22 Health Benefits of Vitamin D, According to Science

Vitamin D Promotes Weight Loss

Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin so it is stored within the fat cells in our bodies.Vitamin D receptors tell the body whether it should store or burn the fat we consume. When you provide these receptors with more vitamin D it promotes the burning of fats over storing it. If receptors in your brain do not get enough vitamin D you tend to feel hungrier which can lead to excess snacking.Research shows that most people battling obesity have much lower vitamin D levels in their blood .When a study put 38 overweight adults on a specialised 11 week eating plan it was found that participants who started the diet with higher levels of vitamin D in their blood were more successful in losing weight than participants with low starting levels of vitamin D.
