Vitamin D is a vital nutrient needed for strong bones

Vitamin D is a very important part of your diet. It helps regulate the amount of calcium and phosphate in the body, which are required for healthy bones and teeth.

You get most of your vitamin D from sunlight on your skin, which is then able to produce vitamin D itself, however, you can also get smaller amounts of vitamin D from oily fish, eggs, and other food items. Check the labels; many spreads, breakfast cereals, and milks are fortified with nutrients such as vitamin D.

Vitamin D deficiency can lead to various health problems

If your vitamin D levels get too low, it can cause your bones to become thin, brittle or misshapen. There are various bone conditions associated with vitamin D deficiency including rickets, osteomalacia and osteoporosis.

Recent research is revealing the important roles vitamin D plays in other bodily functions too. Some observational studies have associated low blood levels of vitamin D with:

Increased risk of death from cardiovascular disease
Cognitive impairment in older adults
Type 1 and type 2 diabetes
Multiple Sclerosis
Ongoing trials aim to determine whether vitamin D supplementation will have a beneficial effect on such conditions. If you have any questions about your vitamin D intake, please consult with your physician.

What are the main causes of vitamin D deficiency?

Not having enough vitamin D can lead to health problems. Vitamin D regulates calcium levels, which is very important for strong bones and teeth.

You may be at higher risk of vitamin D deficiency if:

Your sunlight exposure is limited – the body makes most vitamin D when the skin is exposed to sunlight. So people who spend a lot of time indoors, live in northern latitudes, or wear clothes that cover a large proportion of the skin are at risk the most
You follow a vegan diet – most natural sources of vitamin D are animal-based such as fish, egg yolks, cheese, milk, and liver
You have dark skin – people with darker skin have higher levels of melanin, which reduces the skins ability to make vitamin D from sun exposure
You are overweight– vitamin D is soluble in fat and can be absorbed from the blood by fat cells. This is more likely to affect those with a body mass index (BMI) over 30
There are some really easy ways to prevent and treat vitamin D deficiency

Spending 15 to 30 minutes outside with your skin exposed to sunlight, just two or three times a week is enough to produce the essential amount of vitamin D to keep your body levels at an optimum. Try to get outdoors more often and spend some time under the sun. Remember to keep hydrated when outdoors and to protect your eyes from sun exposure.

If you find it difficult to get regular sun exposure, you can get small amounts of vitamin D from oily fish such as trout, smoked salmon, swordfish, salmon, mackerel, and halibut. You can also get vitamin D from Portobello mushrooms, fortified cereals, tofu, caviar, dairy products, eggs, soy yoghurt and soymilk. You can also take vitamin D supplements or cod liver oil.

Myths And Facts About Weight Loss

About weight loss

Weight loss has been a major concern of urban population. It's a welcome fact though, that the general population has become aware of the consequences of obesity. But with awareness comes half knowledge, which is dangerous. Here are some myths and facts about weight loss.

Myth: No more fast food

Maybe the extra cheese, french fries, soft drinks and pizzas are out, but you don't have to stay clear of fast food completely to stay on your diet. If it part of us now, embrace it, but judiciously. With better options now, one can relax a bit. Get a salad as a starter or choose the grilled chicken over fried, breaded chicken or scrape off the sauce and dressings as much as possible.

Myth: If you eat and exercise regularly, you will never gain weight

You need to be willing to make lifestyle changes and dietary adjustments as you age, change, and grow. As body metabolism slows down with age as early as 25 years onwards, one has to either eat less or exercise more to avoid gaining weight. The body experiences drastic changes around 40 years of age. You food and exercise plan should be flexible since your body metabolism will continue to slow down. The best thing is to be aware about new weight loss modalities which keep coming and take consultation with weight loss consultants to counter never-ending supply of conflicting weight-loss advice.

Myth: Carbohydrates make you fat

It's the calories and not the carbs that make you fat. Carbohydrates that contain a lot of sugar and fat are what make you fat. Unprocessed carbs make you feel full from fiber in it unlike the processed carbs. For example, whole grain cereals are more filling and makes you feel satisfied longer than polished cereals, though both have the same amount of calories. What you want to do is eat carbs in moderation.

Myth: Massive weight loss can happen with technologies like u lipo, I lipo etc

The fact is that there is so shortcut to weight loss. One has to be disciplined and motivated to lose weight. These instruments only help marginally if at all. These have not been tested for massive weight loss and their safety profile has not been studied. There are many unanswered questions like

Does the fat cells break for sure and is it constant for all?
Can the body get rid of all the fat content which comes out after breaking off the fat?
Is there any risk of raised cholesterol in your body during that time?
Is there any risk to heart during this period?
Is it safe in the long run? In my opinion, these technologies should be used only for smaller fat deposits from where the fat content can be cleared by your lymphatic system.
Myth: Limit your starch intake when trying to lose weight

Fact: Many foods high in starch are low in fat and calories such as: bread, rice, pasta, beans, fruits, some vegetables (like potatoes).These foods become high in fat and calories when eaten in large portion sizes. Additional toppings (high in fat) such as butter or mayonnaise also add to the calories. Foods high in starch (also called complex carbohydrates) are an important source of energy for your body.

Expert advice: To lose weight, one has to understand that being overweight is unhealthy. Be motivated and look at the long term goal. Consult dietician, psychologist and obesity consultant for correct advice. Do not fall trap to the beautiful catchy advertisement because many of them have no scientific basis and are out there to sell their products. Only proven treatment for weight loss apart from diet and exercises are bariatric surgery. Intra-gastric balloon therapy and liposuction / tummy tuck surgery to an extent.
