How Vitamin D Helps People With Lipedema
π Regulates adipose (fat) tissueβs health
- Vitamin D controls fatty acid oxidation and uncoupling protein expression, which regulates energy metabolism in adipose tissue.
π Helps boost your immune system
- Vitamin D helps the immune system fight off bacteria and viruses.
π Good for bone, muscle, and nervous system
- It helps the body absorb calcium, which is necessary for bone density and strength. Vitamin D also helps regulate minerals and maintain skeletal homeostasis.
Studies show that people with lipedema are typically lacking Vitamin D, and adding more into your daily routine may be worth talking to your doctor about.
Getting vitamin D naturally can be difficult in the colder months, so bundle up and take a walk daily and talk to your medical team about adding a supplement to your daily routine!
