There are many different factors that affect the body positively or negatively during the weight loss process
. Especially the effect of vitamins on slimming and fat burning has been proven by research conducted by famous
research centers in recent years. In various tests conducted on many experimental groups, it has been determined that among the vitamin groups, especially vitamin D has a significant effect on fat burning.
Vitamin D has important benefits on obesity in many aspects. A few years ago, while researching how reducing daily calories affects hormones at the University of Minnesota
, the effects of vitamin D on weight loss began to be examined as a result of a few small findings. In the tests conducted on vitamin D, it was noticed that there are great differences in terms of weight loss between people who take vitamin D daily and people who do not meet their daily vitamin D needs and consume small amounts of vitamin D. In fact, it has been observed that when very small amounts of vitamin D are given to people who do not meet their daily vitamin D needs, their daily weight loss increases even more. These experiments proved that vitamin D is one of the important factors that fight fat in the human body.
Vitamin D is a fat-soluble hormone precursor. Vitamin D has two important forms for humans; Ergocalciferol (Vitamin D2) – Cholecalciferol (Vitamin D3).
While Vitamin D2 is produced by plants, Vitamin D3 is formed in humans as a result of exposure of the skin to UV radiation in sunlight. In addition to natural forms of vitamins D2 and D3, there are also artificially produced forms. Vitamin D2 and Vitamin D3 are converted to 25-Hydroxyvitamin D form by the liver. This form passes into the circulation and goes to the kidneys, where the active form Calcitriol, i.e. 1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D, is formed. The mechanisms by which Vitamin D generally plays a role in the body are as follows: It helps strengthen muscle strength and immune functions. It has anti-inflammatory properties. It induces calcium absorption from the small intestine. It ensures sufficient blood levels of calcium and phosphate, which are necessary for bone formation, mineralization, growth and repair. A person's Vitamin D level It is determined by the level of 30-Hydroxyvitamin D in the rum.
The main source of Vitamin D is sunlight. Very few foods such as fatty fish, liver, butter, mackerel, tuna, potatoes and egg yolk naturally contain vitamin D. It is also found in meat and cheese in small amounts. But none of these are rich resources. In other words, it is very difficult to eliminate vitamin D deficiency with daily nutrition. Vitamin D enrichment is done in dairy products abroad, but it is not currently a mandatory practice in our country. Vitamin D is considered a fat-soluble vitamin. Approximately 80-90% of it is synthesized in the skin thanks to ultraviolet rays. 10%-20% is also taken through food. It is very important to provide suitable conditions to synthesize vitamin D
through sunlight. The skin needs to be in direct sunlight, vitamin D synthesis does not occur when it is behind a window or glass. Body cream with more than 8 SPF protection It prevents the synthesis of vitamin D. The zenith angle, which is a special angle at which the sun's rays reach the earth's surface, is necessary for the synthesis of vitamin D. Vitamin D synthesis in our country occurs between May and November. For the appropriate beam angle, the hours are between 10.00 and 15.00.
Taking enough vitamin D daily ensures less secretion of leptin, which causes hunger in the body, allowing people to eat less and become hungry later.
According to the research; It has been determined that people who eat vitamin D-rich foods at breakfast can stay full for longer during the day and eat much less than other days. This proves the positive effect of vitamin D on appetite. Adequate vitamin D taken daily also affects insulin resistance, which causes constant hunger and overeating, a nightmare for dieters, and can prevent this problem. When there is sufficient amount of vitamin D in the body, fat stores slow down their work and begin to store less fat in the body. Vitamin D helps burn fat throughout the body, but it makes it possible to slim down mostly in the abdomen and waist area. Vitamin D, which is a compatible duo with calcium, prevents stress, which causes fat around the belly and waist. It reduces hormones, namely cortisol.
