In one of Mike Geary’s the Truth About Six Pack Abs compendium of articles deals with an extensive array of vitamins, supplements, and natural nutrients that can be easily obtained. Mike even goes so far as to discuss Vitamin D in relation to sun exposure. He indicates that he’s done a lot of research on the subject and, in fact, if we don’t get regular exposure to the sun, without burning per se, there are so many health problems that can result. Cancers, for example, can actually be avoided by regular amounts of sun exposure because our body utilizes Vitamin D as a helpful hormone to assuage most cancer risks.
His reasoning is that the sun is the giver of all life so, as has happened in the last decade or so, why should a person “hide” themselves from the sun. It has been marketed that the sun will kill a person so readily that living in caves seems to be the best option. In addition, he says it’s very difficult to obtain enough Vitamin D from dietary sources alone.
