Sunshine and Vitamin D |
|
What is the best way to get vitamin D?
There are three ways to get vitamin D required for health.
Sunlight interacts with our skin producing vitamin D in the cutaneous tissues. Research is now revealing that sunlight taken in through the eyes relieves arthritic pains. It has been found that sunglasses screen out the health-giving wavelengths from the full light spectrum. Studies find that sunlight is a significant factor in providing what the body needs to heal itself from diseases and ailments. Sunlight taken while resting increases our metabolic rate, circulation, and oxygen carrying abilities of the blood. As a result, the process of toxin elimination and nerve energy is increased. Excessive sun that burns the skin is the major cause of skin cancers. 30 minutes in the full sun, on as much of the skin area as reasonable, will produce approximately 10,000 IUs of vitamin D3 for a light skin person. Dark skin people will need as much as six times more sunshine to get the same benefits. |
Vitamin D3 increases the absorption of calcium, and vitamin K2 directs the body to properly deposit the calcium
Quote from Dr. Zane Kime, 1980 - "The sun continues to be the potent, life giving, health-giving force for modern man that it was intuitively recognized to be by primitive man. And separation from sunlight will result in disease, just as surely as will separation from fresh air, food, and water". |
