hey guys I’m back and I recently did a video on why taking vitamin D can help you lose weight today we’re going to talk about the reverse of that your fat cells actually determine your vitamin D levels now this is a bit complex so I’m going to attempt to make it very simple so hopefully I won’t confuse you more but I did put the link of the video down below and also it’ll be at the end of this video okay so what are we talking about we’re talking about how much fat you have on your body and your vitamin D level so there’s two things you need to know the fatter you are the less vitamin D you’re gonna have obese people have very low vitamin D levels when you lose weight you actually increase your vitamin D level okay but why why does your vitamin D levels go up when you lose weight in order to understand that we have to understand a couple additional things so there’s this relationship between fat and vitamin D the less vitamin D you have the fatter you’re going to become and the less vitamin D you have can increase weight as well and we’re talking about expanding the adipocytes all right so what’s the missing piece of the puzzle is this little guy right here which I rarely talk about insulin or insulin resistance right that’s insulin and insulin resistance so if you have too much insulin over a period of time your body becomes resistant and now insulin is dysfunctional and your body starts making more and more and more of it so in other words certain functions of insulin are not working for example your ability to absorb glucose your ability to absorb nutrients your ability to lower blood sugars okay becomes a problem however certain other functions of insulin are not affected like insulins function to store fat and also prevent fat burning so you get fatter but you’re not able to adjust the blood sugars or absorb the nutrient or absorb the fuel in your cells so the cells are always hungry all the time and insulin resistance is what’s behind diabetes type 2 also insulin causes the pre adipocytes which is the pre fat cells to turn into the adipocyte we is the actual fat so what you need to know is this insulin and in some resistance increase this okay and it goes the other way too the more fat you have the more insulin resistance you’re going to have so we talked about these two relationships we’ve talked about this relationship right here but now there’s another relationship over here with vitamin D and insulin when you take vitamin D you actually lower insulin and you improve insulin resistance why because vitamin D enhances their survival of the cells that make insulin in the pancreas they’re called beta cells this is why it’s so essential for a diabetic or a pre-diabetic or someone that has insulin resistance to make sure they have enough vitamin D because the actual transition between insulin resistance pre-diabetes and diabetes occurs when you get dysfunction in the pancreas so if you have enough vitamin D you may not get that dysfunction in the beta cells the cells that produce insulin and you may not develop a full-blown diabetic State so in summary the reason why your fat cells determine your vitamin D levels really has to do with this relationship right here the more fat you have the more insulin you have more insulin resistance you have when you lose weight and you have less fat in your body you’re going to have less insulin lessons and resistance and you’re gonna have more vitamin D I may have completely and utterly confused or even more hopefully I didn’t but check out this other video on the screen to show you the relationship between taking vitamin D and losing weight thanks for watching
