Vit. D as an inevitable supplement. Almost every individual today including children have had or are having Vit. D Supplement even in the country like ours, where sunshine is abundant except during rains and some hilly regions. Reason?? 90%of the time staying indoors. We all know that supplements are easily available and they do correct the deficiencies too, so why worry?
Well, in this video i am trying to educate my own people that a synthetic version of something can't replace the natural. The supplement may correct your deficiency but it cannot by any means regulate your circadian rhythm which works synergistically with nature. Sunlight helps you produce melatonin, a hormone that regulates our sleep, as it is light dependent. Only sunlight exposure can ensure proper balance between our cortisol & melatonin cycle. As the sun shines, cortisol ( the stress hormone) starts rising, it is supposed to be elevated just enough to perform your tasks while melatonin remains low, and as the day finishes and it starts getting dark, melatonin rises whereas cortisol drops. This balance is achieved only with alternate light & dark phenomenon. This is the reason for chronic stress today, cortisol isn't dropping, it remains elevated even at night. Hence, sleep disorders, anxiety, mood swings and related disorders.
Dear folks, we are a blessed nation. Let's start living holistically in sync with nature. Sunbathing for 15-20 mins is a must on daily basis. Practice for 3 days and you will see the change. Condition: 60% of the skin should be exposed , no sunscreens, best time : 11 am to 3 pm in winters, 9 am to 2 pm in summers.
Disclaimer: people with severe deficiencies ought to take vit D supplements after consulting their doctor, continue sunbathing. Mild to moderate deficiency can be corrected by sunlight within 4 to 6 months.
