well hello today we’re gonna talk about vitamin D in relationship to your immune system now I had this idea that I already had this video and I searched and I couldn’t find it there may be a video out that I just can’t find that I already did but I’m just gonna do a video specifically on the immune system first thing you need to know is that vitamin D is intimately connected to every single immune reaction in fact the white blood cells have the ability to make vitamin D active so in vitamin E is very important in fact viruses as one of their strategies is to downgrade or turn off the vitamin D receptor so you can’t get any more vitamin D because apparently they know that vitamin E is very very important and so that’s one way that they thrive so vitamin D deficiencies occur when there’s not enough Sun right in the winter why do you think we have the spike of flu and other viral infections it’s because the vitamin D is low in fact in the pandemic of 1918 a Spanish flu it peaked in January which is in the winter now another thing that’s interesting about the winter months or basically between November and March we have much higher incidence of autoimmune diseases like lupus ms type 1 diabetes rheumatoid arthritis irritable bowel disease why because vitamin D is a natural kind of a steroid anti-inflammatory and so it has a key function in reducing inflammation when you have an autoimmune disease the thing that really creates the damage is the inflammatory process so if you have enough d you can have a lot less inflammation it’s the inflammation that causes all the collateral damage and what’s wild about this is our own body is creating damage and so that’s just it’s just really bizarre vitamin D is a immuno modulator okay what does that mean modulator it means that it helps to normalize something that is too much or too little so it brings into a normal range and specifically when we talk about like the cytokine storm where you have this hyper inflammatory condition we have this overreaction vitamin D can actually calm it down the ki cell that’s involved with suppressing this these cytokines or these inflammatory compounds is the T regulatory cell next thing we’re to talk about is there’s two compounds that your immune system makes as anti microbials and both of these need vitamin D vitamin D is essential in producing these two compounds the first one is called catalase side ins and cathal aside ins are produced by the phagocytes macrophages and neutrophils to act as a weapon to kill off microbes and they tend to damage the wall of the cell the cellular membrane of the pathogen and punch a hole in it and if there’s not enough vitamin D you’ll have just too much inflammation and when side effect would be psoriasis many times people with psoriasis have gut problems and they can’t absorb vitamin D in which case they need to take higher doses next chemical is defense in you need vitamin D to make defensive defense and is needed in the mucous membranes breast milk has defensin it’s a very powerful antimicrobial if you don’t have vitamin D this can also get out of control and it can create rosacea another remedy for rosacea which is like the reddish cheeks vitamin D now before antibiotics doctors used a vitamin D compound in cod liver oil as the remedy to help infections like TB for example so cod liver oil was used son was recommended for TB but then it came antibiotics and then the cod liver oil was no longer talked about except by your grandmother cod liver oil is a really good source of vitamin D and vitamin A for the mucous membranes and omega-3 fatty acids DHA and EPA but the Sun not only gives you vitamin D but it has other properties too that can help lower infection there are therapeutic benefits from the UV light and other wavelengths including infrared I just want to give you an overall understanding of the importance of vitamin D and also let you know that it’s virtually impossible to get your vitamin D from food you need to get it from Sun ideally and during the winter months take it as a supplement see you in the next video with another amazing recipe no brains no sugar totally Kido there’s no suffering kita absolutely not Karen and it’s an immune system builder absolutely you have to check this out I think you should hurry up watch the recipe and make it yourself it’s just so easy to be keto but is it simple it’s super simple we hope you enjoy making it as much as we are enjoying eating
