idea of spending hours sun tanning to receive this vitamin is out of the question, "We still saw this association between vitamin D levels and cognitive performance."
