When the tan lines fade what do you need to do?
Well for me it means I need to book another sunshine break. More importantly, it is a sign that autumn and winter are right around the corner.
That means my vitamin D levels need to be increased.
DON’T SWITCH OFF JUST YET!
Is your health worth at least 30pence a day?
If yes read on……….
What is vitamin D?
It is usually called the sunshine vitamin as we get it through the sun.
Vitamin D manages calcium in your blood, bones, and in your gut.
It helps cells all over your body communicate properly.
Vitamin D mainly comes from your skin as said, we get it when we are exposed to sunlight.
After that, your body goes through a number of chemical processes to change it so that your body can use it effectively.
How?
Your skin contains a cholesterol substance called provitamin D3 that reacts with the ultraviolet-B (or UVB) rays in sunlight to form vitamin D3
Why is vitamin D so important?
Your body must have vitamin D to absorb calcium and promote bone growth. Too little vitamin D results in soft bones in children (rickets), in adults (osteomalacia).
The Role of Vitamin D in Disease Prevention
A growing body of evidence shows that vitamin D plays a crucial role in disease prevention and maintaining optimal health.
There are about 30,000 genes in your body, and vitamin D affects nearly 3,000 of them, as well as vitamin D receptors located throughout your body.
According to one large-scale study, optimal vitamin D levels can slash your risk of cancer by as much as 60 percent.
Keeping your levels optimized can help prevent at least 16 different types of cancer, including pancreatic, lung, ovarian, prostate, and skin cancers.
Vitamin D can build your defenses against cancer by:
- Enhancing the self-destruction of mutated cells (which can replicate and cause cancer)
- Slowing down the production and spread of cancer cells
- Helping in the differentiation of cells (cancer cells are not differentiated)
- Preventing the formation of new blood vessels from pre-existing ones (this can help stop the progress of benign tumors into cancerous ones)
Vitamin D can also help reduce the risk of other conditions as well, including type 2 diabetes, chronic inflammation, age-related macular degeneration (the leading cause of blindness), and Alzheimer’s disease.
SO now you know how important it is, how do you make sure you are getting the correct amount for optimal health?
Well as you may have read, my posts explain vitamins are not all made the same or to the regulations that they should for maximum absorbency.
The VITAMIN D I recommend……… Taken once a day with two and a half months supply in each pot £23.00 Inclusive of postage.
84 tablets in a pot and dosage is once a day.
£23.00 Inclusive of UK postage.
THAT WORKS OUT PER DAY AT less than 30 pence a day!!!!!
Just email me and we can get some to you to last through the winter.
Its cheaper than three months on a hot island.
