Surprise! This 1 thing makes you live longer
When I was a kid, “fresh air and sunshine” were considered the best medicine.
Somewhere between when I was a kid and now, people started to believe that sunshine is dangerous.
And while it is true that if you don’t take certain measures, too much sun on your skin can cause aging…
The fact is, exposure to sunlight is actually vital to our health.
Our bodies make vitamin D when our skin is exposed to sunlight.
If we spend lots of time indoors and don’t get much sun, then our vitamin D levels are likely to be low.
Low vitamin D levels also happen a lot in the winter time, because people are indoors more often.
When our bodies get low in vitamin D, it causes problems.
In a study from Australia of over 300,000 people, researchers found that people who had low levels of vitamin D (under 25 nmol/l)…
…were far more likely to die over the course of 14 years than those who had normal levels of vitamin D.
There were 18 700 deaths during the 14 years of follow-up. The association of genetically predicted 25-(OH)D with all-cause mortality was L-shaped (P for nonlinearity < 0.001), and risk for death decreased steeply with increasing concentrations until 50 nmol/L.
Personally, I love looking at numbers like this.
I think that all cause mortality studies are some of the most useful studies out there…
…because they tell you whether or not something actually makes you live longer — which is really the goal, right?
In this study, they found that people with vitamin D levels of 50mnol/L lived longer than those with lower vitamin D levels.
Our study supports a causal relationship between vitamin D deficiency and mortality. Additional research needs to identify strategies that meet the National Academy of Medicine’s guideline of greater than 50 nmol/L and that reduce the premature risk for death associated with low vitamin D levels.
Another study from Norway showed similar results.
This study was done over 18 years and they found that low vitamin D levels increased the risk of death.
The median follow-up time was 18.5 years, during which 1539 subjects died. The HRs for all-cause mortality associated with the first quartile level of 25(OH)D (<34.5 nmol/L) as compared with the fourth quartile (≥58.1 nmol/L) before and after adjustment for chronic diseases at baseline were 1.30 (95% CI 1.11 to 1.51) and 1.27 (95% CI 1.09 to 1.48), respectively. In the subjects without chronic diseases at baseline and with further exclusion of the first 3 years of follow-up, the corresponding adjusted HR was 1.34 (95% CI 1.09 to 1.66).
In this study, they took into account chronic diseases and still found that having higher vitamin D levels led to fewer deaths.
Low serum 25(OH)D level was associated with increased all-cause mortality in a general Norwegian population. The association was not notably influenced by existing chronic diseases.
In my opinion, the best possible way to get vitamin D is from the sun.
But supplements do work for many people as well.
If you want to supplement vitamin D, then you should use the D3 type of supplement.
You can get your doctor to give you a blood test to see where you are now and where you are after regular sun exposure and/or supplementation.
Vitamin D levels are critical to a long life and are worth paying attention to.

This one killer hormone is draining men of their vitamin D levels
I’ve discovered one killer hormone responsible for up to 80% of men’s health and sex problems…
And one of the first things this killer hormone does is drain men of their vitamin D levels.
See, this killer hormone starts by draining certain key nutrients that the body needs — key nutrients that naturally fight off this killer hormone…
…nutrients like vitamin D!
Fortunately, my Golden Ratio protocol keeps these key nutrients high while protecting you from the killer hormone.
It’s the next step for men taking vitamin D who still can’t seem to benefit from it the way they should be…
Discover the Golden Ratio protocol now before it’s too late
