Vitamin D Is Great, But Without These Tips Sunshine Might Actually Decrease These Levels
Hello again,
Here is a great article by Dr. Mercola of www.mercola.com. There are so many disease fighting benefits to vitamin D and only a few people are aware of this.
Dr. Mercola explains how to maximize your vitamin D levels by not showering! He also explains how to avoid losing more vitamin D than you had before your sun exposure.
At this point, you’re probably wondering how exposure to sunshine could possibly decrease your vitamin D levels... If you’re a regular reader of this newsletter, you know I’ve made it a point to educate you on the incredible value of safe sun exposure to increase your vitamin D levels
I have regularly stated that the ideal way to obtain your vitamin D is from safe exposure to sunshine As it turns out, there is a major caveat, which affects nearly anyone living in a modern day civilization.
But first, I want to review something that’s even more surprising – the connection between exposure to sunshine, vitamin D3, and showering!
What Does Showering Have to Do With Your Vitamin D Levels?
First, it’s important to understand that vitamin D3 is an oil soluble steroid hormone. It’s formed when your skin is exposed to ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation from the sun (or a safe tanning bed). When UVB strikes the surface of your skin, your skin converts a cholesterol derivative in your skin into vitamin D3.
However, the vitamin D3 that is formed is on the surface of your skin does not immediately penetrate into your bloodstream. It actually needs to be absorbed from the surface of your skin into your bloodstream.
The critical question then is: how long does it take the vitamin D3 to penetrate your skin and reach your bloodstream?
If you’re thinking about an hour or two, like I did until recently, you’re wrong. Because new evidence shows it takes up to 48 hours before you absorb the majority of the vitamin D that was generated by exposing your skin to the sun!
Therefore, if you shower with soap, you will simply wash away much of the vitamin D3 your skin generated, and decrease the benefits of your sun exposure. So to optimize your vitamin D level, you need to delay washing your body with soap for about two full days after sun exposure.
Now not many people are not going to bathe for two full days.
However you really only need to use soap underneath your arms and your groin area. , so this is not a major hygiene issue. You’ll just want to avoid soaping up the larger areas of your body that were exposed to the sun.
