Vitamin D

[Guest guest]

I just thought I'd share something I read in Golf for Women. The article

was called Boning Up by Garner. What she discussed was that one of

the contributing factors to osteoporosis was the fact that any calcium women

were getting wasn't getting assimilated into the bones, resulting in bone

lose. Vitamin D assists in the assimilation of calcium. Further, they

found that one of the contributing factors was sun screen. Apparently the

sunlight is a big source of vitamin D and even an SPF 8 reduces the amount

of vitamin D your body gets. Other natural sources were dairy and fatty

fish (whatever that is) Additionally they found that vitamin D reduced

chances of breast and ovarian cancer by half.
