“Sunshine Vitamin” MELTS Fat

As you get older, losing weight can feel downright impossible.  

You eat like a bird… you spend hours on the treadmill… and you haven’t eaten dessert in months.  

But your scale has yet to BUDGE.  

Fortunately, it doesn’t have to be this way any longer. 

New research shows that getting more of a certain “sunshine vitamin” can help you MELT those extra pounds once and for all.   

And getting more of it couldn’t be easier.  

A new study published in the International Journal of Obesity shows that maintaining your vitamin D levels as you age may be the BEST way to SHED unwanted pounds.  

You see, the more vitamin D you have, the more leptin your body produces.  

Leptin is a hormone made by fat cells found around your small intestines that sends signals to your brain when you’re full.  

So, when your leptin levels are high you don’t feel very hungry. And keeping this hormone balanced is one of the easiest ways to lose weight or keep your weight stable.  

The researchers in the study found the best way to boost your own vitamin D levels was to get regular exercise.  

But there are a few other ways to boost your vitamin D… and you won’t have to break a sweat doing them 

First, get more sun exposure.  

Vitamin D is called the sunshine vitamin because sunlight helps your body naturally produce this crucial nutrient.  Getting at least 15 minutes of unprotected sunlight a day should help boost your levels. 

Or if you live in a climate that’s not conducive to sunbathing, you can get a vitamin D supplement at your local pharmacy.  

Now, just imagine how your waistline would shrink if you exercised in the sun and took a vitamin D supplements!
