Vitamin D and hormones, pineal gland, immunity

Vitamin D from the sun helps our bodies produce serotonin during the day which improves our mood, and which at night turns to melatonin and helps us sleep. It prevents the calcification of the pineal glad by helping the body absorb calcium. Vitamin D also helps with weight loss by stimulating the production of MSH hormone. It prevents many chronic illnesses, brings down inflammation, is beneficial to the heart, and can even help prevent certain cancers.
Sun exposure is the best way to get vitamin D, and shorter exposure time (15-20 min a day, 2-3 times a week) is sufficient. You will not produce more vitamin D by being in the sun longer, your body will stop when it got what it needed. If soaking up some sun is not an option, supplementing with D3 is important. Experts recommend taking 1,000 I.U’s per 25 lbs of body weight, however for the most accurate dosage, blood test is the best way to determine your daily dose.
