The Importance Of Sunshine In Our Lives

A rapidly growing body of research that clearly shows Vitamin D is critical for good health and disease prevention. UVB (Sunshine) exposure is the healthiest way to optimize our Vitamin D levels, but if you cannot use the Sun directly or a tanning bed, then it is advisable to use an oral supplement in combination with Vitamin K2. Vitamin D supplements are among the least expensive, and the health impact of deficiency is so broad and detrimental that it simply makes little sense to avoid them.

Part of the reason I recommend getting your Vitamin from UVB exposure, either from the sun or a tanning bed opposed to orally, is because you’ll reap additional benefits above and beyond the Vitamin D.

Ultraviolet (UV) radiation has been used since ancient times to treat various diseases, and it’s known that a large number of molecules in your skin interact with and absorb UV light.

Peter Robert Ebeling, head of the department of medicine, School of Clinical Sciences and professor of medicine at Monash University, suggests that Sunshine may have largely unknown health effects, such as impacting your body’s biological rhythms, reducing physical stresses on our body’s cells, and increasing heat production.

Sun exposure also alters the activity of your immune system in a way that reduces inflammation and likely helps protect against certain inflammatory diseases. Sun exposure also has pain-killing (analgesic) properties, and research suggests UV exposure converts to metabolic energy (i.e. we may “ingest” energy directly from the Sun, like plants do).

Mr. Duncan mentions “improved energy” as a benefit from optimizing his Vitamin D using a tanning bed, and most people would agree that spending some time outdoors on a bright Sunny day provides a near instant boost of energy.

There is little doubt in my mind that measuring your Vitamin D performance and taking steps to optimize your level is one of the easiest and least expensive things you can possibly do for your health.

Sunshine is good for us.

Have a terrific weekend.
