Rep Power: 35 | Healthier and happier in the sun This is a long article, the last paragraph is one of the best. I'll at least post the first and last. Healthier and happier in the sun Justin Thomas and Fatme Al Anouti
........ ....... Paradoxically, despite the year-round sunshine we experience here in the UAE, we too may be experiencing the consequences of vitamin D deficiency. Our modern lifestyles, disproportionate skin cancer anxiety, a scarcity of vitamin D-fortified foodstuffs, the widespread belief that fair skin is prettier than tanned skin, and numerous other socio-cultural factors may all be contributing to unhealthily low levels of the sunshine vitamin. We presently have a nationwide study under way to look at these issues in greater detail. The findings, we hope, will help us better target public health initiatives aimed at preventing this insidious health problem.
