The Benefits of Vitamin D

1. Vitamin D fights disease
In addition to its primary benefits, research suggests that vitamin D may also play a role in:

reducing your risk of multiple sclerosis, according to a 2006 study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association
decreasing your chance of developing heart disease, according to 2008 findings published in CirculationTrusted Source
helping to reduce your likelihood of developing the flu, according to 2010 research published in the American Journal of Clinical NutritionTrusted Source
2. Vitamin D reduces depression
Research has shown that vitamin D might play an important role in regulating mood and warding off depression. In one study, scientists found that people with depression who received vitamin D supplements noticed an improvement in their symptoms.

In another study of people with fibromyalgia, researchers found vitamin D deficiency was more common in those who were also experiencing anxiety and depression.

3. Vitamin D boosts weight loss
Consider adding vitamin D supplements to your diet if you’re trying to lose weight or prevent heart disease. You can find a great selection of vitamin D supplements on Amazon.com.

In one study, people taking a daily calcium and vitamin D supplement were able to lose more weight than subjects taking a placebo supplement. The scientists said the extra calcium and vitamin D had an appetite-suppressing effect.

In another study, overweight people who took a daily vitamin D supplement improved their heart disease risk markers.

Beware of D-ficiency
Many factors can affect your ability to get sufficient amounts of vitamin D through the sun alone. These factors include:

Being in an area with high pollution
Using sunscreen
Spending more time indoors
Living in big cities where buildings block sunlight
Having darker skin. (The higher the levels of melanin, the less vitamin D the skin can absorb.)
These factors contribute to vitamin D deficiency in an increasing number of people. That’s why it’s important to get some of your vitamin D from sources besides sunlight.

The symptoms of a vitamin D deficiency in adults include:

tiredness, aches and pains, and a general sense of not feeling well
severe bone or muscle pain or weakness that may cause difficulty climbing stairs or getting up from the floor or a low chair, or cause you to walk with a waddling gait
stress fractures, especially in your legs, pelvis, and hips
Doctors can diagnose a vitamin D deficiency by performing a simple blood test. If you have a deficiency, your doctor may order X-rays to check the strength of your bones.

If you’re diagnosed with a vitamin D deficiency, your doctor will likely recommend you take daily vitamin D supplements. If you have a severe deficiency, they may instead recommend high-dose vitamin D tablets or liquids. You should also make sure to get vitamin D through sunlight and the foods you eat.

Ano ang tamang oras ng pagpapaaraw para makakuha ng sapat na Vitamin D pero 'di iitim ang balat?

Sa programang "Pinoy MD," ipinaliwanag ni Dr. Oyie Balburias na walang rason ang mga Pilipino para kulangin sa Vitamin D dahil sa ating araw. Ano nga ba ang tamang oras para magpaaraw at makakuha ng sapat na bitaminang ito?

Sinabi ni Dr. Balburias na hindi dapat katakutan ang araw dahil mahalaga rin ito sa kalusugan. Sa sinag nito, makakakuha na ang isang tao ng 10,000 to 15,000 units ng Vitamin D, depende na rin sa skin tone.

Pero kung ang isang tao ay may kaitiman ang balat, mas matagal ang kakailanganin niyang exposure.

Para sa mga may takot na umitim, maigi ang magpasikat sa araw ng alas-7 hanggang alas-10 sa loob ng 30 minuto, na hindi gaanong magpapaitim at ligtas sa radiation.

Kung mababa sa 10 nanograms per ml ang vitamin D ng isang tao, dapat siyang kumuha ng 10,000 units ng Vitamin D kada araw. Para naman sa may mga kondisyon, kailangan ng 8,000 units ng Vitamin D kada araw.

Kung normal naman ang lebel ng Vitamin D sa dugo na 30-40 nanogram per ml, kailangan ng tao ng nasa 5,000 units kada araw.

Gayunman, nagbabala ang doktor na ipasukat pa rin ang lebel ng Vitamin D sa katawan dahil meron din itong toxicity level.
