In the cal practice. sun. The simple reality — scientifi- cally proven — is that people need exposure to the sun’s UV radiation to facilitate the synthe- sizing of Vitamin D, essential for bone health at all ages. Vitamin D deficiency in children can lead to rickets, a condition where the long bones in the legs soften and bend as the child begins to walk, resulting in bow legs. In adults, Vitamin D deficiency may cause osteomalacia, a soft- ening of the bones that results in back pain, muscle weakness or osteoporosis with increased risk of bone breaks. The risk is particularly acute in Canada, which gets relatively little sun exposure compared to most places in the world that host human populations. Due to our higher latitude, there is small win- dow when Canadians can have Vitamin D synthesized by the sun — typically from late spring to early fall, around midday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. It’s at this time that the UV index is likely to be above three and your shadow is shorter than your height. Consider the challenges that tight window poses. More and more, Canadians are working indoors and spending less time outside than ever before. And even when we do venture outside, we are heeding the warning and slather- ing on UV protection sunscreen, which actually inhibits the syn- thesizing of Vitamin D with SPF 30 reducing it by 97 percent. I’m not saying don’t use sun- screen. You should never allow your skin to burn. But try and make some vitamin D first. Fif- teen to thirty minutes of sun ex- posure, depending on your skin type, is sufficient and then either apply sunscreen, cover up with clothing or get out of the sun. It’s not surprising that Statistics Canada reports 12 million Cana- dians, or 35% of the population, have insufficient vitamin D lev- els, including 10% who are se- verely deficient, which sets them up for higher disease risk. But it’s not just a Canadian prob- lem. Vitamin D deficiency is growing globally. While studies continue, the evi- dence is increasing that Vitamin D may play a pivotal role in protecting against cancer, heart disease, type 1 and 2 diabetes, multiple sclerosis, depression, dementia, colon and breast cancer Friday, Sept 18, 2015 www.updateweekly.com March 06, 201511 12 www.updateweekly.com Friday, Sept 18, 2015 RECIPES & JOKES Modak JOKES Modak is traditionally minutes for the mixture Expensive Gift!!!
