Application to calculate vitamin D in the body
Recently, several studies have demonstrated the benefits of consuming vitamin D, which is related to the health of the heart, bones, muscles and other parts of the body.
There are two ways to obtain adequate amounts: through food and sunlight, but it is not always possible to measure if adequate levels are reached.
Researchers from the University of Guelph, in Canada, have carried out an investigation into the application “Vitamin D Calculator“.
Asked 25 people, between 18 and 25 years old, who used the application. Record the intake of foods with vitamin D, the time of exposure to the sun and vitamin D and calcium supplements.
At the end of the experiment, a result was obtained, and we demonstrated that the application is efficient to control vitamin D intake in the body.
However, it is correct to see a doctor and carry out a test, because taking vitamin D does not ensure that the vitamin D levels are adequate for the body.
The application is available for iPhone, you can only download it from the App store. To use it, you need to enter your personal data, type of skin, time spent in the sun and daily meals.
It is necessary to keep your arms and legs exposed to the sun for 20 minutes to change the calciferol. The foods that can provide vitamin D are tuna, sardines, eggs, meat and cheddar cheese.
Both sources of vitamin D, generate medical discussion, because some foods that generate vitamin D, are very fatty, and remain exposed to the sun for a long time, without sunscreen is contraindicated by dermatology institutions, due to the risk of developing skin cancer skin.
Other options are some types of milk, breakfast cereals or vitamin D supplements, but these must be taken under medical supervision.
How much vitamin D do I need to consume per day? You should consume 400 IU (International Units) daily, which is equivalent to 10 micrograms or 0.1 milligrams.
