In this short video, I want to explain some things about vitamin D and inflammation. How does vitamin D reduce inflammation? The first thing you need to know is what inflammation is. 

Inflammation is the immune system’s response to a stimulus that is viewed as foreign or toxic to your body—also known as an antigen. This is a defense mechanism. Inflammation mobilizes your body’s defenses, also known as white blood cells. 

However, there are cases when your immune system overreacts or underreacts and causes too much or too little inflammation. For instance, with joints, your immune system may boost inflammation that causes pain and stiffness.

Inflammation is caused by inflammatory chemicals, including cytokines, prostaglandins, and leukotrienes. These are messengers that help trigger the white blood cell army and how many of the white blood cell “troops” need to be immobilized. 

If your immune system miscalculates the number of white blood cells to send out, you can create too much collateral damage—this is what happens in autoimmune diseases. Your own immune system can actually attack and destroy parts of your body. 

The problem is when the immune system does too much or too little. 
 
So why is vitamin D important? Vitamin D is an immune system modulator. It helps regulate the immune system so it doesn’t cause too much or too little inflammation in the body. 
 
I recommend taking 20,000 IU+ of vitamin D.
