Vitamin D deficiency can be related to increased onset of dementia, as vitamin D plays a role in preventing oxidation and inflammation in the body," Avena explains.
////////////////////In addition, Avena says that vitamin D receptors often appear in the same area of the brain that is responsible for the formation of new memories. "This may be compelling evidence that vitamin D is related to the proper creation of new memories," she adds. "Compounding this with vitamin D's possible role in preventing dementia, it seems even more plausible.*"
//////////////////////Vitamin D is most often found in three places: the sun, food, and supplements. When UVB rays from sunlight hit the skin, they prompt the body to form vitamin D on its own. Certain foods such as milk, and eggs also contain vitamin D naturally or are fortified with it. However, Avena says, it can be hard to get the daily recommended dose of vitamin D (200 to 600 I.U.s, according to the NIH) from diet and sun exposure alone.
