Health protection thanks to the sun

A new study has confirmed that vitamin D plays a key role in protecting the body from inflammatory diseases.

Vitamin D, or more commonly known as the sun vitamin, is absorbed by the body from food, or more from sun exposure. This kind of vitamin has just been discovered to play an important role in improving our immune system.

Scientists at the University of Copenhagen, Denmark discovered that vitamin D helps the immune system activate the body's defense functions by "armed" to T cells - the type of cells responsible The task of finding and destroying invading bacteria and viruses - helps them work more effectively. Without enough vitamin D, T cells will not be able to react and protect the body from infection.

In order for T cells to perform their tasks, such as destroying a group of pathogenic bacteria or viruses, it must first be activated to switch from a benign cell to an assassin warrior. Can find and destroy the "Gentiles". And this activation depends largely on vitamin D. If the amount of vitamin D in the blood is not enough, T cells will still maintain their harmless benignness, and therefore will not protect the body.

This finding provides the necessary information about our immune system and thus helps us to improve it. The information is not only important in protecting the body from disease but also helps to solve the 'strange part excretion' of the body.

Vitamin D has long been known for its role in helping the body absorb calcium and its relevance in the treatment of cancers and multiple sclerosis. Now there's another important finding about this sun vitamin. Scientists say the new discovery will be used when developing new vaccines.

Most of the vitamin D is naturally synthesized by the body when skin is exposed to the sun. It is also found in foods such as cod liver oil, eggs, and fatty fish such as salmon, herring, and mackerel, or it is also included in other supplements.

With such a big role for the body but the cost is extremely low, almost nothing, take advantage of this natural gift to have a healthy body.
