Got Sunshine?


Many people are suffering from something they might not be aware of. It affects about a billion people worldwide, yet treating it can be as simple as going outdoors. It's a health alert about Vitamin-D deficiency. The young, old and in-between all benefit from Vitamin-D. It's been found to reduce the risk of breast, colon and ovarian cancers. And new information indicates that lack of Vitamin-D may be linked to depression and other psychiatric illnesses. Unfortunately, our modern lifestyle of spending our days inside in front of a computer screen is contributing to 60% of Americans are deficient in Vitamin D.

We've talked about this issue before on Family Matters Radio, but it seems that every month new research finds additional links to Vitamin D and overall health. So, we wanted to know more.

This weekend on Family Matters Radio, we'll revisit our conversation with Dr. James Dowd, author of The Vitamin D Cure. He shares with us new details about the Vitamin-D connection to our health and well being.
