The relationship between sun exposure and skin cancer risk isnt as straightforward as you might think. Genes are a factor, of course: Some protect, some promote. So is skin type: People with pale skin who sunburn easily and dont tan are more likely to get sun-related skin cancer. As for exposure, the dose and its timing are crucial. Several studies have suggested that suddenly getting a lot of sun is more dangerous then steady exposure over time.
The same DNA-damaging, sunburn-causing UVB wavelengths that sunscreens are designed to block also do some good: They kick off the chemical and metabolic chain reaction that produces vitamin D. Research shows that many people have low vitamin D levels. There is a well-documented relationship between low vitamin D levels and poor bone health. Now links have been made to everything from multiple sclerosis to prostate cancer. Linking low vitamin D with these diseases doesnt prove cause-and-effect, but it suggests that possibility. Getting some sun may also shake off the wintertime blues: Research suggests that light hitting your skin, not just your eyes, helps reverse seasonal affective disorder (SAD). Moreover, being outside gets us golfing, gardening, and engaging in other types of physical activity.
Although milk, cod liver oil, and supplements can supply vitamin D, solar radiation is still a main source for humans even at high latitudes, they said.
Vitamin D seems to protect against cancers including breast, colon, kidney, and ovarian cancers. Studies have also linked vitamin D or sun exposure to benefits in overall mortality, prostate cancer, multiple sclerosis, bone health, as well as the occurrence of cardiovascular events in hypertensive patients.
Researchers at the University of Massachusetts compared the diets of 1,057 women with PMS with the diets of 1,968 women reporting no PMS. The decadelong study showed that high levels of vitamin D and calcium appeared to significantly lower women’s risk of premenstrual syndrome. Previous studies had suggested that calcium supplements and vitamin D, which helps the body absorb calcium, might reduce the severity of PMS. The new study, however, published in the June 14 edition of the Archives of Internal Medicine, is the first to suggest that calcium and vitamin D may help prevent the initial development of PMS. Lead researcher Elizabeth R. Bertone-Johnson said clinicians should consider using vitamin D as an alternative to stronger medications commonly prescribed for PMS, such as antidepressant drugs, which can have substantial side effects.
