Harvard Professor Defends Sunshine, Vitamin D Link
Harvard Medical School professor Dr. Edward Giovannucci in an April speech to the American Association for Cancer Research spoke out about the proven link between sun exposure and vitamin D production..
He showed evidence that supports vitamin D's profound health benefits and that unprotected sun exposure helps the body produce the vitamin D it needs to keep bones healthy and ward off cancers and other ailments
For example:
According to one study, researchers found that men with high exposure to the sun had half the risk of prostate cancer than those with low sun exposure.
Another study found that high levels of vitamin D and calcium appeared to reduce women's risk of premenstrual syndrome, or PMS.
Editors’ note: More current studies continue to suggest that sunshine is a basic need for optimum health. I have written about this several times as it is becoming clear that sun avoidance is unhealthy, naturally, moderation is the key…
One major concern I have is the growing evidence that heavy use of SPF topical applications which are loaded with potentially hazardous chemicals may be damaging to your health.
This may be one of those occurrences where we find the truth some 10-15 years after the conventional wisdom says “always use a sunscreen”…The jury is out, but don’t be surprised to turn on the 6 o’clock news and find the conventional sunscreen wisdom to be repudiated...
Bet You Didn’t Know This Drink Can Help You Digest Better
Two new studies have confirmed that green tea extract can increase fat oxidation and improve insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance, even in healthy young adults.
In the first study, 12 healthy men performed a 30-minute cycling exercise before and after taking green tea extract. In the second, 11 healthy men took an oral-glucose-tolerance test before and after taking green tea extract. In both cases, their results improved after consuming the tea.
On average, fat oxidation rates were 17 percent higher, and insulin sensitivity 13 percent higher, after participants drank green tea extract, compared with taking a placebo. Want an affordable convenient way to get a super dose of pure green tea? Search no further, check this out
