The Almighty Vitamin D To The Rescue

Did you know that adequate sun exposure could very well protect you from various kinds of cancers? Surprising isn’t it? This is very true and there are studies to prove it. Albeit the evidence that we have is still a little shaky but it is enough to infer that adequate Vitamin D is very much helpful in controlling free radicals in our body which are the most common cause for any kind of cancer.

Studies have also shown that skin cancer is largely associated with too much UVR exposure but then we are not going for excessive exposure here. This is very much controlled exposure to the sun and also very healthy in every respect. If we talk about clothes for sunbathing or Vitamin D clothing as we call them, they are designed for this very purpose. If they were harmful in any way, their popularity wouldn’t surge as it has over such a short period of time. People living in areas of the world where the ozone layer is a little damaged; have to face a higher risk of skin cancer. Also there are a large number of other cancers that originate due to too little sun.

For example, people who live on higher altitudes don’t get enough sun or someone living in a place that just doesn’t get enough of it or gets lesser sun throughout the year as compared to other places in the world is at a higher risk of contracting breast, ovarian and colon cancer along with pancreatic, prostate and other several kinds of cancers.

Impact Of Vitamin D On Cancer

According to one study done by an individual agency the impact that Vitamin D supplementation has on cancer rates is really an eye opener. Results showed that just by taking 2 to 4 times the daily recommended dose of Vitamin D3 and calcium one can reduce the chances of cancer by 50–77%. We would still like to point out the irony that we are facing while trying to get enough sunlight. Yes, we are talking about high sun exposure which is responsible for increasing survival rates in cancer patients and also if we go a little past our daily need of the sun we can really cause harm to our skin. Similarly, occupational exposure to sunlight also plays a key role in lowering the risk of skin cancers but extended exposure might not prove healthy in the long run. And then the irony kicks in again because studies show that most skin cancers occur on covered parts of our body. Strange yet true but then who says you have to bear the brunt of the sun?

This Is Where Vitamin D Clothing Comes In

SolTech Plus was the one that revolutionized the way we soak in the sun. They came up with a wearable technology that came with a vision. The vision was to make everyone healthy and keep away from Vitamin D deficiency which seems to be gaining a stronger foothold in the American society and various countries across the world. Do you know that close to 80% of our population suffers from this silent epidemic? Yes, shocking but true. SolTech Plus invented clothing to get sun and Vitamin D safely and without a hassle. Their UVTR™ technology (Ultra Violet Transmission Ray) does with flair what we can never think of doing; getting enough sun during winter!

Things You Should Know About Vitamin D Clothing

Winters Should Not Stop Us From Reaping The Benefits Of Exposure To Natural Sun Light The seed of this idea was planted on a cold, lazy winter day in New York where this innovation came by.

Getting Vitamin D Through Sunscreen Clothing is Possible

The sunshine Vitamin – Vitamin D is a natural Vitamin that your body creates when the sun rays hit your skin directly. When you wear clothes and don't let sunlight approach your skin, the body doesn't produce Vitamin D. However, with the availability of sun safe clothing and sunscreen clothing that is lightweight as well, many people have doubt that whether these clothes block the sun rays and stop the vitamin D process in our body or not. Direct exposure of sun rays onto your skin for 10 to 15 minutes a day for 3 times a week will give you the required Vitamin D that your body needs. As you grow and reach 50 years of age, the requirement of Vitamin D in your body increases. Vitamin D Sunlight Through Clothes Depletion of the ozone layer and rise of ultraviolet radiation directly on our skin give rise to many skin diseases and allergies.
