Every tenth Dane. This is the number of people who get enough vitamin D through their diet.
The “Health magazine”, which is a program from the DR, also tested 37 employees at Spies Rejser, the result was that half lacked vitamin D in the blood. Then imagine the number within the IT industry. Therefore, we have chosen to write an article that deals with how you can get the right amount of vitamin D.
Vitamin D is important, as it contributes to strong bones, strong immune system and normal muscles. In addition, people who lack vitamin D will feel tired and dull. Fortunately, vitamin D deficiency is relatively easy to get cured.
Not enough sun in Denmark
One of the biggest problems is that we simply do not have enough sun hours in Denmark, and in the winter season we can not form vitamin D in the skin simply because the sun is not powerful enough. In addition, our diet does not make it better. We are simply too bad to eat vitamin D Foods. The average intake of vitamin D should be 10 micrograms daily, but in Denmark we are unfortunately only 2-4 micrograms. In Finland, Norway and Sweden, which received more micrograms than us, but still not enough, the choice has been made to add vitamin D to selected foods-but not yet in Denmark.
What level are we going up to?
If you work with IT, whether you are an advisor, running a webshop or sitting and working on generating traffic to other people’s web space, then you can be sure you are not at the right level. In general, people in the IT industry are exposed to less sun than many other professions.
The Danish Health Authority recommends that our blood should contain at least 50 nmol / L, but chief physician Jens-Erik Beck Jensen told in the DR program that if you are to fully benefit from vitamin D’s effect on the body, the real number is probably closer to 75 nmol/L.
Eat fish
Especially fatty fish such as mackerel, salmon and cod liver are filled with vitamin D. The only way one can get vitamin D through the diet is through animal foods. There are few mushrooms that contain a small level of vitamin D. Usually it is said that one should eat between 200 to 300 grams of fish per week. You can search the web if you want to know how the vitamin D content is in the fish you eat.
Vitamin pills
If you have been to the doctor and had your vitamin D level measured and if it is below the limit, then it is recommended to take a supplement of vitamin D. Vitamin pills also help against that you do not get pain in the muscles and bones from lack of vitamin. In addition, it is also smart to take vitamin pills if you:
– Not coming out
– Is very covered in the sun
– Are vegan
If you do not eat fatty fish every day, then it may still be optimal for you to eat a vitamin pill.
Alcohol
Vitamin D from the sun is absorbed by the skin, but the vitamin D we eat must be processed in the kidneys and liver. Drinking too much alcohol during the winter months can have an effect on your body’s ability to make vitamin D. Therefore, be very careful how much you drink in the winter season.
Be active
Be sure to get out when the sun is out, even if you do not absorb vitamin D during the winter season, the sun still has great importance for your psyche. A good and entertaining way to get exploited the sun is to ride a bike. If you need an excuse to get on the bike, then play tourist in your own city. If you do not own a bike, then you can easily rent in most cities. In addition, you can always google your way to one, for example, if you are from Copenhagen you can search for ”rent a bike copenhagen”.
It is important to check if you suffer from vitamin D deficiency. Therefore, be sure to come to the doctor and have your vitamin level examined in the blood. You also need to take into account your age when it comes to vitamin D. You can read more about this on the website of the Danish Health Authority.
