The benefits of residential Solatubes

The most important benefit of residential Solatubes is providing us with the healthy benefits of the sun. Sunlight is beneficial to us in many ways. It contains vitamins that our body needs. Most people know that sunlight provides us with Vitamin D. 

Do you know that there are different types of Vitamin D? 

There are two types of vitamin D that our body needs. Vitamin D2 whose clinical term is ergocalciferol, and vitamin D3 whose clinical term is cholecalciferol. We get Vitamin D2 from the food we eat. It is present in plants that grow in sunlight and is an important supplement for our body. Vitamin D3 is produced by the human body when exposed to the rays of the sun. The body needs daily exposure to the sun to produce this vitamin. 

What are the deficiencies that could arise due to Vitamin D deficiency?

Your body needs a sufficient amount of Vitamin D to function effectively.

A report in the Women’s Health magazine, Why You Need More Vitamin D by Alisa Bowmen, states that studies have shown that vitamin D deficiency is linked to a large number of health problems; these include pregnancy related problems, several types of cancer, depression, heart disease and multiple sclerosis.

How can you ensure that your body is getting adequate Vitamin D?

A good exposure to sunlight everyday will ensure that your body receives adequate Vitamin D. These days, with our lifestyles, it is becoming increasingly difficult to get exposed to sunlight. Homes are insulated, and so are the workplaces. Schools are insulated, we travel in covered vehicles and we even exercise indoors in centrally temperature controlled gyms.
