Research shows that more sunshine in your life can help you live healthier, longer. Researchers discovered the mortality rate for women who avoided sun exposure was two times higher than those with the highest sun exposure, buff.ly/3JRJAWM #SunshineMonth #VitaminD

A 2020 study compared vitamin D3 production in younger & older individuals after sun exposure, revealing a decrease in production with age. Age contributes to 20% of the variation in production levels, with a 13% decrease per decade. Source: buff.ly/3Uy7UlH #SunshineMonth

Recent evidence shows a strong link between low vitamin D levels and the development of T1D, with early-life adequate vitamin D reducing the risk. Source: buff.ly/4a5WDP5 #T1D #Diabetes #VitaminD

Various energy wavelengths from sunshine have specific effects on the body. UVB stimulates vitamin D production, serotonin & beta-endorphins. UVA promotes nitric oxide release, affecting the microbiome. Blue light regulates circadian rhythm & melatonin. buff.ly/4dlDTy5

Knowing the history of how sunlight has been utilized to cure disease & improve health is important for understanding why it is still so essential today. Sunlight & artificial UV were the most effective treatments of diseases of darkness until the 1950s. buff.ly/3yd6o0s

In March 2023 Australia became the first country to provide updated guidelines for sun exposure based on skin type, risk of skin cancer, & risk of vitamin D deficiency, officially recommending increased sun exposure for darker skinned people. buff.ly/4blb3vP #SunsineMonth

Several studies reviewed provide evidence that increased sunlight may not only help reduce the risk of severe viral infections, but it may also be an effective disinfectant for influenza, SARS-CoV-2 and other viruses. grassrootshealth.net/blog/sunlight-… #Sunshine Month #Sunshine #VitaminD

A group of world-leading brain health scientists has come together to launch #AlzheimersPreventionDay taking place on May 15th! The day aims to raise awareness of the scientifically proven ways Alzheimer’s can be prevented. Visit alzheimersprevention.info to learn more #BrainHealth

New guidelines for sun exposure are tailored for specific groups based on skin type, risk of skin cancer, and vitamin D deficiency. Increased sun exposure is now recommended for darker-skinned individuals. buff.ly/44l1j2r #Sunshine Month #Sunshine #VitaminD

Among teenage girls suffering from mood disorders related to PMS, correcting vitamin D deficiency resulted in significant reductions in depressive symptoms, including #anxiety (score 51 -> 20), irritability (score 130 -> 70) & sadness (score 51 -> 31). buff.ly/44itChT

Immune cells can become activated with vitamin D and vitamin D can inhibit cancer cell growth...just a few examples of processes that are turned on or off by the action(s) that vitamin D has on specific genes within those cells. buff.ly/3wcWWtA #DNA #DNA Day24 #VitaminD

Happy #DNADay ! Approximately 2000 genes (and possibly more!) are affected by the activated signaling molecule form of vitamin D [1,25(OH)2D], and at least 160 biological pathways are influenced by vitamin D supplementation. buff.ly/3w0VKcO #DNADay 24 #VitaminD

Tomorrow is #DNADay . Nutritional genomics is a growing field of research on the effects of certain nutrients on genetic expression. Optimizing the intake of such nutrients & correcting deficiencies are considered “low-hanging fruit” among many scientists. buff.ly/4aUbiOz

In this video, Dr. Patrick McCullough reviews a paper by Shirvani et al. on the effects of 600, 4000, or 10,000 IU of vitamin D per day on gene function within white blood cells and how many genes were affected at each dose. Watch: buff.ly/3WgGmDF #VitaminD #DNA #Genetics

Another 2023 meta-analysis supports findings from other previous studies on omega-3s and cardiovascular disease, showing that omega-3 supplementation, especially with higher levels of EPA and DHA, reduced CVD and CV mortality. buff.ly/3JvEJu9 #HeartHealth #Cardiovascular

A study published by Srinivasan concluded that the AAP’s guidelines for supplementation in infants of 400 IU is insufficient, & most infants require 800-1000 IU vitamin D soon after birth to maintain physiological D levels of ≥ 30 ng/ml buff.ly/3UoGe3R #ChildHealth

A new study analyzed data from 43 randomized controlled trials to find that vitamin D supplementation significantly improved specific markers of lung function, while also decreasing the odds of acute exacerbations and improving T-cell levels. buff.ly/3w3n0Hm #Nutrition
