Rep Power: 0 | D is for Defense Vitamin D is a powerful nutrient. Compelling research has shown it can reduce the risk of several medical conditions, including osteoporosis, gum disease, diabetes, arthritis, multiple sclerosis, and YES, even certain cancers. Here are three things you can do to ensure you're getting enough. 1. Incorporate vitamin D-rich food into your diet
Because there are limited food sources for vitamin D, it's a good idea to consider supplements. As always, check with your personal physician before taking anything new.
Our bodies produce their own vitamin D through exposure to sunlight. However, too much sun can damage the skin and increase your risk of skin cancer. Speak with your dermatologist about the safest way to get some sun. All you need is about 15 to 20 minutes a few times a week (optimally before 10 AM and after 2 PM). Remember to wear sunglasses and a rimmed hat to protect your eyes and face. Hey, at least they mentioned sun! |
