Very interesting lecture about sleep, healing, pain, and hormone D. Well worth watching! I've been watching over a few days cos it's quite long, but really interesting!!
*not laughing* Believe me. I am a chronic headache and sometime migrain sufferer as well. About 10yrs ago I discovered that RedBull cures a migraine (for me) and lessens the constant headache, so have been drinking it daily since.
The doctor talking is a neurologist, who sees a lot of headache and migraine patients. She discovered by accident that most of them; young, old, healthy and not, all had very low vitamin D. And that, in a lot of cases, when on vitD their headaches went away or improved vastly.
It is not actually a vitamin (which we get from food), but a very necessary hormone that our body makes under the right conditions. Specifically sunlight. BUT, with the arrival of sunscreen and rise of computers and aircon... no one is getting any. She even thinks the lack is contributing to obesity, as well as a host of other things.
Hope that helps. What I've watched so far doesn't make me feel bad or guilty at all. :)
