Sunlight increases Vitamin D in your body.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Awesome supplement<\/strong><br \/>Vitamin D continues to \u00a0prove that it\u2019s one of the most important vitamins you can take. Calcium plus Vitamin D may cut body fat. <br \/>Shows anti-diabetic activity. Helps protect blood vessel health. Helps control blood sugar. \u00a0Cuts fat mass.<br \/>May reduce depression. Lots of healthy benefits, but Vitamin D does more than just improve your overall health profile. Scientists have learned that it can create a tremendous boost to athletes including the benefit of building muscle. Vitamin D is helpful in promoting muscle growth because your muscle fibers have Vitamin D receptors and, when adequate Vitamin D is provided, studies have shown that these receptors encourage greater leg and grip strength. When Vitamin D is plentiful, it interacts with receptors, signaling genes to increase muscle strength and mass. Basically, Vitamin D gets converted in your body into a steroid hormone (1,25- dihydroxy Vitamin D); so, it\u2019s logical to conclude that Vitamin D has a musclebuilding effect. Excess Vitamin D is then stored in fat tissue so that it will be available for future use. While your body can\u2019t increase its receptors, getting in an adequate amount of Vitamin D will help make sure that your body is able to maximize strength and muscle mass by saturating the receptors that you have. Why athletes need Vitamin D It\u2019s important for active people, especially athletes and those who train intensely in the gym, to get enough Vitamin D. Sports Medicine Researchers recently did a study that found that athlete who had low Vitamin D levels suffered more muscle injuries than those who had higher labels.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How much Vitamin D3 should you take? <\/strong>Supplementing with Vitamin D3 is a must, even in summer. Vitamin D3 is usually sold in soft gels. For best results, supplement 1,000 IU of Vitamin D3 once or twice a day with food. In general, take 2,000-5,000 IU of Vitamin D3 every day to make sure you\u2019re getting enough of this extremely important nutrient. Outdoor workouts are a key benefit in summer, but don\u2019t forget to protect your skin. Careful of the sun<br \/>Beeing in the sun is not a <br \/>risk-free activity, not just because of painful sunburn but the possibility of developing the worst, Melanoma (skin cancer). While you need the enriching nutrients of sunlight, you need to protect yourself from overexposure to UV rays. Using sun block is essential if you plan to be outside for long stretches of time. Pick a quality brand with a minimum of 15 SPF, and use 30 SPF if you have sensitive skin. While sun block helps you bronze safely by blocking <br \/>some of the most harmful UV molecules, it also limits the amount of Vitamin D you absorb. Therefore, supplementing with Vitamin D is crucial no matter your racial background or age.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-9bc929a elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"9bc929a\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-763cd36\" data-id=\"763cd36\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-acbc92f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"acbc92f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5><strong>Why Your Support Matters<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>We are independently owned and operated and support local fitness and health professionals, writers, photographers, designers and artists.<\/p>\n<p>Please consider supporting FIT&amp;STRONG Magazine by donating a small amount of $2 via PayPal below will help us continue to take FIT&amp;STRONG into the future.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e26fe9d elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"e26fe9d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t[wpedon id=3069]\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-66 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-a40fce9\" data-id=\"a40fce9\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>VITAMIN D IS ESSENTIAL FOR YOUR HEALTH AND HELPS YOU TO GET FIT AND STRONG.
