A Walk In The Sun for The Health of It | Health And Fitness

The
health of the public is being put at risk by recommendations to cover
up and stay out of the sun. These recommendations, which are part of
Cancer Research SunSmart program, increase the risk of several types of
cancer, and may also increase deaths from melanoma, the most serious
form of skin cancer.

Increased
exposure to sunlight or greater intake of vitamin D has been found to
reduce the risk of five common cancers in case/control studies. These
are cancer of the colon, breast, ovary, prostate and lymphoma.
Additional evidence based on differences in incidence of cancer in
northern versus southern states of America have found that some 16 or
more different types of cancer are less common in the sunny south.

For
example, the risk of prostate cancer, which causes some 100,000 deaths
a year has been found to be reduced by sunbathing. And sunburn in
childhood is even associated with a reduced risk of prostate cancer,
presumably because people who become sunburned have greater exposure to
the sun.

Some
50 per cent of people obtain insufficient vitamin D which increases
their risk of cancer and other diseases. Sunlight is the major source
of vitamin D. Only small amounts are obtained in foods such as eggs,
butter or margarine, meat, some breakfast cereals and oily fish.
Vitamin D supplements do not provide enough extra vitamin if taken at
the usually recommended levels.

So? grab a loved one and take a long walk in the Sun and soak up the rays of life.

Thank you for your patronage.
