Here Comes The Sun: The Science of Vitamin D

Поділитися

  • When you hear the word "photosynthesis", you probably think plants, but we also "make with light". Our skin uses Ultraviolet B light to synthesize Vitamin D, and it's pretty essential to our wellbeing. But what is fascinating is the delicate balance between making enough Vitamin D and being at high risk of skin cancer. And the molecule that completes this menage a trois is the one that fundamentally underpins racism and things like "fairness creams".

    PLEASE NOTE: 2:52 The Ionizing and Non-Ionizing labels are on the wrong sides. Gamma ray/UV is the ionizing side and Microwave/Infrared/Radio is the non-ionizing side. UA-cam used to allow annotations but now they don't, so I couldn't edit the video. Thanks for the patience

    As a brown person living in Europe, the part about being vitamin D deficient is true. My first year I was severely ill during the bleak, grey and depressing autumn and winter. GP adviced tested and lo, and behold vitamin D deficient. Started taking pills and watched my well being became better.
    Of course, diet and excersize ALWAYS play a role on your overall physical and mental health. They are non negotiable, and so is Vitamin D.
    Thanks for covering this Krish. Your content helped me critically think over this subject matter. There was a phase where even doing groceries became an upsetting chore (where are the vegetables coming from, are they organic? Do they sell A2 milk here? Yoghurt? Etc etc.
    Glad I grew out of it relatively quickly. Having a healthy diet, brisk walking at least 20 minutes a day, and the sun light matters more than that croissant with a coffee on a sunday morning at an artisinal bakery.

    Good info... one question: What happens when people apply cold pressed oil like coconut oil all over the body and sit in the sun? I have seen in the case of my grandfather and other elders that their skin does not tend to age or form wrinkles so fast and they had good Vitamin D levels throughout their life. They would sit in the sun at least once a week for about 30min or so...
