Vitamin D: The "Sunshine" Vitamin

In a world with humans dealing with sickness due to lack of Vitamin D, TPTB won't slow down on producing Man Made Clouds.

more than 90% of the vit-D requirement comes from exposure to sunlight

Lack of sun exposure and vitamin D deficiency have been linked to many serious chronic diseases, including autoimmune diseases, infectious diseases, cardiovascular disease, and deadly cancers.

The lack of appreciation of the importance of sensible sun exposure for providing children and adults with their vitamin D requirement has led to a worldwide vitamin D deficiency pandemic.

The CDC concluded that vitamin D deficiency is becoming more prevalent in the US because of obesity, decrease in the consumption of vitamin D fortified milk and increased sun protection.

There is no downside to increasing vitamin D intake and there could be a substantial upside, i.e., improvement not only of musculoskeletal health but overall health and welfare.

It has been estimated that as much as 25% of health care dollars could be saved just by improving the world’s vitamin D status

Vitamin D: The “sunshine” vitamin

Vitamin D insufficiency affects almost 50% of the population worldwide.

High prevalence of vitamin D insufficiency is a particularly important public health issue because hypovitaminosis D is an independent risk factor for total mortality in the general population.

Current studies suggest that we may need more vitamin D than presently recommended to prevent chronic disease.

Both sun exposure and serum vitamin D levels have been associated with lower risks of all-cause mortality and chronic age-related diseases, e.g., cancer, diabetes and cardiovascular disease,

Vitamin D deficiency was associated with poor sleep quality in individuals with insufficient exposure to sunlight.

The current policy of sun avoidance is creating probable harm for the general population.

We are of the opinion that moderate sun exposure (less than the time required to burn) to the arms, shoulders, trunk, and legs should be sought rather than avoided. Once that limited time has been achieved, we agree that covering the skin or seeking shade may be appropriate.

The benefits of such exposure go beyond production of vitamin D and include other physiological responses to sunlight, still inadequately explored, including release of nitric oxide, production of beta-endorphin, and regulation of circadian rhythms—all important components of lifelong health and well-being.
