Important New Health Benefits Of Vitamin D especially From The Sun

Terri is a registered dietician, and knows the importance of keeping her bones healthy - she even exercises at work so her diagnosis came as a surprise.
Terri Verason: "There are no, no symptoms at all."
Terri's doctors said vitamin D is critical for her health -- and she's not alone. More and more research finds vitamin D, especially straight from the sun, is critical in preventing a host of diseases.
A 20-year national health survey found sunlight exposure and vitamin D were associated with reduced risk of breast cancer -- and a Harvard study linked having your surgery for lung cancer in the summer to better results -- that's just the start.
James Fleet, M.D., Nutritionist: "Diseases like diabetes, MS, immune diseases, basically, a higher vitamin D status is a good thing for all those."
