- 4,000 IU of vitamin D a day are recommended for elders at high risk for falling to improve muscle strength and balance, though there is something that works even better.

Other studies in which vitamin D supplements have been put to the test in randomized, placebo controlled studies (effectively proving (or disproving!) their efficacy) are featured in videos such as Will You Live Longer if You Take Vitamin D Supplements? (nutritionfacts....) and Do Vitamin D Supplements Help with Diabetes, Weight Loss, and Blood Pressure (nutritionfacts.....

Please get rid of the "thump" in the jingle. I always put my speakers volume up to hear Dr. Greger clearly and then have to try and remember to turn them down before the loud "thump" blows my ears out.
This new way of presentation is a lot more dynamic than the previous ones ... I personally like it :) Keep it up!
Just want you to know, always great information! Thanks
Going outside for a nice walk in nature under the sun is a blessing: exercise and vitamin D ;)
Throughout history, Walking has been described by many as "the best exercise" and I am inclined to believe that it is.
Walking is so magical :)
Try the kora around Lake Manasorovar and Mt' Kailash in Tibet. Om Nama Shivaya! "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger." You might even develop some more red blood cells out of this particular high altitude exercise. I recommend World Expeditions.
Im guessing you are quite young lol
Yeah, for a 64 yr-old water dragon . I've been basically vegetarian since ' '71 after training with weights for three years in high school and getting all kinds of terrible dietary advice. Because of personal economics I usually only ate one meal a day before going on to understand the value of fasting from Arnold Erhet (Google online). I've worked too hard at low paying jobs and have injuries and am recovering from a recent cycling accident and a broken kneecap. In the long haul of the eternal moment we are all young, all ancient and all the one life now... Best wishes.
What about preventing winters?
I have learned that the minimum dosage is 1000iu/100lbs of body weight each day with as much time in the sun as possible is the best. Walking in the sun will do wonders for muscle strength and balance, not to mention our mood and attention span. Thank you Dr. Greger.
I like this motion graphic treatment a lot! It mimics how the eye zeros in on specific factors while reading scientific text. Well done.
The graph at the end tells it all: vitamin d plays only a minor role when compared to continued exercise while aging.
Both since those of us who live in cold climes, will never experience enough sunlight on our skin, even if we sunbathed in the snow. hahaha
new graphics are a little distracting ^_^
Excellent video, thank you.
sudden increase in slide presentation production quality
But I feel like the pace of the video slowed down a bit though
I noticed both of these things also. The 3-D animations, but he is also taking additional pauses, perhaps to let the information sink in for the slower viewers in the audience.
i really hate the change
Vegan Footsoldier there were a few comments back a while ago who complained that Gregor talked too fast so that may be the reason why.
I seems like a strange argument that he would have to speak slower because of the video. They could just run the movie at 1.2 speed or so when he put in the sound if he wanted to speak faster.
Please don't keep this new slide format. It makes it harder to read the studies and graphs.
I didn't like the new look graphic rotation of the studies. It's harder to read and dizzying.
I prefer the previous system's higher contrast between quoted text vs background; and with the journal, date, title, and authors staying prominently visible. The zooming and movement is off-putting. The new red circles and red-and-yellow hiliting's nice tho. More important are the videos' titles: I prefer titles to summarize rather than be click-baity questions.
17 years Raw .... no supplements for me, sunshine provides me all the vitamin D I could possibly need.
Ronnie & Minh I don't disagree, but not everyone has access to a lot of sun and you are lighter in skin color then most of the world's population.
Yes, true, I am only talking about me, my experience.
Thank you to you and the team (if you have one).
Incredible videos. Best way to present scientific information by far. Keep up the amazing work - am so thrilled to share your work with everyone. --Dr. Patel
wow, what a nice new design of presenting. You use a new software doc?
No, it's terrible! The pointless fades and motion make it harder to process the information. Useless, distracting clutter.
Before I have seen the video: Yes, I've read enough. Plus some exercise therapy looking at feet extensor and core strength will help too.
Don't like the perspective animations at all. It makes the text and captions unintelligible. And since many of the papers aren't Open Access, this is the only chance many of us get, to read the graphics.
Dear Dr. I've been getting nauseous from reading lately. What can it be?
I had the same reaction. The movement on top of trying to read...barf. Dr. G., it's time you learned a business lesson - graphic/website designers are useful for ideas and execution. YOU have to supply the guidance as to what's appropriate.
The audio in Your videos are so low I can hardly hear if I'm not in a library
Please indicate what vitamin D supplement is the best: D3 or D4? (Not sure of the name of the of the second one I mentioned.)
What about Pam popper’s video from a year ago?
today's graphics were nice , let's wait for other videos
Sweet new presentation tech
no esta completamente subtitulado :(
The new graphics were cool. I didnt like how the elongated pauses between sentences slowed everything down. It makes it a bit harder to follow. Waiting for that next sentence.
It's Nutrition Facts as read by William Shatner!
Haha! I literally laughed out loud.
Wish I could stop using bifocals. Wonder what vitamin D can do for eye muscles. Or as you say what kind of execise works for eye focus muscles.
I almost get motion sickness by this new slide presentation D:
Not a fan of the video changes, slow speech and it makes it really hard to read the studies. It may have jarring audio though to tailor for the older audience?
I love this channel!
This week has been the first one that was rather sunny this year, so I tried to buffer some D, since I heard it stores for about 10 days. Judging from this clip buffering any more would be unwise...
should this be a complete vitamin D of some sort? or D3 and D12
Fancy new editing. Looks pretty good, as long as you can keep it from making the papers illegible.
Fancy new editing there Dr. G!
I really hate the new change it making me feel dizzy. Please change back to the old video style
Sleek new style of presentation.
The unnatural pausing was distracting and I felt the info was too dense and drawn out. Nicely polished, but lacks the wit and charm of older vids.
dont get me wrong but what i dont particularly like about these "vitamin-d" studies is that they focus on vitamin-d much rather than what they should study on (imo) which is sunshine
for example if u live in cold climate and are in the sun all day at a latitude where u dont actually get much (or any) vitamin-d in my mind u should still benefit plenty from the sun exposure to the skin and eyes (even if u correct for good air and exercise/movement (possible other stuff?) that u get additinally when being outside)
Ive heard that not many vitamin D suppliments are vegan - how can you tell and what ones do you recommend?
You can tell because the vegan ones advertise it as vegan because they are much more expensive. If you look at the bottle you will see. If it says Lanolin in the ingredient list, then it is not vegan, it's from sheep.
Thankyou!
What is balance training?
Yoga is an example .... many "stances" involve balance!
If I take vit D at the bar will I avoid falling off the bar-stool?
Should you take it with vitamin k2 or doesn't it matter?
It's my understanding that with a plant-based diet, with enough variety, that K1 can be sufficiently converted to K2 where needed by the body.
If you're worried whether you have enough K1 in your diet than the information is a simple internet search away.
cool first
I take 7000 UI per day!
Lichtblick I take 3 dumps a day.
i get backpain if i take so high dosis
RitaLinx Lean forward while pooping and it will get better.
Lichtblick tenderising those muscles nicely!
Lichtblick I take 20000 IU every 3 days together with 300g of kale (for Vitamin K). Basically I am following Dr. Raimund von Helden in this and bumped up my vitamin D level to 100ng/ml before starting this regimen. Unfortunate his website and his book exist only in german language. Everybody in the german vegan youtube community knows him.
