Summer Sunshine and Your Daily Dose: How to Obtain More Vitamin D @thepassportpolish passportpolish.com Find your Passport Polish and Passport Pout in all your favorite colors! Passport Polish is a cosmetics brand inspired by different elements of a country from flag colors to national flowers. By Lia Threat Vitamin D is also known as the “sunshine vitamin,” and June in New Orleans is a great time to soak it all up! Vitamin D is absorbed by our bodies via ultraviolet rays from the sun. After it is absorbed by the skin, it undergoes a process of synthesis before being utilized. More than just a fatsoluble vitamin, vitamin D also acts as a hormone with receptors present on cells throughout nearly every system in the body. It can affect mood as well as our immune system. So, what is the best way to get more? Well first, we must consider how our bodies absorb vitamin D through sun exposure and the foods that we eat. With sun exposure, the amount of melanin @wellnesswithlia in our skin may contribute to how easily vitamin D is synthesized by our body. Those with lighter skin absorb vitamin D faster and may require only about 10-15 minutes in direct sunlight on exposed skin (without sunscreen). Others with darker skin may require up to 30 minutes. Anyone with skin conditions or those with a sensitivity to the sun may want to obtain their vitamin D through foods and supplements. Ask your doctor to check your vitamin D levels and determine if you need a supplement. Consume foods with high levels of naturally occurring vitamin D such as cod liver oil, eggs, mushrooms, and salmon. Lia Threat is a cerified health coach based in New Orleans.

Dosis diaria de sol de verano: Cómo obtener más vitamina D By Lia Threat @wellnesswithlia La vitamina D también es conocida como la “vitamina del sol”, ¡y el mes de junio en Nueva Orleans es el momento perfecto para almacenarla! La vitamina D se absorbe en nuestro cuerpo por medio de los rayos ultravioleta del sol. Después de ser absorbida por la piel, la vitamina pasa por un proceso de síntesis antes de ser utilizada. Más que una vitamina soluble en grasa, la vitamina D también actúa como una hormona con receptores presentes en las células de casi todos los sistemas del cuerpo, y puede afectar nuestro estado de ánimo, además de nuestro sistema inmunológico. Entonces, ¿cómo podemos obtener más vitamina D? Primero, debemos considerar cómo nuestros cuerpos absorben la vitamina D a través de la exposición al sol, y los alimentos que comemos. Con la exposición al sol, la cantidad de melanina en nuestra piel determina la facilidad con la que el cuerpo sintetiza la vitamina D. Las personas con piel más clara absorben la vitamina D más rápido, y pueden requerir solo de 10 a 15 minutos de luz solar directa en la piel expuesta sin filtro solar. Otros, con piel más oscura, pueden requerir hasta 30 minutos. Cualquier persona con afecciones de la piel, o con sensibilidad al sol, pueden optar por obtener su vitamina D a través de alimentos y suplementos. Pide a tu médico que verifique tus niveles de vitamina D, y determine si necesitas un suplemento. Consume alimentos con altos niveles de vitamina D natural, como el aceite de hígado de bacalao, los huevos, los champiñones y el salmón.
