Vitamin D Can Prevent Disease
Saturday, 27 December 2008 15:38
The best way to get Vitamin D...the sun! Boosting your Vitamin D levels can help you avoid a deadly disease, as stated in the recent MSNBC article, 'Vitamin D Can Prevent Disease'. According to this article, doctors say there are now more than 2,000 studies showing the benefits of proper levels of vitamin D.
It has long been known that Vitamin D is important for bone health. It is now known that Vitamin D regulates normal cell growth throughout the body and is important in the prevention of many different types of cancer.
Vitamin D deficiency has reached epidemic proportions in American adults today. Vitamin D levels can be especially low during the winter months when outdoor sunshine isn't an option.
Humans make 90% of their Vitamin D from sun exposure - that's nature's design. It is difficult and impractical to try to obtain enough Vitamin D from diet and supplements. You would have to drink an entire quart of fortified milk a day, every day, to meet the current recommendation for Vitamin D. What's more, researchers are pushing for an increase in the Vitamin D recommendation by up to 10 times the current recommended amount.
The good news - Vitamin D is produced from UVB tanning lamps at The Sun Factory, 7 days a week!
