CHAPTER 3:
HOW SUNLIGHT CAN PREVENT SERIOUS HEALTH PROBLEMS
This chapter explains the serious health problems you may suffer from if you don't get enough vitamin D from the sun. These include:- Breast cancer
- Colon cancer
- Diabetes
- Elevated blood pressure
- Heart disease
- Multiple sclerosis
- Ovarian cancer
- Osteomalacia
- Osteoporosis
- Prostate cancer
- Psoriasis
- Rickets

There is evidence that vitamin D insufficiency and deficiency is far
more widespread that was once thought to be the case. Each of the
medical conditions above are related to vitamin D levels in the body
and which are largely dependent on exposure to the sun.
