Vitamin D is very important to our musculoskeletal function and our immune system. Yet many of us are deficient in our levels of vitamin D. In fact, 27% of the population is vitamin D deficient.
80% of our vitamin D intake comes from the sun, so in the depths of winter, we expect a higher percentage of UK residents will drop below normal parameters.
We recently covered a news article about the relationship between the weather and our joint pain.
While studies have now proven that weather has an impact on the health of our joints, what exactly can be done about it?
Winter is starting to take grip and while many are planning for the festive season, others are dreaming of hitting the slopes.
Winter is a risky business, especially for those thrill seekers who embrace the hazardous mountains every season. On average, 600,000 people are injured each year as a result of skiing and snowboarding, with the over 50’s making the top of the table!
Recent studies have proven bad weather can make our joints more painful.
Changes in barometric pressure, temperature, and even rain can, not only cause joint pain but also have a further impact on our bodies.
Scientists from the University of Manchester found arthritis sufferers were 20% more likely to suffer pain on days that are humid and windy with low atmospheric pressure than on average weather days.
The study was also conducted on suffers of fibromyalgia, neuropathic pain, and migraines.
As our lives become busier and busier, our ability to control our downtime is slipping away from our grasp. The true effect on our social and work life is often beyond our consciousness. Even when being conscious is the problem.
Your age, lifestyle, environment and diet all play a part in influencing the amount of sleep you need but what happens when controlling your behaviour patterns lead to further issues.
