(HealthNewsDigest.com) - Vitamin D may be the superhero of vitamins. Dr. Zoltan Rona in his new
book, VITAMIN D The Sunshine Vitamin, refers to it as the “anti-death vitamin. Studies show that the risk of death from
all causes can be decreased 26% with vitamin D supplementation. Readers benefit two-fold. They can take immediate steps to
improve their own health. And they can again feel safe enjoying the sun.
Sun phobia, sunscreens, and spending too
much time indoors has resulted in at least 70% of North Americans being deficient in Vitamin D. This deficiency is one of
the root causes of a number of chronic conditions, including cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and a host of autoimmune diseases.

of these major illnesses and other common health conditions and can help prevent occurrence.

misconceptions about the right time of day for sun exposure;
