A FEAST FOR THE EYES

There are some other articles on this, I just wanted to add this one to show there are sites out there mentioning daily the benefits of UV for your health.
The source is BodyTalk ezine: http://commongroundmag.com/2007/08/bodytalk0708.html
A feast for the eyes
The leading cause of blindness among older adults in the U.S., age-related macular degeneration affects millions of Americans over 40. There’s no cure for the disease, but two new studies from the Archives of Ophthalmology suggest that choosing the right foods may protect your peepers.

The first study looked at data on 7,752 people, finding that those who consumed the most vitamin D had a 40 percent lower risk of early AMD than those who had the lowest vitamin D intake. The study’s authors speculate that vitamin D—available in fortified foods, eggs, and fish and produced by the body during sun exposure—may prevent early AMD by curbing inflammation or by inhibiting the growth of new blood vessels in the retina.

In the second study, researchers assessed 4,519 adults ages 60 to 80 and discovered that those who ate more than two four-ounce servings of fish weekly had the lowest risk for advanced AMD. Rich in inflammation-taming omega-3 fatty acids, fish may promote proper blood vessel function, the study’s authors note.
