Vitamin D
n D and Health
Vitamin D prevents following diseases:-
·
Osteoporosis,
·
Depression,
·
Prostate cancer,
·
Breast cancer,
·
Diabetes and obesity.
Vitamin D is perhaps the single most underrated nutrient in the world of
nutrition. That's probably because it's free, your body makes it when sunlight
touches your skin.
Drug companies can't sell you sunlight, so
there's no promotion of its health benefits. Truth is, most people don't know
the real story on vitamin D and health.
·
Vitamin D is
produced by your skin in response to exposure to ultraviolet radiation from
natural sunlight.
·
The healing
rays of natural sunlight (that generate vitamin D in your skin) cannot
penetrate glass.
·
So you don't
generate vitamin D when sitting in your car or home.
·
It is nearly
impossible to get adequate amounts of vitamin D from your diet. Sunlight
exposure is the only reliable way to generate vitamin D in your own body.
·
A person would have to drink ten tall glasses
of vitamin D fortified milk each day just to get minimum levels of vitamin D
into their diet.
·
The further
you live from the equator, the longer exposure you need to the sun in order to generate
vitamin D. Canada, the UK and most U.S. states are far from the equator.
·
People with dark skin pigmentation may need 20
- 30 times as much exposure to sunlight as fair skinned people to generate the
same amount of vitamin D. That's why prostate cancer is epidemic among black men -- it's a simple,
but widespread, sunlight deficiency.
·
Sufficient
levels of vitamin D are crucial for calcium absorption in your intestines.
Without sufficient vitamin D, your body cannot absorb calcium, rendering
calcium supplements useless.
·
Chronic
vitamin D deficiency cannot be reversed overnight, it takes months of vitamin D
supplementation and sunlight exposure to rebuild the body's bones and nervous
system.
·
Even weak sunscreens (SPF=8) block your body's ability to
generate vitamin D by 95%. This is how sunscreen products actually cause
disease -- by creating a critical vitamin deficiency in the body.
·
It is
impossible to generate too much vitamin D in your body from sunlight exposure:
your body will self-regulate and only generate what it needs.
·
If it hurts
to press firmly on your sternum, you may be suffering from chronic vitamin D deficiency
right now.
·
Vitamin D is
"activated" in your body by your kidneys and liver before it can be
used.
·
Having
kidney disease or liver damage can greatly impair body's ability to activate
circulating vitamin D.
·
The
sunscreen industry doesn't want you to know that your body actually needs
sunlight exposure because that realization would mean lower sales of sunscreen
products.
·
Even though
vitamin D is one of the most powerful healing chemicals in your body, your body
makes it absolutely free. No prescription required.
