General Tips
New research has shown that vitamin D deficiency is an epidemic among American adults today, suggesting that up to 90% of North Americans are vitamin D deficient. This is especially significant because vitamin D deficiency is a leading cause of osteoporosis, a disease affecting 25 million Americans which leads to approximately 1 million hip and bone fractures every year.
In elderly individuals, such fractures are often deadly. Encouraging everyone to wear sunscreen all year long in any climate is undoubtedly contributing to this problem, as vitamin D is necessary for the body to properly process calcium. Exposure to UVB rays from sunshine is the body’s natural way to produce vitamin D, accounting for 90% of the body’s vitamin D production. Research has shown that people who utilize indoor tanning equipment that emit UVB rays, which most tanning equipment does, also produces vitamin D.
