The Sunshine Vitamin

September 01, 2015

Summer is coming to an end, Sunshine is a rarity even during the English summertime but we can 100% gurantee it wont be showing its face this winter. I'm sure you have all heard people saying " just getting my vitamin D " while they lay in the sun. Thats because 80% - 90% of the vitamin D the body gets is obtained through exposure to the sun. Vitamin D is used for preventing and treating rickets, a disease that is caused simply by a lack of vitamin D. It is also used for treating weak bones (osteoporosis) bone pain and bone loss. Other conditions Vitamin D is used for is high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, obesity, muscle weakness, multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthiritus, COPD, asthama, bronchitis, PMS , tooth and gum disease, automimmune diseases and preventing cancer.

So how does it work?

Vitamin D is required for the regulation of the minerals Calcium and phosphorus found in the body. Vitamin D helps the body  absorb these important minerals.Sun exposure is an easy and relaible way for most people to get a daily dose of Vitamin D, exposure of the hands, face, arms and legs to the sunlight two to three times a week for about one fourth of the time it would take to develop a mild sunburn. The nescessary exposure time varies depending on the persons age , skin type, season and time of day.

We can all agree that getting time to lay in the sunshine isn't as easy as it should be and thats where vitamin D supplements come in handy. One tablet a day ranging from 4ooiu to 5000iu are avaliable in most health stores, the strength will determine on your health, where you live ( people living in northern latitudes will need more due to lack of sun light) skin type and your age. older people will need more than younger people and if you have a low immune system you will need a higher strength altogether.
