What Do You Know About Sunscreen, Vitamin D and Calcium?
Perhaps one of the most active minerals in your body is calcium, which requires vitamin D to be absorbed into your bloodstream. Close to 90% of the USA population is deficient in vitamin D. This means that they are also deficient in Calcium. That is why so many people have diseases – liver, kidney, heart, joint, respiratory, bone, nerve, nutritional – that are related to the lack of calcium.
So why do so many people lack vitamin D? Vitamin D is not found in very many foods and when it is in low quantities. You should get most of the vitamin D your body needs from the Sun. But you can also get it from supplements and some foods that are fortified with vitamin D
Creating Vitamin D
When the sun’s UV light hits your skin, fatty acids, or cholesterol in your skin create vitamin D and Inositol triphosphate, INSP-3. In 5 to 10-minute skin exposure to the sun, 20,000 units of vitamin D are created. This vitamin D finds its way into your intestinal wall where it assists calcium to move through its walls and into your bloodstream.
No matter how much calcium food you eat or calcium supplements you take, you will not absorb the calcium your body needs without a large supply of vitamin D.
Inositol triphosphate
Inositol triphosphate is also created when the sun creates vitamin D. Inositol triphosphate then finds its way into every body cell. Its function is to release calcium that is stored in your cells when your body is deficient in calcium. When you don’t have enough calcium in your blood and in and around your cell liquid, inositol triphosphate will activate the release of calcium from your cell walls.
Calcium Depletion
What is important here is that once you deplete the calcium in your cell walls, your body starts taking calcium from your bones. After it weakens your bones, it starts getting calcium from protein that makes up your body cells. All of this activity eventually leads to serious degenerative diseases in the cardiovascular, joint, nerve, organ, and cell systems.
Since calcium is at work everywhere in your body, your whole body is compromised when you lack calcium. Recent studies have shown that the lack of vitamin D is one of the causes of cancer and this is related to the lack of calcium.
Sunscreen
Now, how does sunscreen come into play in vitamin D deficiency? With the hot days of summer, many people use sunscreen thinking they are doing something good for themselves. Most sunscreen blocks the UVB sun radiation that allows your body to create Vitamin D.
Sometimes UVB does not provide the block for the UVA radiation, which is responsible for sunburn and skin cancer. When you do need a good sunscreen make sure it blocks both UVB and UVA, since both UVA and UVB cause tanning and burning.
Make sure you get enough sunshine at least 30 minutes a day since most of your body is covered and only your arm and face may be exposed. This will create plenty of vitamin D that is necessary for calcium absorption.
Use a vitamin D supplement, you can overdose on vitamin D. Vitamin D also creates Inositol triphosphate, which regulates and control calcium when calcium becomes deficient in your body. Use sunscreen on occasion and make sure it does not have toxin chemicals that get into your blood as you put them on your skin.
