Dangers of the Sun - Continued
Vitamin D, The Sunshine Vitamin
Vitamin D: Exposure to the sun provides the body with Vitamin D.
Vitamin D maintains the health and growth of bones and is vital to metabolic functions that directly affect the heart, nervous system and eyes. Vitamin D plays a regulatory role in the metabolism of calcium. Unlike water-soluble vitamins, excess Vitamin D is stored in the liver.
Vitamin D is commonly referred to as the ‘sunshine vitamin’. Hence, because it is formed when the ultraviolet rays of the sun hit the skin, changing a form of cholesterol, which is a precursor of Vitamin D in the skin, into cholecalciferol (D3, as well as other stronger members of the Vitamin D group.

Therefore, if you use sunscreens regularly, especially older and younger children, supplements of Vitamin D may be required. Perhaps the best supplementary source of Vitamin D is the natural product from fish liver oil.
Dressing for the Heat
-
Choose light colors. Although dark colors provide more protection
they also draw the heat.
- Wear tightly woven clothing; you want to seal out all possible skin
surfaces that the rays will attack.
- Don’t forget the hat, a nice wide-brimmed one.
- Choose sunglasses with ultraviolet protective lenses.
- Dress your lips with balm; they fry very quickly!
-
Avoid fragrances. Some can cause photosensitive reactions.

Exercise Smart
- Apply a waterproof sunscreen, not oil-based.
- Dress in light colors. These reflect the heat better than dark
ones.
- Adjust slowly to the heat.
- Always bring along replenishing fluids.
- Wear a hat, apply lip balm and clamp on those shades!
-
Try to exercise before ten in the morning and before 4 in the afternoon. Better
yet, aim for early morning and cooler evening hours. Not many things can top a
beautiful sunrise or sunset. These are the times of day that the sun shines
best!
