Should the walk for the cure be out in the sun?

[Guest guest]

" Exposure to sunlight may decrease risk of advanced breast cancer by

half "

http://www.sciencecodex.com/exposure_to_sunlight_may_decrease_risk_of

....

 

" 'A research team from the Northern California Cancer Center, the

University of Southern California, and Wake Forest University School

of Medicine has found that increased exposure to sunlight - which

increases levels of vitamin D in the body -- may decrease the risk

of

advanced breast cancer.

 

 

In a study reported online this week in the American Journal of

Epidemiology, the researchers found that women with high sun

exposure

had half the risk of developing advanced breast cancer, which is

cancer that has spread beyond the breast, compared to women with low

sun exposure. These findings were observed only for women with

naturally light skin color. The study defined high sun exposure as

having dark skin on the forehead, an area that is usually exposed to

sunlight. " ........

 

 

..... " We believe that sunlight helps to reduce women's risk of breast

cancer because the body manufactures the active form of vitamin D

from

exposure to sunlight, " said Esther John, Ph.D., lead researcher on

the

study from the Northern California Cancer Center. " It is possible

that

these effects were observed only among light- skinned women because

sun exposure produces less vitamin D among women with naturally

darker

pigmentation. " .....

 

 

...... " Since many risk factors for breast cancer are not modifiable,

our finding that a modifiable factor, vitamin D, may reduce risk is

important, " said Sue Ingles, Ph.D., a co-researcher from University

of

Southern California Keck School of Medicine.'

Interesting post Vince.

 

We're getting a lot of conflicting advice these days:

 

- we need more sun exposure to produce adequate Vitamin D

- we need less sun exposure because of the risks of skin cancer and

the ageing effects of the sun

 

 

Is there any advice out there on how we are to strike a balance? How

much is enough, how much is too much?

 

 

Also - does anyone out there have any other references on the benefits

of Vitamin D? I've heard that there are links with deficiency and

asthma and depression... curious to know more.

 

Thanks

My GYN believes even tennis should never be played under the sun

because of skin cancer.

It is said that you should get at least 15 minutes of sun each day, preferably

without glasses as they change the light entering the eyes.

I take magnesium citrate and walk to and from work and so far everything is

good, or so I am told that I have the bones of a 30 year old, I will be 61 next

month.

The doctors have been lied to and trained by the PharmaCartel.

They are only trained to diagnosis disease and prescribe prescription drugs.

The system loves it when we are sick and running to the docs for drug

after drug, so they can take our last buck before we die the long

slow torturous death.

Humans have spent all of creation in the sun -- naked at noon even.

Cancer is a nutritional deficiency disease.

Protect yourself with food.

Sunlight is protective.

It is very important to get the UV rays on your skin and into your

eyes without glasses or contacts.

Penicillin killed more than infections, it killed the growth of heliotherapy.

The sun has been worshipped as a god and used as a therapy since the

beginning of recorded history. Heliotherapy, named after the Greek

god of the sun, was very popular throughout Europe until World War II

and the advent of penicillin and other drugs. Clinics were

established in leading European health spas to treat various diseases.

i think you are asking about balanced diet. wel always eat less than u can and

drink more water. we in india hav a saying that eat as if u drink and drink as

if you eat means chew more your food so that it becomes semi liquid in mouth

only and is easy to digest.

about vit d it makes our bones and teeth strong so can hav a little role in

asthma. abt depression there are many complex subs in body regulating it. thank

you. <vincemiraglia wrote:
