now some of the symptoms from a vitamin d deficiency are very similar to a calcium deficiency probably because you can cause a calcium deficiency if you don’t have enough vitamin d so i want to go to the list to see if you might need more calcium or vitamin d first of all when you have low calcium you could have similar symptoms to having peripheral neuropathy like like a diabetic would have numbness and tingling in the fingers and the toes muscle spasm charlie horse you can have achy muscles very similar to a vitamin d deficiency because vitamin d directs where calcium goes does it go into the muscle or not and so if you’re low in vitamin d you’re going to have a lot of muscle aches but definitely in your lower back okay your lower back is going to be very very weak achy painful you’re also going to have bone pain it could be anywhere in your body also with vitamin d you’re going to have more inflammation throughout the body but you’re not going to necessarily have that with low calcium now with a calcium deficiency you can have confusion spasm in the throat you might have a hoarseness or a chronic cough that is low calcium you can also be very very stiff you can also have tetane which is kind of a quivering of the muscle you can also have these red spots like little bruising spots throughout the body as well now with low vitamin d that can affect your mood you can feel sad depressed anxiety with low vitamin d you can have high blood pressure also with low vitamin d you might have a hard time going to sleep like you’re really tired but your head cannot go to sleep that means you need calcium now with low vitamin d it’s going to affect your immune system you’re going to be more susceptible to getting sick and another way to look at this is from your diet are you avoiding all dairy we get a lot of calcium from dairy but you also can get calcium from dark leafy green vegetables so if you’re not consuming any dairy let’s say you have an allergy and if you don’t like vegetables right there you’re probably going to be low on calcium also calcium is high in the fish trout it’s also high in clams and if you have high blood pressure and you’re taking those calcium channel blockers that can actually create a calcium deficiency as well so these are just little clues to kind of narrow in on what you might be deficient in now i’ve done a lot more videos on vitamin d than calcium but the reason why most people are deficient in vitamin d is they don’t get enough sun because it’s almost impossible to get your vitamin d from from your diet you could potentially do it if you consume a lot of fatty fish salmon things like that but rarely do people do that but it mainly relates to the sun if you’re overweight if you’re older if your skin is darker you’re going to have more of a vitamin d deficiency now another point i want to bring up calcium calcium is also influenced by magnesium if you have too much or too little magnesium you can have a calcium deficiency so it’s not just calcium in your diet okay it could be your low vitamin d so you have to look at all these factors when you’re trying to identify um why you might have a certain symptom now the last point i want to bring up is your ph if you’re too alkaline you’re not going to be able to absorb calcium so you may have high levels of calcium but it’s unavailable to you as well one last thing if you’re low on vitamin k2 calcium can’t be transported out of the joints it can’t be transported out of the blood but in this video i just wanted to differentiate this calcium from vitamin d deficiencies hey before you go real quick i have a course entitled how to bulletproof your immune system it’s a free course i want you to take it and here’s why here’s you here is your environment everyone is focused on this over here avoiding your environment but what about here what about strengthening your immune system that’s what’s missing this course will show you how to bulletproof yourself and so you can tolerate and resist your environment much better by strengthening your own immune system i put a link down in the description right down below check it out and get signed up today
