Re: (sunlight- Vit D (was: Muscle aches and exercise)

Ok. You can be the guinea pig. I pass :-)))))

I'm convinced that most of us in the winter don't get enough sunlight.

Several people have posted that upon vacationing in a sunnier clime, their

sleep improved (whereas often in a strange bed, sleep is worse). In the

winter, our bodies are completely covered with coats, gloves, trousers etc

to keep warm. In the warmer months, our legs, arms and much more skin is

exposed (even if we vainer folks keep our faces covered or sunscreened for

protection) to create Vit D.

Just anecdotal, but I remember as a child, a visitor to our home telling an

amazing story about someone who had a breast lump - her doctor told her to

sunbathe her breast - and , the lump disappeared!!
