    Let me tell ya..I assumed i was just low on testosterone since I’m in my 40’s. I was gaining weight quickly, suffered from short term memory loss and was exhausted all day. Had blood work done and turns out my vitamin D level was at a 3! Started taking D supplement and it cured it all. My energy levels went up and I lost 30lbs like it was nothing. And now I can even remember what I ate for breakfast lol. I was amazed at the role it plays on your body.

    I was 24 when I moved to Canada in 2017.
    But, I was born in southern India where the tropical climate plays a big role. I was under the sun almost every day I felt really healthy, never obese, and more active, and it's very rare I got sick.
    After experiencing the first winter in Canada which is 5 months of cold weather - I stayed inside all those months. I gained weight, felt sick, and Dehydrated most of the time. And also the diet here in America is so bad. I got to the doctor-prescribed Vitamin D. I'm back on track.
    My advice is to go out in the summer - get all you can. All living things in this world need SUN to survive.

    Before lockdown i was already living a stangent lifestyle inside my home due to being jobless and lockdown made it worse. My health declined, lost 13 kg without even trying, 2tooths got rct, hairfalls and much more.
    All this made me realise one important thing, that's more important than proper diet, that is, just move your body, no matter what just don't lie down and rest for long, it'll ruin you. It's not a coincidence that we get vit d from sun, if you move your asss, you're gonna get this vit while being exposed to sun while moving. Human body is very smart. You don't need to add anything extraordinary just eat normal and be active always.

      Unless you can put numbers on it, like how many minutes sun exposure you actually need per day, for given amounts of skin uncovered by clothing, there is no point in teaching it - it's in practice meaningless. Especially when school kids are strongly taught that sun exposure leads to skin cancer and they must be fully covered or covered in UV blocking cream at all times in the sun. How do you expect them to resolve this dilemma when even doctors don't know.

    Very informative video, thank you!
    I tested last year and had a very low level of vitamin D. When I started to research more about it, I was surprised to see that there are not so many food sources of vitamin D and most of them come from animals.
    As a vegetarian, my options were limited, so I opted for suppliments. While doing the research, I also came across the 'dillema' between using sunscreen and the absortion of vitamin D from the sun. From what I read until now, the opinions are divided since there is no much data about whether the suncreen inhibits the absortion of vitamin D. Theoretically, that should be the case, that since the suncreen blocks the UV rays, the absortion of vitamin D should be inhibited.
    I did not found many studies, but the ones I read conclusioned that using suncreen does not have so much impact on the absortion of vitamin D.
    Could you explain more this topic? because I am still a little confused.
    Thank you very much!

      Should not apply sunscreen for the first 10 - 15 minutes of expsoure to the sun except for the face to prevent wrinkles. After that time period apply it right away, because when you pass that period of time your skin will stop producing Vit D3 due to sunburn, and sunburn leads to skin cancer.
      Please remember when you try getting Vit D3 from the sun, you only should wear swimsuit. Topless and shorts only, face is exceptional, you can wear hat, sunglasses, or even apply suncreen on your face.
