4...  Importance of Vitamin D on your Health
Vitamin D deficiency is extremely common among pregnant women. How much Vitamin D should you take during pregnancy?
 What if I told you that taking Vitamin D may help reduce your risk for diabetes, heart disease, gut and immune problems, excess weight, weak bones, as well as prostate, breast, and colon cancer? .
What if I also told you that this same vitamin may reduce your risk for food allergies, infections, autoimmune disorders, and brain and nervous system disorders such as schizophrenia and multiple sclerosis?
Now, new research shows that Vitamin D may play critical roles in reducing additional health risks during pregnancy for both the mother and the child.

5...  Who's at Risk for Vitamin D Deficiency?
Before we look closer to vitamin D deficiency in pregnancy, it's important to note that a variety of lifestyle factors have also been documented to play a role in Vitamin D deficiency such as:
  • darker skin color
  • clothing type (such as wearing a veil, or living in cold environments)
  • heavy use of sunscreen
  • living in northern latitudes (roughly estimated as everything north of Florida)
  • & living in areas with high urban pollution (smog)

Beyond lifestyle factors, the best ways to improve your Vitamin D intake is to expose your skin to the sun without developing sunburn, to take vitamin D supplements, and to increase your intake of dietary sources of vitamin D such as fortified milk & cereals, as well as fatty, oily fish like salmon, mackeral or sardines.
Some experts recommend that individuals preferentially seek vitamin D from exposure to sunlight or supplements because dietary sources of vitamin D are not likely to provide high enough levels to prevent health risks beyond rickets and weak bones.
