Another reason to supplement with Vitamin D--it fends off the flu and asthma.
This Japanese study showed that children taking Vitamin D3 were 58 percent less likely to catch influenza A. That's a higher effectiveness than any flu vaccine can claim!

An ex-colleague whose father than eczema told me that his doctor recommended that he walk in the sun every morning (before 10am) to absord some good rays to improve his skin. Apparently, it did help!
ReplyDeleteTake care to avoid sun which is too strong though - such as between 10am - 3pm. Sunrise and sunset rays are supposed to be better.
