Vitamin D – The Master Key to Your Optimal Health
Vitamin D and God’s Word
We learn so much everyday that points back to what God said in the beginning: “I give you every seed bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food.” (Genesis 1:29) Vitamin D3, cholecalciferol, is converted to Calitrol by our liver and kidneys. It is the only vitamin that the body can manufacture from sunlight. Calitrol controls phosphorus, calcium, bone metabolism and neuromuscular functions. In other words when we are deficient in Vitamin D we have problems with our bones, muscles, and nervous systems among other problems. It has been noted that sufficient dosage of vitamin d is helpful in preventing depression, back pain, brittle bones and even cancer. Most importantly the immune system is enhanced by adequate doses of vitamin d.
Here is more proof that our bodies are tuned to the vitamins, minerals and nutrients found in fruit, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, beans and herbs (plants).
Listen to this conversation between Dr. Mercola and Dr. Heaney about the health benefits of Vitamin D.
So How do We Get Vitamin D
Sunlight is by far greatest source of Vitamin D. In our foods the best vitamin d sources are salmon, sardines, herring, milk, egg yolk, organ meats, sprouted seeds, sunflower seeds. As you note these are the highest sources of omega 3 oils.
Vitamin D – Sources and Functions
Vitamin D is produced from a substance present beneath the skin when sunlight falls upon the surface of the body. This vitamin is not present in any significant degree in foods. Even if we eat a diet based on the best food sources of Calitrol without regular sunshine and fresh air we may still have a deficiency of Vitamin D3.
Vitamin D is the Master Key to our optimal health because on a cellular level it is necessary for our cells to work properly to fight all types of diseases including cancer, heart disease, diabetes and even the cold and flu. The best source of Vitamin D3 (the natural source) is sunlight. Then in foods fish oils from salmon, herring and sardines. No other source compares even though you can get small amounts of Vitamin D from other foods. That is why milk has been fortified with it. But, real key is to get plenty of sunshine and eat fish high in omega 3 oils like salmon.
A daily walk and a table spoon of cod liver oil did it for my father.
Be Blessed. Be a Blessing.
