The Myths and Facts of Vitamin D and Sun Exposure

Diana Clarke Unverified reports claiming that unprotected, intentional sun exposure is necessary for Vitamin D formation are getting quite a bit of media coverage lately. Yet, dermatologists standing advise the in the public eye to practice sun protection to prevent skin cancer. At a recent American Academy of Dermatology’s Skin Cancer Detection and Prevention Month news conference, dermatologist Darrell S. Rigel, M.D., clinical professor, spic-and-span York University Medical Center in spic-and-span York City, debunked the myths close Vitamin D and offered advice on getting an satisfactory dose of this nutrient. “As a dermatologist who treats the ravages of skin cancer on a daily basis, it is appalling to me that anyone in good conscience could make the claim that intended sun exposure – for any length of time – is beneficial,” explicit Dr. Rigel. “The fact is, skin cancer is incorporative at an forbidding rate and technological research confirms that our best defense is avoiding excessive, unprotected sun exposure.” Dr. Rigel addressed the following myths active vitamin D and sun exposure: Myth #1 – Sunscreen blocks Ultraviolet (UV) light. Consequently, UV radiation is prevented from reaching the skin, which leads to an inadequate amount of vitamin D in the body. Fact – A 1997 study published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute of patients with Xeroderma Pigmentosa (a disease that predisposes persons to skin cancer who are exposed to very low levels of ultraviolet radiation), showed that these patients have mean vitamin D levels despite negligible amounts of UV exposure. Myth #2 –A considerable amount of UV exposure is necessary to maintain normal levels of vitamin D. Fact – Normal vitamin D levels are preserved through a mean diet. Myth #3 – Sunscreen does not allow UV radiation to reach the skin, so if people wear sunscreen, their bodies can form vitamin D. Fact – equal the best sunscreen cannot block complete UV radiation. But the amount that does hit the skin is sufficient to promote satisfactory vitamin D formation. Myth #4 – Skin cancer is not a grave disease, so sun protection is not important. Fact – cardinal American dies all hour from melanoma, the most grave form of skin cancer. Myth #5 – Low levels of Vitamin D lead to much cancers and opposite diseases. Fact – “There are no technological studies that prove this statement,” explained Dr. Rigel. “The claim is supported on a study that finds that overall cancer rates are higher in the northeast cohesive States, a location with lower sunlight levels than galore other places in the country. Those making this claim conclude that since the northeast has lower UV levels, this is the reason why cancer rates are high in this region. However, several studies prove this theory is false. These include studies that show that cancer rates are contrabass in the north plain states (areas with the worst UV levels in the country) and small regional studies (New York state), where cancer rates are highest in areas with progressive pollutants and are not related to sunlight levels.” “When we take a close look at these myths and evaluate the facts, the course of action is clear,” said Dr. Rigel. “Until there is science that tells us otherwise, it is imperative that people protect themselves from the sun. Anyone concerned active not getting sufficient vitamin D should either take a multivitamin or drink a few glasses of vitamin D-fortified milk every day. Given the fact that the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has declared UV radiation as a known carcinogen, exposing oneself to it for the sake of vitamin D is not the answer.” The American Academy of Dermatology advises everyone to engage in the favourable sun protective practices:
  • avoid outdoor activities between 10 antemeridian and 4 postmeridian when the sun’s rays are the strongest.
  • seek shade whenever possible.
  • wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a Sun Protection Factor (SPF) of at least 15.
  • reapply sunscreen every two hours.
  • wear sun-protective clothing.

Sun Protection

Nitin Jain The skin has a defence mechanism against sun-damage, in the form of melanin. The production of melanin is expedited on sun-exposure. However, we have seen that this defence is not enough. That is why protection of the skin, with ingredients that block the sun's radiation damage, is so essential. These sun-block agents are incorporated into 'sunscreens'. Avoidance of the sun, specially at midday and in the afternoon, when ultraviolet radiation is at its height, can help to reduce the harmful effects. It is also unexpendable to know that ultraviolet radiation is greater near water bodies, like the seaside and where there is snow. Snow, water and even sand reflect the ultraviolet reays and thus increase their rffect. Exposure to the sun also causes moisture depletion and dries out the skin. Therefore, it is essential to step-up moisturisation, when you have been down of doors for a long time. The use of rehydrant cleansers, which contains aloe vera, can also help to control moisture loss. Aloe vera, like sandalwood, also helps to soothe and heal the skin. When you are tearful in the sea, or in an open-air pool, remember to apply sunscreen before and aft your swim. Protect yourself with a parasol whenever you are out in the sun. Remember, you are unprotected to ultraviolet radiation even on a cloudy day. More about sun care: http://www.ultimate-cosmetics.com/suncare.htm About The Author
	 	 

Facing Sun Effects

Roger Carr A secret has been revealed in the news over the past few weeks. I was a part of that secret. What was the secret you ask? Men are now using skin care products as a part of their daily activities! I started a few months ago due to something I scholarly about myself. I had my picture taken. Not retributory a standard picture. I had my picture taken with a special invisible camera and floodlit that shows knocked-out skin due to excessive sun exposure. First they took a picture of my face with standard light. Although not a ingratiatory picture, it looked like I expected. Then they took a picture of my face with the ultraviolet light. What did I look like? I looked like I had a face FULL of freckles. Only these freckles weren't the attractive ones that would have showed up in the archetypical picture. They showed that I have a significant amount of sun damage. I guess my early years of working and playing outside all summer long with infinitesimal or no sun protection is infectious up with me. It is common knowledge that sun damaged skin will cause immature signs of old skin (wrinkling, "leathery" appearance and feel, etc.) as healed as being a cause of skin cancer. So, I decided to do something about it. One of those things is to take better care of my skin. I am using skin care products that have a sunscreen built in. These same products also contain enzymes that can help speed cell renewal in sun knocked-out skin. Yes, the secret is out. I am using skin care products every day. My wife says my complexion is also better because of it. I look forward to having my picture taken in the future. Maybe my complexion isn't the only thing that is improving. About The Author
