Mr.
Sunshine
Templeton residents
who are as confused about when and how long sun expose is affecting their
health might be surprised to learn that the major factor to vitamin D
production and its health benefits are related to how high the sun is in the
sky. According to Dr. Mercola the
healthful rays are ultra violet B rays that promote vitamin D production from
cholesterol in our bodies. The
following ten-minute video by Dr. Mercola is helpful in explaining how vitamin
D is produced and how to check for proper sun location using the United States
Naval Observatory tables.
As you can see
there is a good deal of time when the sun is actually unhealthy for us. You can also see that according to Dr.
Mercola the idea of staying out of the sun during the noontime hours during
summer might be bad advice.
According to Mercola
it looks like the best time to get healthful rays from the sun are somewhat
opposite of what we have been told.
Mercola suggests gradually increasing sun exposure paying close
attention to avoid any burning during the time when the sun is above 50%
altitude.
Mercola points out
that from about mid September to mid March the sun rays in this area are not
beneficial and should be avoided.
Mercola also points out that even on June 21 the summer solstice.
beneficial rays are only available for about six hours from roughly nine in the
morning to three in the afternoon.
A direct link to the
United States Naval Observation link concerning altitude and azimuth of sun or
moon can be found here.
According to Dr.
Mercola vitamin D may be the most important anti cancer vitamin going for us
and getting it through proper sun exposure is key.
It is
interesting to note that not everyone is in agreement with sun expose and its
benefits. Unlike fluoride where
this hazardous waste material is mixed with our drinking water without our
consent sunshine can either be enjoyed when it is at proper elevation or
avoided.
Please do you
homework on sun exposure and fluoride exposure to optimize you own good
health.
