Let's talk vitamin D!!!!
This is long, but I want you all to understand the importance of Vitamin D. Did you know that
vitamin D is one of the few vitamins our body can make on its own? In order to do so, Vitamin D needs sunlight and cholesterol. Nearly every single cell in the human body has a receptor site for this vitamin.
Vitamin D is a crucial nutrient that our body can synthesize when our skin is exposed to sunlight, specifically UVB rays. In places with limited sunlight, especially during winter months, like nebraska, it can be difficult to produce enough vitamin D leading to deficiencies. It is estimated that 50% of the world's population is deficient.
Vitamin D helps maintain the immune system, supports bone health, and plays a role in regulating mood. Its influence on the immune system can make it especially important in preventing infections like colds and flu, and it has been shown to help reduce the severity of conditions like covid-19.
Low levels of vitamin D can increase the risk of seasonal affective disorder (SAD), a type of depression that affects some people during the fall and winter months.
Additionally, vitamin D is linked to decreased risk of several chronic conditions, including type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and even neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's. Vitamin D also helps with the regulation of blood pressure and weight management.
Because vitamin D deficiency is relatively common, particularly in regions with limited sunlight or during winter months, it's often recommended to get it from dietary sources such as fatty fish, fortified foods, and supplements, especially if direct sunlight exposure is insufficient.
