Safe Sunning
Vitamin D 101
Natural light should be considered a form of nourishment. Traditional health-care practitioners have regarded it as such and, prior to the publication of any substantiating scientific research, theorized that light is absorbed by the body and plays a vital role in all metabolic functions. Sun is a source of energy, and proper sunbathing is an indispensable therapeutic modality, and like exercise, one of the primary building blocks of health.
