Vitamin D intake in the winter
04.59
To sufficient votes in the last years more and more intake of vitamin D is essential for our health and our well-being. Vitamin d is the only vitamin that the body by the sun itself can make. It is particularly important for the metabolism of calcium and phosphate ions and for the teeth and bones.Vitamin D deficiency can cause the following symptoms
• Osteoporosis
• Cancer, in particular bone, breast and prostate cancer
• Renal failure
• Alzheimer's disease
• PMS
• Depression (especially in the winter)
• Parkinson's disease
• Sunlight - the best source of vitamin D
The Sun is undoubtedly the most natural and therefore the best vitamin D source for our body Dar. But what can we do if we are a place to live where we do not get enough, to provide the necessary dose of vitamin D Sun?
There are alternatives to sunlight
For those on a place life, where the Sun is very low during the winter months, are there alternative non judicial means for the recovery of sufficient vitamin D status:
(1) Spend as much time as possible in the open air, take advantage of the few Sun. Take your lunch outside and go, even if her face and hands you are only parts of the body, which are not covered.
(2) You apply no sun shade on sunny days. It is remarkable how many skin creams have a sun protection factor. These creams contain usually many chemical substances, which can irritate the skin, not "only" and make you sick. The chemicals enter the bloodstream and ultimately the entire body burden.
(3) Even the deck chair can help to increase the vitamin D content in the body. Modern instruments have a balanced UVA / UVB-mix. Should this possibility but selectively and Brown in no way overdoing it.
(4) Replace your light bulbs in the House and / or in the work of full-spectrum light body! Daylight light under full spectrum light emerged as more vitamin D is formed in the body.
(5), Egg yolk, salmon, & Mackerelare the largest Gehlt food vitamin d ask the fish consumption but usually sure that this comes not from polluted waters.

Vitamin D could - according to a new study - an extremely valuable tool in the treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS). This may not even have to launch out, because a regular dose of sunlight, the body's vitamin D production to stimulate such a way that can alleviate the symptoms of multiple sclerosis with it.
Multiple sclerosis exposes the parties themselves unable to provide for themselves and ultimately bring some into the wheelchair
Multiple sclerosis - symptoms and disease progression
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a devastating disease with so far little hope of true healing. In Germany, around 150 people per 100,000 suffer from multiple sclerosis. In most cases it affects young people between 20 and 40 who are in the prime of their lives. The illness makes them unable to care for themselves and ultimately bring some in a wheelchair.
Multiple sclerosis is a chronic, inflammatory autoimmune disease that affects the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord, and occasionally the optic nerves). In the course of the disease slowly hardens the outer layer of the spinal cord. This allows the electrical impulses of nerve cells (the brain from the rest of the body and vice versa on the way) are no longer happen, they are interrupted.
This leads to various symptoms such as numbness, paralysis, pain, swallowing problems and visual disturbances (Blurred vision, double vision, etc.). In time, the force can be significantly slower after and movements, until finally no longer possible. However, MS patients do not necessarily end in a wheelchair. The majority even years after onset in a position to go myself.
MS also runs in most cases in batches, that is, the symptoms may regress completely after a boost (until the next relapse). It can also be permanent neurological damage and increase thrust-to push on.
Multiple sclerosis - School Medical therapies of dubious efficacy
The conventional medical treatment of multiple sclerosis does not lead to healing, but - with luck - to a relief of symptoms. During a push given to high-dose steroids and any drugs that inhibit cell growth and cell division, the (cytotoxic drugs, under the designation of chemotherapy administered to cancer patients as well).
Also be prescribed medication for the individual symptoms (antidepressants, anti-pain, etc.). In the long term to try these immune system with certain drugs alter one hand, on the other hand, to suppress, however. It is known that can not be performed for all drugs used in multiple sclerosis is a convincing proof of efficacy.
Some of these medications may take a person in his life no longer than two to five years, because otherwise life-threatening conditions must be expected. Other typical MS drugs (beta-interferon) to increase the risk of cancer and some can cause inflammation in the brain.
Beta-interferon is also incidentally lead to depression, whereas antidepressants will soon be prescribed. These usually have again a long list of side effects, but of course it against the drugs are also ...
New study shows vitamin D prevents MS attacks
The therapy situation for Multiple Sclerosis sufferers is anything but satisfactory. A new study by the University of Toronto on the influence of vitamin D on the progress and development of multiple sclerosis is every reason to hope.
Multiple sclerosis patients who had taken during this study very high doses of vitamin D (an average of 14 000 IU per day, 1 IU - International Unit - corresponds to 0.025 micrograms of vitamin D3), were able to successfully prevent new episodes. Your body functions also deteriorated any further and they noticed no negative side effects.
Researchers warn of active vitamin D doses
Despite these very positive results, warns one MS patients against taking more than 4,000 IU of vitamin D, because the therapy is not as safe at higher doses is true. At the same time, however, was detected in this same study had shown that taking a dose of only 4,000 IU per day in multiple sclerosis absolutely no effect.
Also has been demonstrated in several studies that high doses of vitamin D are quite safe. Yes, even the University of Toronto, it was himself, who had announced in a vitamin D study, that there is "no evidence of negative effects in the daily intake of 10,000 IU vitamin D" would be. Generally, a chronic overdose can occur only if one were to take over many months, 40,000 IU in the form of preparations.
Sunlight instead of pills
Warnings are still taking a naturally skeptical. Vitamin D but not now necessarily be taken in pill form. Since vitamin D by the human organism under the influence of sunlight itself can be produced, it is sufficient to skin daily exposure to the sun. This way you can provide, for free with enough vitamin D - and is also a not the slightest risk of a vitamin D overdose.
Sunbathing secure the vitamin D supply
Put on swimsuit or bikini so to go and get into the sun. If it is too cold for bathing suits, then make sure the simple fact that you present as much skin as possible to direct sunlight. If you have fair skin and remain in the sun until your skin is a little pink, then this corresponds to about 200,000 IU of vitamin D. Our own body produces that is, within a very short time an incredibly large amount of vitamin D - and never was from an overdose of vitamin D reported due to too much sunlight.
Equally interesting is the fact that multiple sclerosis occurs less frequently so the closer a people living at the equator. Some scientists conclude that multiple sclerosis may be among other things, the result of a chronic vitamin D deficiency, simply because people from northern climes expose their skin to sunlight much less often and make their body therefore hardly vitamin D can.
Simultaneously, the nutrition in the northern industrial countries today is extremely vitamin D-poor. The Inuit (Eskimos) in Greenland, for example, enjoy the sunlight despite chronic lack of an optimal vitamin D levels because they eat freshly caught or even dried fish and offal. Conversely, those who in the south and closer to the equator, lives enjoys the most of the year in shorts and sandals and needs - even without fish and offal - through its vitamin D supply to break any second head.
For people in the Central European industrial countries, all this means: raising and bathe regularly as much skin as possible in natural sunlight.
The protective effect of vitamin D
Vitamin D affects over 1000 genes in the human organism. Always prove again studies have shown that a lack of vitamin D is instrumental in the development of many diseases. These include rickets, high blood pressure , stroke , heart attack , diabetes , bone fractures, different types of cancer - and multiple sclerosis. This means that optimal care is essential with vitamin D in the prevention of these diseases.
The higher vitamin D levels in the blood, the lower the risk of MS
As early as 2006 in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA 2006 296: 2832-2838) a published study , the relationship between vitamin D levels in the blood and made ??clear the MS.
Dr. Kassandra Munger of the Harvard School of Public Health and her team had a database that contained seven million people, multiple sclerosis patients selected 257, of which at least two blood samples were available, the five years before the outbreak of the disease lost about had been.
The vitamin D levels of these blood samples was compared with the vitamin D levels had remained a healthy control group. It turned out that the risk of developing MS, (in people with white skin color) with increasing vitamin D levels decreased.
Vitamin D reduces the number of patches of demyelination
Another study showed that it could be reduced in MS patients, the number of so-called demyelinating (hardening of positions) in the spinal cord by taking 7,000 IU of vitamin D per day. And so pushing many researchers - mainly in Scotland, where multiple sclerosis is particularly widespread - for years to secure the vitamin D supply of people to ward off MS already possible in advance.
While the pharmaceutical industry so feverishly for new drugs to treat multiple sclerosis studied, while Britain urges his prime minister to devote millions of pounds of stem cell research to fight with the help of one day, multiple sclerosis may, during the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada more and more training centers set up for multiple-sclerosis researcher, you could as easily put clothes in the sun, there absolutely free to increase your vitamin D levels and thus immune to multiple sclerosis.

Vitamin D is Crucial
Vitamin D is Crucial, because Vitamin d has a key role for health since it involved thousands of regulatory processes in the human body's cells. A deficiency increases the risk of disease significantly--especially in the winter, when the Sun in the northern regions of the world for adequate UV radiation is too low. Dependent from the body, but Vitamin d is crucial since vitamin D is itself made up about 90 percent by UV irradiation of the skin in the body.Until was adopted a few years ago, active form of vitamin D use of sunlight is formed in the liver, kidneys and skin. Thanks to the American scientist Prof. Michael F. Holick, Professor of medicine, dermatology, Physiology and Biophysics, and discovered the active form of vitamin D, we now know that the has not only the cells of skin, liver and kidneys, but of course every single cell in the body the opportunity, active vitamin D. Professor Holick form the view that the active vitamin is not d therefore only colds, flu and bone diseases such as osteoporosis prevent rickets, but could in the prostate, breast and intestinal cells, the typical unhealthy cell cancer growth prevents direct website. Alarming deficiencies of vitamin D in Germany and United States. The prestigious Robert Koch Institute in Berlin carried out for the Ministry of health, a representative study on the supply of vitamin D in Germany. A report on it was established in the international journal "European Journal of clinical nutrition", because the results are alarming.Surveyed in more than half of the 4,000 people of all ages a substantial deficit of vitamin D was found: the vitamin D level was in the blood of 57 percent of those polled men and 58% of women below the critical limit. For those over 75 per cent were 65-year-old women under delivered. Even higher, the deficits were observed during the winter months.Similar results applied vitamin D studies in the United States. Vitamin D deficiency has been found• 40 percent of the total population of• 32 percent of doctors and medical students• 42 percent of African-American women• 48 percent of girls in the age of 9 years all pregnant• 81 per cent of newborn these women• und11• 76 percent up to 60 percent all hospital patients• up to 80 percent of patients in nursing homes.• Awareness of deficits as cause of causes for mostdermatologists like not sois unaware people, the health aspect of sunlight, and this is unfortunately once again to the commercial sector used.Contributed to the awareness deficit have also many dermatologists that constantly indicate about the "dangers" of the Sun's rays. Some even tell a friend about sun exposure completely avoid. Of course, excessive sun-tanning is harmful, because it can lead even cancer of the skin. Sunlight in particular is not only "allowed", but indispensable.Vitamin d which is perhaps the most underrated vital substance at all. Probably because sunlight is free of charge and not for sale. Therefore Announces are the health benefits of the Sun, but only the sunscreen. These benefits can be measured in billions. As profit for pharmaceutical companies and healthcare costs.Da: Even sunscreen with the low sun protection factor of 8 can already reduce the production of vitamin D by 95 percent. Against this background it is useful, then, that the dermatologists warn against the Sun (or maybe should warned are the more sun protection products?). And this fits into the picture, the the "American Academy of Dermatology AAD the sunscreen manufacturer financed." And, to be still no mystery because everything for the benefit of the people of that are protected from the evil Sun.In the first three seasons, build people their vitamin D levels and branches in body fat and a storage for the winter. This does not work in obesity: although vitamin D in body fat, then more, be stored but not delivered. Therefore the most obese people (also) suffer from vitamin D-Mangel.Knochen need calcium. Calcium, the body can only absorb and recycle, but when (once) enough vitamin D available. Otherwise possibly osteoporosis and other bone diseases result, including rickets. "This is nothing more than a bone Auszehrung.""Vitamin d has a key role for health", it is the beginning of this report. According to epidemiologist Cedric Garland of the University of California at San Diego, United States, vitamin D deficiency in the development of tumors involved fundamentally.Annals of epidemiology "Garland writes:" the first event in cancer is the loss of communication between cells, among other things of low vitamin D and calcium "developed." This poor a power play important role in, the healthy cells in tumor cells, the. followed by the loss of cell communication, Garland loud mutations of genes. Garland admits that his model was not yet scientifically proved States, the hundreds of epidemiological studies on a fundamental role of vitamin D deficiency in cancer development now proposed. A balanced supply of vitamin D could prevent many of these processes.From October to March is missing from the body, which is solar energy, to synthesize vitamin d even if the sun shines in the winter, too low the skin with the vitamin D from the preform makes it for appropriate UV irradiation. In the winter a healthy man of vitamin D in fat Leben.Je stores less this stock longer winter. Therefore, the influenza outbreaks are usually in February and March. But you must not equal to winter sports enthusiasts to use in this time of year.From April to September is the sun soaked. But not too often and too much. Meet day for ten to fifteen minutes in the Sun to the arms and face. By the way: Glass is opaque to the UV radiation of the Sun. With closed Windows in the car or House can make the skin so no some vitamin dstupid and pleasant alternativesdoctors, faith from food to get vitamin D in sufficient quantity. This is theoretically correct but practically void. For up to at least ten glasses of milk or vitamin D-fortified orange juice drink with would.Or it would be oily fish such as mackerel or salmon three to five times per week D contained so that an adequate amount of vitamin eaten. It is perhaps less demanding from time to time to go a solarium. But please not too Brown times FRY radiation over dose. UV radiation can refuel also delicate beauty with a distinguished pallor.
