Vitamin D - The Most Important Vitamin for Weight Loss
Most of us do everything to keep our weight in check, be it gymming or following a clean diet. Sometimes, things don't work out as planned and we struggle to lose weight. This leads to increased stress which further worsens the situation.
One of the reasons for this could be an underlying Vitamin D deficiency. A lot of people are not aware of it.
Did you know? The majority of Indians are Vitamin D deficient.
Yes, it's true that most of us never get our Vitamin D checked and we never realize that we are deficient.
Vitamin D keeps your hormones level under check and helps enhance weight loss and decrease body fat. Simultaneously, when you lose weight, your body's capability to absorb Vitamin D also increases. So, in a way, once you start having the right dose of Vitamin D, your body's absorption rate also increases.
The role of Vitamin D is not limited to weight loss only. Vitamin D deficiency can lead to serious consequences such as weak immunity, weak bones, depression, muscle loss, or even chronic conditions like cancer.
So, what is the best way to ensure you get your daily dose of Vitamin D?
Simple, go out and absorb the sunlight for 10 minutes daily. It will fulfill your daily recommended requirement of Vitamin D.
You don't need a pill to fulfill this requirement. If you can go out in the Sun for 10 minutes, preferably in the morning or mid-day for 3 days a week, it will give you your daily dosage of Vitamin D (400-600 IU per day).
