Giving your body the opportunity to produce vitamin D will get you healthy

The Bright Side Of Summer: Vitamin D

The best source of Vitamin D is sunshine. During the summer months, we automatically feel better. Is it the warmer weather or is it because we get exposed to more of the sun's rays that makes our skin produce vitamin D, which is vital for so many processes in the body.

It was believed that vitamin D was mainly responsible for healthy bones and the deficiency of it caused rickets and osteoporosis. Out of 30,000 genes in the human body, 2,000 of them are directly influenced by vitamin D. The most rampant one in the winter months in the northern states is Seasonal Affective Disorder (S.A.D.) The less time we spend exposed to the sun, the more of our vitamin D gets reduced. With recent research, we now know many diseases are associated with vitamin D deficiency here's a list of some of them:

Cancer
Schizophrenia
Hypertension
Obesity
Muscle pain
Athletic performance
Eczema
Pre eclampsia
Asthma
Depression
Multiple Sclerosis
Colds
Aging
Insomnia
Cavities
Macular degeneration
Seizures
Cystic fibrosis
Alzheimer's disease
Heart disease
Rheumatoid arthritis
Crohn's disease
Tuberculosis
Psoriasis
Hearing loss
Periodontal disease
Myopia
Fertility
Migraines
Autism
Diabetes 1 and 2
Flu
Septicemia

Besides helping with the above, the short list of benefits you can expect from healthy levels of vitamin D are:

stronger bones
lower risks of many different forms of cancer,
stave off multiple sclerosis and autoimmune disorders
reduced infections.

The best way is always going to be through natural sunshine. The second best is through specific tanning beds that produce UVB rays and finally your third option is supplements.

Go out into sun as much as possible this summer and enjoy the many benefits of the sun's rays helping your body produce vitamin D.

Do you notice a difference in your mood in the summer versus in the winter?
