Doctors Tell Vitamin D Deficient Gwyneth Paltrow To Get Some Sun
“Although irresponsible sunbathing is unquestionably harmful and precautions need to be taken, regular, moderate, unprotected sun exposure is essential for good health. It is free, easy to get and good for you when used intelligently. It is the only reliable way to generate Vitamin D in your own body, which we now know to be an essential ingredient for optimizing health and preventing disease.?”
This quote comes from an article on Vitamin D Deficiency by Frank Lipman, MD, guest columnist on Gwyneth Paltrow’s lifestyle blog, GOOP.com.
The GOOP scoop is this: our favorite extremely health conscious, fair-skinned actress has been diagnosed with osteopenia, a precursor to osteoperosis, because of very low levels of Vitamin D. She’s avoided the sun for ages, following the general wisdom like many of us, but it turns out this was not very good advice.
Vitamin D is incredibly important. New studies show that some 15-20 minutes every few days should be spent in bright sun without sunscreen or cover. Huh? We were as confused as Gwyneth when these studies came out. But science marches on, and we don’t want to be left behind, developing bone disease, heart disease and low fertility rates. Now that we know, we’re ready to start making some Vitamin D, and you should be, too.

Some people simply do not have the same energy levels that other people do. This can be because of all kinds of things from your diet, your age, your weight, stress in your life, etc. Being tired is horrible. All you want to do is curl up in bed and take a nice long catnap. There is a way around this though and it does not involve taking OTC drugs, or any drugs for that matter and chances are if you are already reading this blog you may know what I’m going to recommend to you – a more natural and healthy remedy! Some people swear by prescribed drugs.
