Vitamin D Deficiency~This I didn't know.




Today, I am sitting at my kids karate classes reading Mother Earth News in between watching my 4 year old to my 10 year old trying to break boards and I happened upon a great article on Vitamin D deficiency. I never thought that living in Arizona I would have to worry about getting enough Vitamin D because of all the sun we get here. What I didn't know was that wearing sunscreen decreases your ability to produce Vitamin D by 95%. Wow!!! I had to share that with you because scientist are linking Vit D deficiency with the increase in Cancer, MS and fibromyalgia just to name a few. I guess I need to look into this more.
