Are you gaining weight? Your warm home in winter may be contributing to your weight gain. Can’t believe, see for yourself…

According to a recently published review paper, more time spent in thermal comfort may promote obesity, by turning down the body’s own thermostat and its ability to effectively burn fat. According to the authors, reduced exposure to seasonal cold may have a dual effect on energy expenditure, both minimizing the need for physiological thermogenesis and reducing thermogenic capacity.

The authors have also discussed about the role of brown adipose tissue in human heat production. Brown fat differs from white fat in that it has the capacity to burn energy to create heat, and its development in the body is thought to be triggered by exposure to cold temperatures.

The rise in the prevalence of obesity needs greater concern. Studies have also found association between low vitamin D levels and obesity. Vitamin D supplements have the potential to fight obesity. Want to learn more about vitamin D and its association with obesity? Click here.

People with insufficient vitamin D are at an 85 percent increased risk of depression compared with those who have sufficient levels.

Researchers from Georgia State University evaluated data from 7,970 individuals aged 15 to 39 in the United States. All the participants underwent an assessment of depression through use of the National Institute of Mental Health’s Diagnostic Interview Schedule.

The investigators found that subjects who had blood levels of vitamin D of 50 nmol/L or less had an 85 percent increased risk of experiencing current depressive symptoms when compared with subjects who had blood levels of at least 75 nmol/L.

Although previous research has indicated that a vitamin D deficiency is associated with a risk of depression, results of this new study add more support for this relationship.

Vitamin D supplementation can help you increase vitamin D levels. D10 is the only vitamin D3 supplement which provides 10,000 IU of vitamin D3 simulating the natural Vitamin D3 pulse.

Greater levels of vitamin D have been linked to a lower risk of Parkinson’s disease according to a study from Finland.

We have been stressing the need for higher RDA for quite some time now. Investigators across the world are providing increasing levels of evidence on the several different roles of Vitamin D in our body and and this recent study from Finland found that vitamin D has an impact on the neuro-functioning of our body. Similar to earlier publications, this study has demonstrated that the current RDA may not be sufficient for providing healthy vitamin D levels.

The study involved more than 3000 Parkinson’s-free Finnish men and women aged 50-79 over a 29-year period from 1978-2007. The subjects with low levels of vitamin D (less than 30 ng/ml) had a three-fold higher risk of developing Parkinson’s disease later in life.

See our last week’s post on the protective effect of optimal Vitamin D levels on Metabolic Syndrome in elderly and now this study is bringing out the protective effect of vitamin D in Parkinson’s disease. We are certain that high dose vitamin D supplement  D10 with natural ‘Pulse Factor’ will help optimize your vitamin D levels.

As discussed in the article “Vitamin D: Most of us need more”, 3 recent studies have shown that vitamin D deficiency is common in rheumatic patients and that the current RDA of 800-1,000 IU is not sufficient to normalize vitamin D levels. Findings were presented at the recently held EULAR 2010, the Annual Congress of the European League against Rheumatism in Rome, Italy.

The first one was a UK study on 180 arthritic patients, which concluded that 58% of the subjects had vitamin D levels less than the sufficient levels of 48-145 nmol/L.

The second study was an Italian Study in which nearly 2000 RA patients were recruited to determine a correlation between vitamin D deficiency and several different clinical measures of disease activity. Researchers found that vitamin D levels were lower in 85% of the patients not taking a vitamin D supplement and in 60% of those taking 800 IU or more vitamin D daily as a supplement. It indicates that a much higher intake of vitamin D is needed to achieve healthy levels.

Dr. L. Idolazzi, author of the study supported the need of long term studies to examine the clinical response of patients to vitamin D supplementation.

The third one was also an Italian study which evaluated the affect of vitamin D supplementation of 800-1000 IU per day in patients with inflammatory and non-inflammatory autoimmune diseases. The results were surprising! Only 29% patients achieved healthy vitamin D levels after supplementation. Dr. Pier Paolo Sainaghi interpreted that daily 800-1,000 IU supplementation is not sufficient to normalize vitamin D levels in patients with rheumatologic or bone conditions.
