Four Steps to Getting More Vitamin D
After years of denying the health benefits of sunlight, conventional researchers are finally
starting to recognize the important role that ultraviolet light plays in human health. Getting
sunlight on your skin, research now shows, is extremely important for preventing and even
reversing chronic diseases. I'm talking about prostate cancer, breast cancer, cervical
cancer, mental depression, osteoporosis and even, to some extent, type 2 diabetes. The
interactions between sunlight and body chemistry for these diseases are quite complex,
and I'm not going to go into them all here, but let me give you the highlights.
Vitamin D is essential for calcium absorption
First, you most likely already know the importance of calcium for your health. If you don't
have enough calcium circulating through your blood, you're going to have cardiovascular
problems and you will probably end up with heart disease. Calcium is crucial for healthy
nervous system function, as well.
If you've read any of the promotional material about coral calcium and all the different
diseases that calcium can prevent or even help cure, then you have a pretty good idea
about some of the practical applications of calcium. Now, I don't think that calcium all by
itself is going to reverse many chronic diseases, but without calcium, there's no question
that you will be accelerating those diseases and reducing your lifespan.
Here's the kicker: Without vitamin D in your small intestine, your body will not absorb
calcium even if you take an excess of supplements. This is the single most important
point, and I don't think I've ever been able to get this point across with enough emphasis.
You must have vitamin D in your body in order to use calcium. So if you're out there
taking coral calcium supplements or eating a lot of green leafy vegetables, but not getting
sunlight or ultraviolet radiation on your skin, then you are probably not absorbing the
calcium you are going to such great trouble to ingest.
Reversing osteoporosis with sunlight
Sunlight can actually reverse osteoporosis. A lot of senior citizens are taking calcium
supplements but not getting sunlight, so the calcium is passing right through their bodies.
As a result, they're losing bone mineral density. However, by adding vitamin D to the
equation through sunlight (remember, your skin generates vitamin D in response to
sunlight exposure), senior citizens can start assimilating calcium and rebuilding their
bones.
This is information that doesn't get told to senior citizens, and modern doctors don't even
understand it. They think that you treat osteoporosis with drugs, which is ridiculous. The
only thing you need in order to treat osteoporosis is sunlight, calcium and a little bit of
physical exercise. You will rebuild bone mineral density very rapidly on that kind of
program.
The bottom line: Get some sun on your skin
Make sure that you're getting sunlight on your skin. If you do this one thing, and do it
consistently, it will create such a positive health outcome. Sunlight will make a world of
difference in your life. It will change your mood. It will change your biochemistry. It will
enhance your bone mineral density, and it will help your body beat or prevent various
forms of cancer.
In fact, vitamin D is a key compound in the regulation of cancer cell growth. Researchers
are just now figuring out that people who are chronically deficient in vitamin D, which
includes most Americans, are at far greater risk of a variety of different cancers. Vitamin D
has been shown to be the single most powerful chemical compound known to medical
science for preventing hormone-related cancers such as breast cancer and prostate
cancer.
Why antioxidants are important before exposing yourself to UV light
Now, you might ask, "What if I can't get sunlight? What if I live in a northern climate or a
cloudy climate and I just can't get sunlight?" First, as I said before, you can go visit a
tanning salon. This is only the second-best choice. Personally, I don't like artificial light
even if it is ultraviolet -- sunlight is far healthier for you because it has a full spectrum of
energy that's not found in a tanning bed. But a tanning salon is your best alternative. If
you can't get out in the sunlight, go sign up with a tanning salon.
If you do that, it is crucial that you supplement with superfoods and high levels of
antioxidants. If you don't have high levels of antioxidants in your tissues, you may suffer
skin damage from excessive ultraviolet radiation. By taking high levels of antioxidants,
however, you will build up an internal sunscreen, and your skin's response to sun
exposure will be very different. It will be healthy and adaptive, meaning that you won't
burn. Instead, you will tan. This is true even if you've never tanned in your life.
I know exactly what I'm talking about here -- I used to be one of the most fair-skinned
people around. I would sunburn very easily. I grew up in the Midwest, and after just half an
hour in the summer sun I would be burned beet red. My skin would peel, and I would be in
pain for days. Now, thanks to the antioxidants I'm taking, I can go out in the desert in
Arizona, in the middle of the summer, and spend three hours under the sun with no
sunscreen whatsoever and not burn at all. What's the difference? Do I have new skin and
new genetics? Of course not. I just have better nutrition.
This is one of those truths about health that medical science currently considered heresy,
but will eventually acknowledge as true in the years ahead.
Protect your skin with outstanding internal nutrition
Nutrition makes all the difference when it comes to sun exposure. Keep in mind that it
takes a little bit of time for this nutrition to work its way into the tissues of your skin. So if
you haven't been engaging in good nutrition but you want sunlight, don't make the
mistake of jumping out into the sun right away. Give yourself a couple of weeks following
high-density nutritional supplementation first (and use whole food-based supplements, not
the cheap chemical multivitamins sold at retail).
One of the best products you can get to assist with this is called astaxanthin. Astaxanthin
will greatly boost the antioxidant count in your tissues, protect you from sunlight, and
function as an internal sunscreen. It will also reduce inflammation and protect your
nervous system, including your eyes, from damage from a variety of sources, including
oxidative damage, free radical damage, and damage from ultraviolet radiation. Getting
astaxanthin into your diet is very wise.
You should also add superfood supplements to your diet. If you're not already taking a
green foods product, I strongly urge you to order one and make it part of your daily diet. If
you don't like the taste of it at first, keep in mind that you will get used to it, and you can
start small. Blend half a teaspoonful into your favorite drink. I recommend bananas and
either milk or soymilk. That makes a delicious milkshake. You can blend in a little
supergreen powder and start increasing your dosage until you're putting in a couple of
heaping tablespoonfuls each morning. Believe me, you'll not only get used to the taste,
you'll come to like it.
You can also buy a variety of other nutritional supplements. There's a product available at
health food stores called Berry Green. It's a whole food concentrate. It's important that
you don't make the mistake of relying on isolated vitamins; eat whole food concentrates if
you want to boost your antioxidant count, which will help protect you from sunburn.
Alternative food sources of vitamin D
If you can't get into a tanning booth, or don't want to, another alternative to sunlight is to
find other sources of vitamin D. The best way to do that is to drink cod liver oil on a daily
basis. A tablespoonful of cod liver oil would go a long way toward boosting your vitamin D
count and protecting you from chronic disease.
Don't assume that this tastes unpleasant just because it's from fish. Cod liver oil is
actually close to tasteless. It's sort of like drinking olive oil or corn oil. Additionally, you can
buy mint- or orange-flavored cod liver oil from health food stores and it won't taste
objectionable at all. You can even mix it into your blended morning drink if you want.
Either way, get vitamin D into your diet.
Don't believe for a second that vitamin-D-fortified milk is going to give you enough vitamin
D. Most of the vitamin D in milk has been destroyed by excess exposure to light. It's a
terrible way to get vitamin D. The most efficient vitamin D supplement is still fish oil, and
cod liver oil is the best way to go.
There are four main points you should take from this:
You have to get sunlight into your life in order to be healthy and prevent or even reverse
major chronic diseases. Start getting more sun.
Boost your antioxidant count, because antioxidants will protect you from the risk of
overexposure to sunlight. Astaxanthin, green foods powder, Berry Green, and other green
foods are all excellent sources. Get those supplements now and find ways to work them
into your diet starting today.
If you can't get sunlight, visit a tanning booth to get ultraviolet radiation. It's a secondary
choice, but it's better than doing nothing. Remember not to use tanning booths for too
long, and be sure to have great nutrition for at least 30 days before tanning in a booth.
If you can't get sunlight or get to a tanning booth, find other sources of vitamin D. The
best source is cod liver oil, which you can mix into a delicious shake the same as you
would most whole food supplements.
If you do these things, you will simply amaze your doctor with your improved health. You
will have healthier bones, tissues and blood. You'll help prevent cancer, depression and
gum disease. You'll heal more quickly from injury, and your mood will markedly improve.
This is the power of vitamin D, a nutrient so miraculous that if it could be patented and
sold for profit, it would be among the top selling drugs in the world.
