3 Things you (ABSOLUTELY) need to have good VITAMIN D levels

Vitamin D deficiency is a global issue affecting around a billion people worldwide, with nearly 50% of the population exhibiting insufficient levels. But do we truly understand how serious this issue is and what actions we can take to address it? Vitamin D, essential for the absorption of calcium and phosphorus, plays a crucial role in bone health, immune function, and overall well-being. Yet, many are unaware of its significance or even that they are suffering from this deficiency.

How can we determine if we are deficient or insufficient in vitamin D, and what's the difference between the two? A deficiency refers to exceedingly low levels, below 30 ng/ml, while insufficiency is at a higher range but still not enough for optimal health. The best way to assess our status is through a specific blood test to measure 25-hydroxyvitamin D, the standard marker for evaluating vitamin D levels in the body.

Once a deficiency or insufficiency has been identified, the question arises: what steps can we take to improve our vitamin D levels? In addition to moderate sun exposure, crucial for activating vitamin D in our skin, incorporating vitamin D-rich foods and, in some cases, supplementing with vitamin D3 are key strategies. Vitamin D3, especially when combined with oils like MCT or olive oil, is preferred for its better absorption and effectiveness.

But what are the true benefits of maintaining optimal vitamin D levels? Beyond bone health, vitamin D is vital for the immune system, helping to prevent infections and chronic diseases, including certain types of cancer and autoimmune disorders. Its influence extends to reducing inflammation and supporting healthy metabolic processes and gene expression.

Now, what are the most effective dietary sources of vitamin D? Fatty fish such as salmon, tuna, and sardines top the list, followed by moderate consumption of egg yolks and some cheeses. However, for those with deficiency or insufficiency, supplementation becomes necessary to achieve desired levels more efficiently and quickly.

Adding seamlessly to our understanding, recognizing the "Signs Of Vitamin D Deficiency," "Signs Your Body Is Begging for Vitamin D," and "Symptoms of Vitamin D3 Deficiency" is paramount. These signals, often overlooked, indicate our body's plea for attention and care. From fatigue and bone pain to mood changes and frequent infections, these symptoms alert us to the critical role vitamin D plays in our health. Addressing these signs by consulting with a healthcare provider and taking appropriate measures can lead to significant improvements in our wellbeing and prevention of more severe health issues down the line.

When you sunbathe the natural oil on your skin is what makes the vitamin d with the sunlight, so don’t wash it off before you sunbathe.
