Arthritis

Question: What can they tell me about arthritis?

Answer: They say it is related to a deficiency of certain vitamins B3 and D3. This can be a result of an unhealthy diet and excessive weight, which subsequently triggers an imbalance in the body. If this is changed, the body would naturally produce enough of the lacking vitamins. Oranges are a good source of vitamin C.

Q: What about sun exposure for D3?

A: They say yes, but that would only address the consequence, not the cause. If a person wanted more vitamin D3, the most effective way would be through sunlight and creams, not through supplements.

Q: Can they develop a map of the world and notice if there are higher occurrences of arthritis in certain areas?

A: England, Iceland, Ireland, Scotland, and the Netherlands. But not so much due to a lack of sunlight, but rather due to poor diet and consequently insufficient vitamin intake through food like fruit.

Q: Did they focus only on Europe?

A: Yes.

Q: Could it be expanded to a broader scope?

A: In the northern part of the world, if we were to look for a pattern.

Q: So, the southern hemisphere is more abundant in vitamin-rich food?

A: Yes.
