Many People know that Vitamin D plays an important role in bone formation but not to many people are aware of Vitamin D's other important roles. Over the last couple of years scientific research has been piling up on Vitamin D's other roles like immune enhancement, cardiovascular health, mental health, reducing the risk of diabetes, and preventing autoimmune diseases.
The best way to get Vitamin D is from the sun (without sun screen) This is how we were designed to get it. Our skin acts like solar panels which convert ultraviolet energy into biochemical energy !!
During the fall and winter this poses a problem for us since most people are not living in sunny regions. Many people resort to Vitamin D3 supplements which are ok, but I prefer a better way; Full spectrum lights.
Check them out on Dr. Mercola's site
I just bought some Full Spectrum Lights and they feel amazing !!
