Rep Power: 35 | By Gregory Plotnikoff, M.D. ...too little sun? Health Talk & You: Achiness may be due to Vitamin D Deficiency By Gregory Plotnikoff, M.D. (AXcess News) Minneapolis - Are you getting too much sun, or perhaps too little sun? Either may place your health at risk. Sunburns may cause skin cancer, but sun is the best means for your body to make vitamin D. Which is crucial for healthy bones and much, much more. In fact, too little sun increases the risk for many types of cancer, including breast, colon and prostate. Additionally, low vitamin D increases the risk for diabetes, hypertension, multiple sclerosis, bone marrow problems and many other serious illnesses. Who should be tested for vitamin D deficiency? People with persistent, unexplained musculoskeletal pain. Recently, researchers at the University of Minnesota demonstrated that people of all ages and races with muscle and bone pain have seriously low levels of vitamin D.
