Summer's here, and it's a great time to take in some rays of sun
for free Vitamin D synthesis in your body. Approximately 5-30 minutes of sun exposure twice a week
between 10 am and 3 pm (Google the National Institutes of Health Fact Sheet)
should be sufficient. For more info on Vitamin D, check out "Syl's Health Tips" below.

SYL'S HEALTH TIPS:Vitamin
D
promotes calcium and phosphate absorption in the gut to promote bone
growth,
modulates neuromuscular, immune function and reduces inflammation.
While on the topic of bone growth; did
you know that a natural way of preventing osteoporosis is by doing
weight-bearing exercises? Have you
ever seen old runners who have a caved in chest? It's a classic example
of lack of upper body weight-bearing
exercises.But, don't discount the benefits of running or aerobic
exercises! An article in the New
York Times (3/23/10)
written by Gretchen Reynolds titled "Exercise keeps cells younger; study
suggests" which compared young versus middle-aged (50 & over) professional
runners and their sedentary counterparts.
A 2009 Nobel Prize winning discovery of telomeres-tiny caps on the end of DNA
strands found that when cells divide and replicate DNA, the telomere cap is
snipped. If the cap becomes too
short, the cell either dies or enters a suspended state; so it's a reliable
marker of cell age. The
middle-aged runners' telomere loss was 25% versus the sedentary folks' which
was 60% (in relation to the young professional runners whose telomeres were no
different from their slothful counterparts). Regular exercise both weight-bearing and aerobic points to
the way to keep youthful.
