Scientists have found a way to combat vitamin D deficiency

Regular exercise can help the body maintain adequate levels of vitamin D even without supplementing with vitamin D. This conclusion was reached by British researchers who studied the relationship between physical activity and the metabolism of this substance. The findings are published in the journal Frontiers in Endocrinology.

Experts have found that positive changes can occur after one workout. Within a few hours after exercise in the blood temporarily increased the concentration of vitamin D and its biologically active form, involved in important body processes.

Even more noticeable results were observed in systematic exercises. It turned out that physical activity helps slow the decline in vitamin D levels in the winter, when the body receives less sunlight. Moreover, the effect persisted regardless of weight loss, and in regularly trained participants of seasonal decline, concentrations of the active form of the vitamin were not found at all.

According to scientists, sports can affect the metabolism of vitamin D immediately after exercise, and in the long term. This allows us to consider physical activity as an additional way to prevent its deficiency. However, the researchers emphasize that training should not be considered a full-fledged replacement for vitamin supplements if their intake is necessary for medical reasons.
