so you can get your vitamin d from food right  now you can it’s almost impossible unless you  

consume fatty fish every single day of the week  vitamin d is called the sunshine vitamin because  

you’re supposed to get it from the sun but it’s  a bit difficult take a look at this if you’re out  

in the sun for 10 minutes you’re gonna get about  a thousand international units of vitamin d  

okay just a thousand that’s not that much but  that’s only if you live close to the equator  

and if you’re young and not overweight and don’t  have diabetes and it’s summer day it’s the mid  

part of the day and you’re lying down not standing  up because the sun can’t really go through your  

head right it’s just a little is going to  go on your face but not the rest of the body  

if you’re not using sunscreen if you have  a healthy liver if there’s no clouds out if  

there’s no pollution that’s blocking the sun  rays if there’s no genetic defects if there’s  

no gastrointestinal damage because inflammation in  scar tissue blocks the vitamin d absorption also  

if there’s no gallbladder removal because you need  bile salts to help you absorb vitamin d so the  

point i’m trying to make is the reason why people  are deficient is because they’re not getting it  

from their diet and they’re not getting it from  the sun because of these factors right here
