Thanks for stopping by, this is a 2 minute classroom and today we are talking about Vitamin D.
You’ve probably heard that you should spend more time in the sun to get more vitamin D, but sunlight doesn’t actually give you vitamin D
Instead, UV rays in the sunlight cause the cholesterol in your skin to be converted into Vitamin D. So you actually make vitamin D with the help of the sun, which is pretty cool.
But that’s not the only way to get Vitamin D. You can also get it from many types of fish such as salmon, tuna, and sardines as well as egg yolk. And some foods like milk, cereals, and orange juice don’t naturally contain vitamin D but are often fortified with it, which means that Vitamin D has been added into their ingredients.
You can even take a vitamin D supplement if you are not getting enough from other sources.
This is great news because vitamin D helps you in many ways, including:
Boosting your mood
Bolstering your immune system
Improving brain function
Helping lower blood pressure and risk of heart disease
And Strengthening your teeth and bones by aiding in the absorption of calcium
So whether it's from your food, a supplement, or your body’s process in the sunlight, make sure you get your daily vitamin D.
Thanks for watching and I’ll catch you next time.

[@Badenhawk]

Dude, I haven't been getting notified. Wtf. I'll adjust settings.

[@2MC]

Well, I haven't been posting much, so you may have seen everything recently, haha.

[@christiankane5802]

Lets not get this twisted the Sun provides us with everything

[@RacecarsAndRicefish]

I guess that makes a lot more sense than vitamins traveling that far through space and the atmosphere to reach us

[@2MC]

It really does. I had never thought about it, but just learned it and thought I would share.

[@PunksDeadURnext]

my brain dsen't tell me that i need vitamin D

[@chipesh]

The Vitamin D in seafood comes from smaller life forms that have made it from the Sun! Where do you think they get it?

[@Badenhawk]

Have you seen any of the literature suggesting Vit D is also associated with lung health? They were finding a coorelation during Covid that people with higher levels of D weren't getting as severe of symptoms as those who were deficient. As such, we were actually giving our nursing home patients about 10k units Vit D introvenously everyday for a week when they tested positive. I don't suggest this except as directed by a doctor. 3-5k units a day is plenty for someone who is deficient.

[@2MC]

I hadn't heard that, but i know vitamin D has a myriad of benefits. I have heard that many people are deficient in vitamin D, but don't know how accurate that is.

[@Robholyoake3778]

Haha , it was a common flu. This what happens with every viruses, sun benefits for viruses is nothing New ...

[@j7ndominica051]

I sunbathe ever other day to now in the summer. You could then argue that plants don't grow from the sun either because there is no material transfer from the sun. And yet they apparently do. Fish livers are hard to afford now as the inflation rises. And so is milk to get any meaninful concentration of the nutrients. Milk is mostly water.

[@Vikramaditya_108]

👌❣️

[@2MC]

👍 🙏

[@jasoncdebussy]

So essentially sunlight DOES give you vitamin D! 😂

[@KeikoBushnell]

If you think workout machines give you muscles ... Sure. (The sun helps YOU make it)

[@jasoncdebussy]

​@@KeikoBushnellYes, of course the sun helps YOU make it! Derrrrr

[@JoyJoy-pj4jf]
