Health Tip of the
Week
Get a Little Sunshine in Your
Life
Your body activates vitamin D from the sun faster and more effectively than
it soaks it up from food and supplements. But you know the trouble with that:
Sunlight is great for growing plants and yellowing newspapers, but it leaves
your skin vulnerable to skin cancer and wrinkles, and inflammation from burns
needlessly uses up your stem cells (better to have them to repair things like
your heart, kidney, or brain).
So what to do? Get some sun, but only a little bit. Just 10 to 20 minutes of summer sun gets you the D you need for the day (in much of North America, winter sun isn't strong enough to get D production going). Or use sunscreen and rely on vitamin D supplements. Take 1,000 international units (IU) of D3 every day if you're under age 60 and 1200 IU a day if you're over 60.
