Carmel, CA Vitamin D Production Is Critical For Healthy Bones
by Richard Kuehn on 01/26/14
Most people don't have enough Vitamin D production, which is critical to having healthy bones. Doctors say the best source of Vitamin D is sunlight, however, getting too much sun can cause skin cancer. It's often difficult to figure out how much is too much, and I was glad to read that a new cellphone app has come out which helps with this. The dminder, made for the iPhone, tells you based on your location what is the best time of day to go out. When you are outside, you key this in to the app and it will tell you exactly how long to stay out in the sun to have the optimal amount of Vitamin D production. The app was based on scientific studies at the University of Boston and Robyn Lucas, a vitamin D researcher and professor at the Australian National University says he believes the apps methodology is reasonably legitimate, so for $1.99 it might be worth a try.
