Vitamin D

Postby Cookie » Sat Mar 26, 2011 4:16 pm

Some quotes of interest from an article I have just read about the above.

"they have belly fat and fat around their waist and no matter what they do they cannot get rid of it.

The reason for this is that their circulating vitamin D gets locked up in their cells creating a lack of vitamin D in the rest of their body."


"The real surprise though was that men and women deficient in vitamin D had 80% more abdominal fat than those men and women with high levels of vitamin D"


"If you do not have enough vitamin D to control the growth of cells then the cells can run riot with diseases that can be linked to low levels of vitamin D."


"Most people know that vitamin D is the sunlight vitamin teken in by the skin on sunny days. what most do not know is that vitamin D once taken in by the skin is then activated by the kidneys and turned into a hormone called 1,25 DiHydroxy Vitamin (D 1,25.D).

You have to have enough vitamin D circulating in your body for the level of the aove mentioned hormone to do its work.

A number of diseases are linked to low levels of circulating vitamin D including cancer, Diabetes and Rheumatoid Arthritis."


"Scientists recommend a minimum dose of 50mcg (2,000iu) to a maximum of 250mcg ( 10,000iu) daily, which should not be exceeded as like most things in life too much vitamin D can be harmful.

The average person produces a high percentage of acid every day which puts a huge strain on the kidneys it naturally follows that overweight people with extra fat have to rid the body of extra waste, this causes internal inflammation, insulin resistance and mineral deficiencies, this body stress results in even more abdominal fat. What is even worse, the body then as a last resort starts to use up the reserves of natural antacids; Calcium, Potassium and Magnesium so that it can neutralise the excess acid waste to enable it to pass through the body as urine. The worst scenario of this is it leaves the body with a deficiency of these minerals, because Magnesium is critical in helping Calcium absorption a low level of vitamin D in the body can stop the absorption of Calcium by 50 percent or more, therefore, without Magnesium the body cannot set in motion the work of vitamin D and as Calcium cannot be absorbed without the aid of vitamin D our bodies will start to fall apart.

If you decide to use vitamin D in order to lose fat around the waist it is recommended that you get your body into an alkaline state"


"and by supplementing with 1000mg of Calcium, 500mg of Magnesium, 2000iu (50mcg) vitamin D and up to a maximum of 10,000iu (250mcg) per day."


"Taking 2000iu of vitamin D daily can reduce the risk of developing all cancers by 70%*, Rheumatoid Arthritis 42%, Type 2 Diabetes 33%*, Multiple Sclerosis 40% an upper respiratory infection 90%.

* When taken with 1000mg of calcium.

"Vitamin D is used in conjunction with Artemisinin, Butyric Acis and MAgnesium by health professions in cancer care"
