THE IMPORTANCE OF VITAMIN D

What is Vitamin D used for??

One of its main functions is to regulate the absorption of two essential minerals such as calcium and phosphorus.

What does this mean?

That by optimally mineralizing the entire skeleton, diagnostic pictures of osteoporosis are avoided, thus preventing fractures and in the most serious cases osteomalacia (softening of bones).

There is more:

That, in its D3 form, seems to have a positive influence on the fight against Covid, thanks to its ability to raise the often deficient immune defenses also due to the often inadequate levels of the aforementioned vitamin.

This means that you potentially risk getting sick more frequently and experiencing low levels of physical and emotional energy.

There also appears to be a correlation between weight loss and adequate vitamin D3 levels: this is a further benefit recognized by a recent study whose results demonstrated how overweight subjects after a period of supplementation of vit. D3, have raised their levels systematically too low and at the same time have experienced a decrease in fat especially in the abdominal area.

How to explain this correlation?

Vitamin D3 activates leptin, also known as the satiety hormone as it tells the brain when our stomach is full.

It goes without saying that adequate levels of vitamin D3 lead to having more leptin in circulation and therefore less sense of hunger even in a low-calorie diet condition.

That said, Did you know that very few foods in nature contain vitamin D?

It is found in fish, egg yolk, latte, cheeses, oysters and prawns, while the only vegetable source comes from mushrooms.

Usually no more than 10-20% of the daily requirement comes from food and for individual choices of food variety, both for malabsorption caused by intestinal diseases or inflammation, use of certain types of drugs, smoking and alcohol.

It is also synthesized by the body mainly thanks to exposure to UVB rays from sunlight.

Unfortunately, today's lifestyle does not usually allow us exposure to direct sunlight to an adequate extent, least of all now that we are heading towards the colder seasons.

This is why one can easily run into its deficiency.
