Vitamin Sunshine!
It’s Winter…before you slather that moisturizer with built-in sunscreen all over your face and neck…think about this!
According to U.S.News HEALTH: The sunshine vitamin D may protect against a a host of diseases, including osteoporosis, heart disease, and cancers of the breast, prostate, and colon. What’s more, sunlight has other hidden benefits—like protecting against depression, insomnia, and an overactive immune system.
If you’re fair skinned, experts say going outside for 10 minutes in the midday sun—in shorts and a tank top with no sunscreen—will give you enough radiation to produce about 10,000 international units of the vitamin. If you’re already tan or of Hispanic origin, you need maybe 15 to 20 minutes. Black skin may require six times the sun exposure to make the same vitamin D levels as a very fair-skinned person.
To stay beautiful you must be healthy and Vitamin Sunshine is one way to do it FREE!
