(HealthNewsDigest.com) - Vitamin D may be the superhero of vitamins. Dr. Zoltan Rona in his new book, VITAMIN D The Sunshine Vitamin, refers to it as the “anti-death vitamin. Studies show that the risk of death from all causes can be decreased 26% with vitamin D supplementation. Readers benefit two-fold. They can take immediate steps to improve their own health. And they can again feel safe enjoying the sun.

Sun phobia, sunscreens, and spending too much time indoors has resulted in at least 70% of North Americans being deficient in Vitamin D. This deficiency is one of the root causes of a number of chronic conditions, including cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and a host of autoimmune diseases. Completely referenced, Dr. Zona cites cases and studies that demonstrate how vitamin D supplementation can aid in the healing of these major illnesses and other common health conditions and can help prevent occurrence.

Diirect sunlight is still the best source. Fears of sun exposure contributing to skin cancer can be laid to rest. The latest research shows that survival rates from melanoma can actually be improved with safe exposure to the sun. Additional topics addressed include:
misconceptions about the right time of day for sun exposure;
what supplements afford the best protection;
the pros and cons of sunscreens;
how vitamin D interacts with prescription drugs;
why the recommended dosage of vitamin D is increasing.

Vitamin D shows us that being able to improve our health safely and naturally is now a much more viable option.
