Let in the Vitamin D

Days are getting colder and shorter, and some days are sunny and gorgeous when we leave for work/school in the morning, but when we return, it will be dark outside, thanks to daylight saving. This makes getting enough Vitamin D for our bodies difficult. However, before we can grasp the importance of Vitamin D, we must first understand what Vitamin D is. It controls the quantity of calcium and phosphate in our blood and aids calcium absorption. Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that can be found naturally in some foods and in some dietary supplements, but it is mostly obtained from ultraviolet (UV) rays absorbed through the skin. Sunlight, diet, and supplements are our main sources of Vitamin D. Sunbathing or getting out in the sun for 15-20 minutes is considered healthy for our bodies to naturally obtain Vitamin D. Osteomalacia, a disease that weakens bones and causes bone and muscle pain or weakness, can be caused by not getting enough of it. Today, we'll go over how to get vitamin D during the winter and how to get the correct amount of it.

Vitamin D, like all other vitamins, is essential to human health. However, we don't want you to overdo it, which is why knowing how much to take is critical. Vitamin D levels that are too high can put our health at danger by creating hypercalcemia, which weakens bones, causes kidney stones, and interferes with how our hearts and brains function. We offer a great supplement that can help you obtain enough Vitamin D, especially as the days become shorter and winter approaches, when sunbathing isn't always available. The NutraMetrix Isotonix Vitamin D with K2 is a drinkable supplement which is also gluten free and vegetarian. It helps maintain bone health, supports normal bone mineral density, maintains cardiovascular health, promotes healthy arteries and elasticity of blood vessels.

There are some other ways to obtain Vitamin D such as:

-       Loading up your diet with foods that provide Vitamin D such as tuna, mushrooms, pork, cheese, eggs and other Vitamin D enriched foods such as soy milk, yogurt and orange juice.

-        Try to go outside during breaks at work/school.

-        Sit by a window which promotes sunlight

-        Take supplements such as NutraMetrix Isotonix Vitamin D with K2

-        Eat fortified foods

I hope this will help you get through this winter by making sure to “let the Vitamin D in”. Follow @UrbanBodyFix and stay updated.
