Vitamin D

So I recently hurt my back and my foot.... I had a pinched nerve in my back and it was making my hip out of line, one leg shorter than the other....  then I was running to work last week and caught a stress fracture in my foot. Needless to say this put my plans back a bit.   I had to stop working out completely the Chiropractor told me.  But I used this time to rewind and get more understanding of my plight...  I have some bone strengthening to do as well as muscle strength development.  I have some bone building to do.   My bones are not as strong as they should be... considering the diet I had as a kid growing up during the formulative years of ones life ( age 0 - 10 )  I was not eating healthy , I had your typical american diet.  Full of starches, no nutrion , empty calories, full of sugar foods.  So now as my back is finally getting straight.  and as my stomach and core is getter stronger and making my posture better, I am having to address my bone weaknesses.  I need to really up the intake of Vitamin D rich foods and give my bones more of what they need for nutrition.  Not to mention Vitamin D is also great for my lungs.  I am thinking maybe this is also the reason why I have been able to crack my knucles all these years.  My bones are weak and lacking the nutrients they need.  I remember my knuckles starting cracking back when I was 14 around the same time that I started having all of my knee problems.  Well , I am on my path with this now.... I am going to up my Vitamin D intake naturally and see how this helps my knuckles and my knee problems  as I continue on in my goals with body builiding.   The doc said I can start to ease my way back into working out now this week.  So let us begin....  I will keep you posted on my progress.  

 

Peace
