Why Young Adults Should Pay Attention to Vitamin D Levels

If you’re under 55, it’s important to be aware of the rising rates of colon cancer in early adulthood and middle age. Recent studies have shown a significant increase in the likelihood of being diagnosed with colon cancer at a younger age. While the exact reasons for this trend are still being investigated, one interesting finding relates to vitamin D levels in the blood.

According to Dr. Natasha Bhuyan, vice president of in-office care at One Medical, individuals diagnosed with colon cancer often have low vitamin D levels. While the connection between vitamin D deficiency and colon cancer is still being researched, studies have suggested that low vitamin D levels may increase the risk of developing colon cancer and negatively impact the survival of patients with the disease.

To determine if you have a vitamin D deficiency, a simple blood test is required. Given that nearly a billion people worldwide are deficient in vitamin D, it may be worth asking your healthcare provider to check your levels during your next check-up.

Vitamin D plays a crucial role in maintaining both physical and mental health. It helps in building strong bones, supporting the immune system, and promoting mental well-being. There are various ways to ensure adequate vitamin D levels, such as consuming a diet rich in vitamin D or fortified foods, taking supplements, or spending time in the sun to allow the body to naturally produce vitamin D. However, it’s essential to practice sun safety to reduce the risk of skin cancer.

The increasing rates of colon cancer diagnoses in individuals under 55 are concerning, with statistics showing a significant rise from 11% in 1995 to 20% in 2019. By staying informed and proactive about your health, you can empower yourself to make informed decisions. Consider incorporating more vitamin D-rich foods into your diet and discussing vitamin D testing with your healthcare provider to ensure optimal levels for overall health and well-being.
