How exactly do our bodies make vitamin D?⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ {𝗟𝗶𝗻𝗸 𝗶𝗻 𝗯𝗶𝗼 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘃𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗻 𝗗 𝗯𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗳𝗶𝘁𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗱𝗼 𝗡𝗢𝗧 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘀 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗼𝗻! ☀️}⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ For those inquiring minds, here ya go:⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ 1️⃣ The molecule 7-dehydrocholesterol acts as a precursor to vitamin D3 (aka cholecalciferol).⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ 2️⃣ When UV rays from the sun hit our skin, 7-dehydrocholesterol is turned into vitamin D3, which is then carried to two organs to eventually become the vitamin D we know and love.⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ 3️⃣ First, vitamin D3 stops at the liver and is converted to 25-hydroxyvitamin D [aka 25(OH)D].⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ 4️⃣ Next, this 25(OH)D travels to the kidneys, where it becomes 1,25 dihydroxyvitamin D [aka 1,25(OH)2D] or calcitriol.⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ 5️⃣ Calcitriol is the active form of vitamin D, which we know works to do SO many amazing things in our body along with other nutrients ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ 𝗠𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘄𝗲 𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝘃𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗻 𝗗 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗳𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗹𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 + 𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗸 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗸 𝗶𝗻 𝗯𝗶𝗼 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗹 𝗹𝗼𝘄𝗱𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝘂𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗳𝗶𝘁𝘀!⁠ 😎

Let’s all give a round of applause for Simone Bi Let’s all give a round of applause for Simone Biles. According to NBC, Simone was inspired by Naomi Osaka, to prioritize her mental health. “Put mental health first, because if you don’t, then you’re not going to enjoy your sport and you’re not going to succeed as much as you want to,” she said. “So it’s OK sometimes to even sit out…” How can we not admire her for this? Simone’s stance to prioritize her mental health and lean on her community and family for support is a beautiful example of self-care (or what we call nurturing yourself) and self awareness. You are our super hero Simone. 📷: @goodmorningamerica @glamourmag @healthmagazine #simonebiles #tokyoolympics #olympics #gymnastics #health
