using a screen resolution of 1280 by 768 pixels You require 20 minutes of direct uv rays over 20% of your body, three times a week in order for your body to produce Vitamin D....That's mighty hard to accomplish during winter in Wisconsin... You Need Vitamin D ... We've got it !!! CONGRATULATIONS to Dr. Michael Holick who recently received the LINUS PAULING PRIZE for HEALTH RESEARCH. Dr. Holick is recognized as a world renowned nutritional biochemist/physician; and the world authority on photobiology of vitamin D through synthesis in the skin. His research has demonstrated how vitamin D deficiency increases the risk of cancer, autoimmune diseases, infectious and cardiovascular disease, and preeclampsia in pregnancy. His work has led to the vitamin D fortification of many foods. Read the article: http://www.bumc.bu.edu/busm-news/2009/05/18/holick-receives-linus-pauling-prize-for-health-research/ There is NO better way to make vitamin D than the efficient and natural way...from UV exposure to the skin. Without UV exposure, a supplement of 5,000 units daily is necessary...that is 50 glasses of milk or 10 tablets of a multivitamin...Neither is advisable. Vitamin D deficiency is epidemic in adults of all ages ... 60% of people with Type
2 Diabetes have vitamin D deficiency...
85% of the American public may be deficient... 95% of U.S. seniors may be deficient...
Remember ... Protect your eyes for both indoor and outdoor tanning. Just closing them is NOT enough...neither is covering your eyes with a towel. Good rule of thumb: if water can penetrate, so can UV rays. UV rays may lead to cataracts which can cause temporary or even permanent blindness. NOT WORTH IT !!! Take protective measures for your body art. Once a tattoo has healed completely, it will continue to lose brilliancy whether tanning indoors or outdoors. Cover the entire area with a tissue or SPF 15 or higher...or use specially formulated tattoo balm stick. About lotions and moisturizers ... Using a moisturizer or tan extender lotion that contains aintioxidants will help with the melanin oxidation which is what causes your skin to darken. Also, these antioxidant lotions help maintain the skin elasticity and a more youthful appearance. Tanning with a professional tanning lotion can increase your tan up to 40% AND helps to keep your skin hydrated so you maintain your color longer!! This ultimately lets you save money by achieving more color per session...thus tanning less often!! HINT: It is recommended that you wait 1 to 4 hours after tanning to shower, if possible. |
