Vitamin D provides many benefits-it helps your body absorb calcium, it can help with mood swings, it boosts your immunity, it regulates your blood pressure, and it may even protect you from cancer. With that being said you are probably rushing out to buy a Vitamin D supplement.

There is no question that prolonged and excessive sun exposure can cause skin cancer . But does sunscreen prevent it? Surprisingly, sunscreen may actually be causing more harm than good.

Although most people know that they should use sunblock, the many dangers of the sun still seem to be overlooked. Skin cancer is now one of the most prominent cancers because people are not protecting themselves properly.

Each day without fail, we are exposed to pollutants. They are present in the air, in our homes, in our clothes, in the environment, and even in our work spaces. They affect our bodies in numerous ways such as damaging our skin, our hair, and breathing them into our lungs.

The doctor says to get vitamin D through sun exposure, but what happens when you spend too much time in the sun?

As summer approaches people are being exposed to more amounts of sunlight. Sunscreens, hats, umbrella’s and shade are all a high commodity right now, but there is an increasing push to get people taking in at least some sun.

How depressing is it to know that when the sun comes out we now have to take precautions before running to the beach for the day.  It's true though - there are more and more cases of skin cancer due to sun exposure.
