1:29 Can sun prevent melanoma?
Today we’re going to talk about sun exposure and melanoma. On the one hand, there’s a push to have everyone avoid the sun. On the flip side, 69 % of the population has vitamin D insufficiency.
Research indicates that:
• Non-burning sun exposure is associated with a decreased risk of melanomas.
• Getting too much sun, like a sunburn, is associated with doubling the risk of melanomas.
• Outdoor workers have lowered incidences of melanoma than indoor workers.
Realize that vitamin D has a protective function that may help protect from the potential damage to your DNA that the sun can cause.
