Lets talk about Vitamin D for a minute... ☀️
The Journal of Evidence-Based Complementary & Alternative Medicine states:
"Vitamin D deficiency is pandemic, spanning many continents and including all ages, genders and racial/ethnic groups. Currently, world-wide attention is focused on the importance of vitamin D in optimizing health and preventing disease. This focus is largely the result of the scientific discovery that vitamin D receptors are present in nearly every tissue and cell in the body and that adequate vitamin D status is essential for optimal functioning of these tissues and cells. An impressive body of research has accumulated over the past two decades providing new information about the role of vitamin D in prevention of a broad range of diseases."
✣ WHAT IS VITAMIN D?
Contrary to what the name might represent, Vitamin D is actually a Hormone, rather than a Vitamin. Vitamin D’s major biologic function in humans is to maintain serum calcium and phosphorus concentrations within the normal range by enhancing the efficiency of the small intestine to absorb these minerals from the diet
There are two forms of Vitamin D: Vitamin D2 and Vitamin D3. Both offer benefits, but one is more readily absorbed and utilised by the human body. Vitamin D2 is produced by some plant life in response to UV radiation. Mushrooms are an example, and some fortified foods will contain Vitamin D2 as an inexpensive way to boost nutrient quantity.
Vitamin D3 is the most biologically active form of Vitamin D found in humans and animals. The way our bodies make Vitamin D3 is by converting sunshine into chemicals that are used by the body. The cholesterol in our skin converts “pre-Vitamin D” and makes it into usable Vitamin D3. Pre-Vitamin D first travels through the kidneys and liver in the blood stream, and then is converted into a biologically active and usable substance called calcitriol.
✣ BENEFITS OF OPTIMAL VITAMIN D LEVELS
Calcium and phosphorus are essential for developing the structure and strength of your bones, and you need Vitamin D to absorb these minerals. Even if you eat foods that contain a lot of calcium and phosphorus, without enough Vitamin D, you can’t absorb them into your body. Other benefits include:
- Supports a healthy immune system
- Helps to balance mood
- Maintains proper brain function
- May reduce the risk of Type 1 and 2 diabetes
- Reduces the risk of developing rheumatoid arthritis
- Reduces risk of cancer
- May reduce hypertension
✣ EFFECTS OF LOW VITAMIN D LEVELS
- Reduced bone health and muscle function
- Muscle and joint aches
- Inability to concentrate
- Immune system decline
- Mood disorders and depression
- Bladder issues
- Weight gain
- May contribute to cardiovascular disease
- Can contribute to autoimmune diseases
✣ BEST SOURCE OF VITAMIN D
Sunlight is the best and most natural way to get Vitamin D. Ultraviolet rays convert Vitamin D into the form that our bodies use, and unlike food and supplement sources, it is very difficult to get too much Vitamin D this way. In fact, Vitamin D produced in the skin may last at least twice as long in the blood compared with ingested Vitamin D.
How much sun do you need? Variables such as time of day, season, latitude, clothing, sunscreen use, skin pigmentation, and age affect the amount of Vitamin D converted in the skin. I recommend getting in the sun between 10am – 3pm for 15-30 minutes per day. Expose as much as your skin as possible. Don’t use sunscreen as that inhibits the absorption of Vitamin D from the sun. If you’re going to be in the sun for a long period of time (which I don't recommend though), you can use coconut oil or another natural sunscreen.
The Vitamin D Council explains:
"You don’t need to tan or to burn your skin in order to get the Vitamin D you need. Exposing your skin for a short time will make all the Vitamin D your body can produce in one day. In fact, your body can produce 10,000 to 25,000 IU of Vitamin D in just a little under the time it takes for your skin to begin to burn. You make the most Vitamin D when you expose a

large area of your skin, such as your back, rather than a small area such as your face or arms."
✣ OTHER SOURCES OF VITAMIN D
Portobello mushrooms Mushrooms are the only plant sources of Vitamin D. They can provide as much Vitamin D as a supplement. Portobello, maitake, morel, button and shiitake mushrooms are all high in Vitamin D. Here’s a tip: you can put the gills sun side up to boost their Vitamin D content. I would recommend a minimum of 6 hours.
If you’re not getting any proper daily sun exposure, then I believe supplementing is important. The current recommendations by the Vitamin D Council are healthy children under the age of one year should take 1,000 IU per day; over the age of one, 1,000 IU for every 25 pounds of body weight per day; healthy adults and adolescents should take at least 5,000 IU per day. Two months later, have a blood test to ensure you are in the healthy range.
✣ HOW TO CHECK VITAMIN D LEVELS
Since 25(OH)D is the most plentiful and stable metabolite of Vitamin D in the human bloodstream, it is the best indicator of Vitamin D status. Talk to your doctor about having a blood test to measure 25-hydroxy-vitamin D levels. Be certain they do not order a test for 1,25-dihydroxy-Vitamin D, as this is a common error.
✣ DEAL VITAMIN D LEVEL
There is a lack of agreement when it comes to optimal Vitamin D levels. Author and Investigative Journalist Phillip Day makes the following statements in his article:
The latest research recommends the following interpretations:
< 20 nmol/L – seriously deficient – immediate action required
40 nmol/L – very deficient
40 – 100 nmol/L – deficient
130 – 150 nmol/L – normal
170 – 200 nmol/L – therapeutic
>230 nmol/L – toxic threshold
Studies suggest the most optimal serum levels for 25(OH)D appeared to be at least 75 nmol/l (30 ng/ml) and for cancer prevention, desirable 25(OH)D levels are between 90-120 nmol/l (36-48 ng/ml). Personally, I’ve come to the conclusion for optimal health you want your levels to be between 125 and 200 nmol/l. Definitely do your own research though and come to a conclusion that feels right for you.

Sri Vidya, Episode 398 : सकाम कर्म करने से पहले ये करना ज़रूरी है
हमारे दादा-दादी की पीढ़ी को तो हम देखते देखते पले बढ़े - उनके ज़माने के प्रत्येक पुरुष और स्त्री अपने जीवन में एक नियम का पालन करते थे। सुबह दिन के काम-काज शुरू करने से पहले कुछ कार्य किये जाते थे, और संध्या को अपने कर्त्तव्य को निभाने के बाद, कुछ और कार्य करने के बाद ही व्यक्ति रात को सोने जाते थे। आज के ज़माने में हमारी दिनचर्या काफी अलग हो गयी है। व्यक्ति के जीवन में जो ज़िम्मेदारी होती है, जो सकाम कर्म उसे करना होता है, उसके आगे-पीछे ही उसकी पूरी दिनचर्या बन जाती है। लेकिन एक अच्छा और सफल जीवन बनाने के लिए हमें हमारे पूर्वजों से इस बारे में सीख लेनी होगी। प्रतिदिन सकाम कर्म करने से पहले यहाँ बताई गयी बात ज़रूर करें।

Mad Guru Sri Jagad Guru My Master is the Master of the Universe
Madathma Sarva Bhutatma My Soul is the Soul of Every Living Being
Tas Mai Sri Guruve Namah I Bow Down to the Glory of My Guru Dev
Often what is universal is not personal and what is personal does not belong to everyone. What is "mine" and what is "universal" are completely opposite. This is the cause of greed, fear, jealousy, and lack of contentment. On this Guru Purnima wake up and realize that the Lord of the Universe is very personal to you. Your personal Guru is the Guru of the whole world. The Guru is your very SELF and your SELF is the very life in every being. Make the universal personal; it makes you richer, wiser, stronger. Make the personal universal; you will find freedom, compassion, love.
