pAs the sun is reaching in it is important to not only put sun lotion on but to also get out there and get some sun bathing in! The sun provides us with the biggest dose of vitamin D possible. Some doctors even prescribe people to go and lay out in the sun which will technically supply you with 10,000 times the amount of Vitamin D you actually need.!–more–br / br / It is hard to get your a href=http://www.quickvit.co.uk/ target=_blanknutritional supplements/a these days. After all eating healthy and living a pro-active life is not high on everyones agenda. But while the summer is here it is important to get out there and soak it up as it is such a valuable source of good vitamins that the body needs to function to its best potential.br / br / So how does this actually work? Well when the suns rays hit the skin, a pre-vitamin D compound is manufactured and transformed by the body into active Vitamin D. However many doctors out there are not promoting exposure to the sun. They all recommend to wear sun block to help prevent skin cancer. However, most doctors believe that this fear of the sun and its strength is contributing to vitamin D deficiency. The relationship between staying out in the sun and skin cancer is very complicated: Some researches would indicate that the Vitamin D protects against skin cancers, but stronger research shows a connection between melanoma and too much sun. This is far more recurrent than anything else.br / br / It has also been claimed that exposing your skin to the sun (whilst wearing sun cream of course) can be beneficial for your digestive system as well. a href=http://quickvit.co.uk/c-digestive-supplements/ target=_blankDigestive supplements/a have been known for years to aid the digestive transit but now doctors from around the world are claiming that the sun can help friendly bacteria grow from within the intestine. What will they think of next?/p
