Fortunately conventional
medicine is getting wiser about all the health benefits associated with
getting the optimal amount of vitamin D. For example, it is now commonly
appreciated taht vitamin D can protect your
heart and lower a man's risk of prostate
cancer.
it's no surprise higher amounts
of it can help patients -- particularly those with respiratory problems --
breathe better.
Sunshine
is your best source of Vitamin D. Unfortunately, most of you
simply don't receive the daily amounts of vitamin D you need to
stay healthy. Since those of us living in the northern
hemisphere just finished going the shortest day of the year, it is
virtually impossible for most of us to get enough sunshine this time of
year.
Fortunately we are in the midst
of a radical revision of vitamin D understanding. The leading vitamin D
scientists in the world have changed their position within the last few
years and have started the warning sirens that most of traditional medicine
was dead wrong when it comes to sun avoidance.
As a matter of fact, statistics
show that avoiding the sun has likely caused an extra 50,000 cancers
per year, and that is just cancer deaths. It does not include heart disease
or autoimmune diseases like MS or rheumatoid arthritis.
With winter making an early
appearance in many parts of the United States and the days growing shorter,
however, getting the optimal amount of sun outdoors may not feasible where
you live. That why I recommend if you live in the northern hemishpere you
take a high quality cod
liver oil until early spring to boost your vitamin D levels safely.
