The Vitamin D Link

Since what seems like forever we've been told to stay out of the sun, to avoid skin cancer. However it's also noted that people in northern climates have higher cancer rates which has been linked to a lack of Vitamin D from the sun.

Now a four-year study out of Creighton University in Nebraska found that women who regularly took vitamin D3 had a 60 per cent reduction in cancer infections compared to a group taking placebos.

This is not to say that we should be going back to tanning oil and sunbathing rather 10-15 minutes of sun on the face and hands three times a week is probably a good thing.

Now get outside and get some sun.
