Healthy Breasts For Every Woman

If you regularly read my newsletter, you will know that I have often mentioned the importance of Vitamin D.  Most women with breast cancer are deficient in Vitamin D.  It is very difficult to get Vitamin D through diet and exposure to the sun unprotected is by far the best way.

For years we have been told to keep out of the sun and put on sunscreens (many of which contain potentially harmful chemicals).  According to The Independent, Cancer Research have drafted a “position” statement to stress the importance of brief exposure to strong sunlight to boost levels of Vitamin D.

The draft says, ” The time required to make sufficient Vitamin D is typically short and less than the amount of time needed for skin to redden and burn.  Regularly going outside for a matter of minutes around the middle of the day without sunscreen should be enough.”

Cancer Research have said that this draft does not represent the charity’s official position.
