Why Sunlight Is Important For Your Health


Hello Reader

We hope the transition from summer to fall or autumn is treating you to the same good weather and brilliant colours as we are experiencing in Ontario, Canada. Although, with our first frosty morning this week, we were somewhat envious of those of you in southern California who are still enjoying 90F days.

In our last newsletter on 3 September, we mentioned that we were taking a break from publishing video and audio episodes. We do not have a set date for resuming our publishing schedule; however, we will be sending out this newsletter every week with health ideas and news of developments in healthy living.

Health News

October is breast cancer awareness month. Research indicates that vitamin D, and more importantly, vitamin D naturally boosted by exposure to sunlight, plays a major role in protecting women from this type of cancer.

This article from Touchstone Essentials explains the importance of vitamin D.

Here is the link to an article from A Midwestern Doctor on the importance of sunlight as a protection against breast and prostate cancers. The article also looks at the effects of different types of lights on human health and makes a strong case for bringing back incandescent light bulbs.

Many women are concerned about undergoing regular mammograms because of both the exposure to X-Ray radiation and the discomfort. An alternative diagnostic procedure is thermography using a heat-sensitive camera. It does not result in X-Ray exposure and is more comfortable.

Mary Kubicewski explained the procedure as a guest on the show. Here’s the link.

Skincare trends followed concerns about the carcinogenic effects of too much sunlight, leading to widespread use of creams and lotions to block the sun. Now, there is more concern about the effects of some of the additives in those creams and lotions. Many people are looking for natural alternatives for their skincare.
