Swallow yourself slim with vitamin D and Calcium. Tip of the week 24

Swallow yourself slim with vitamin D and Calcium, an important duo in losing weight. Is it necessary to take dietary supplements for these vitamins? Don't we just get this through food? No. Not always enough.

Swallow yourself slim with vitamin D

Eat varied according to the Disk of Five and try to spend half an hour in the sun every day between 11:00 and 15:00. The sun causes vitamin D to be produced in our skin. Vitamin D increases resistance and strengthens our bones. In fact, vitamin D promotes the absorption of calcium in our blood which benefits our bones.

People with blood Calcium deficiency are often prescribed Calcium tablets along with vitamin D to support and promote Calcium absorption.

In addition, Calcium not only supports bone building and strengthening, it also promotes fat burning!

Swallow yourself slim with Calcium

Research has shown that Calcium inhibits fat cell growth and also promotes fat burning around the waist. Calcium appears to adhere to fat (stored in the body) and dispose of it through the stool.

So anyone who ensures a sufficient intake of Calcium per day and also produces enough vitamin D by eating a varied diet and spending time outdoors responsibly, automatically gains another natural weight-loss tool!

Many people are vitamin D deficient.

Especially people who:

being vegetarian or vegan
wearing covering clothes (long sleeves, hats, headscarves, burkas)
little time outdoors
live in institutions
be over 70 years of age
be pregnant
have a dark complexion
unhealthy and unvaried eating
drink a lot of alcohol
follow a low-fat or fat-free diet
be overweight

Fortunately, this is quite easy to supplement with supplements. Overdosing can be harmful so do check with your doctor.
