Female vitamin D - sunlight and breast cancer
In
recent months, the media of all kinds - both in electronic as well as
standard (newspapers, television) can be seen a trend - there are more
and more information about the very important role of vitamin D for
health. But
a lot of these publications indicates the need for taking it in
supplement form, forgetting the most important and best source - the
rays of the sun. Fortunately,
you can also find information more reliable and not leaving suspicions
about motives which guided the authors of these messages.
Another medical authority, which highlights the need to maintain a high level of vitamin D in the blood is Dr. Christiane Northrup, known in the United States specializing in the field of women's health. It has released best-selling books including dealing with women's health - Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom, The Wisdom of Menopause, Mother-Daughter Wisdom, and The Secret Pleasures of Menopause.
Here is a summary of the article, Dr. Northrup, published in the online newspaper The Huffington Post:
Recent discoveries in the field of medicine leave no doubt - Vitamin D plays in the body much more important role than previously thought. Vitamin D is good not only for children, which protects against rickets and allow proper development of the skeletal system. Optimal levels of vitamin D in the blood of adult humans (40 - 80 ng / ml) to create healthy cells and keep them in good condition. Not only has a positive effect on bone health and strengthening the immune system, but also protects against many dangerous cancers - including breast, ovarian, prostate and colon. New research conducted in the United States show that it is possible to prevent thousands of cases of breast cancer were more women are cared for appropriately high levels of vitamin D in the blood.
The results of the experiments conducted by Dr. Cedric Garland and other researchers dealing with vitamin D have shown that women who witamny D level was 52 ng / ml had a half less likely of developing breast cancer than their colleagues who have this level was 13 ng. / Ml . Garland provides that through preventive action of vitamin D could be avoided every year 58 thousand. breast cancer cases in the United States.
To determine the level of vitamin D just a simple blood test. Five years ago, the standard is 20 - 100 ng / ml, the lower limit at present is increased to 32 ng. However, keep in mind that the level of "normal" does not always mean "optimal".
Women who are diagnosed with deficiency can complete it with supplements. At the beginning, you can take 5000 IU (international unit - international units) per day, and after adjusting levels - from 1000 to 2000 IU per day. It's hard to accept that amount of food. The average healthy serving of fish contains 300 - 700 IU, and milk (considered a good source of vitamin D), only about 100 IU per cup.
For some it may be a surprise, but the best and healthiest source of vitamin D is simply sunlight. Band UVB rays activate the body to produce vitamin that is stored in adipose tissue and used by the body as needed. During the summer and spring months the body can store vitamin D needed supplies for the whole year. This vitamin naturally acquired in this way will never reach toxic quantities. In other words - there is no possibility of overdose, regardless of how much time you spend in the sun. Taken in the form of supplements can be taken in too high doses, which may have a negative impact on our health. In summary - a reasonable contact with the sun's rays (reasonable - ie not supply to burn) is the most common and desirable. This is confirmed by the statistics - the closer to the equator, the less there has been a breast cancer cases, the level of sun exposure is therefore a huge impact on the incidence of the disease.
I encourage all women to regularly check the level of vitamin D and maintain its optimum value. It's very simple - just take each day at approximately 2000 IU supplements and remember to regular, safe exposure to sunlight. It is also a good idea to visit the sun-tanning salon where the devices are equipped with lamps that emit UVB rays. Both breast and whole body will benefit from this. This is the preventive medicine at its best.
Standard solarium is able to produce within 10 minutes in our skin 15,000 and more units of vitamin D. Remember that the vitamin is produced in a natural way and can not lead to its accidental and very dangerous to the health of an overdose.

Although our skin it produces natural moisturizing factor, but after long sunbathing needs the support of appropriate cosmetics. The cosmetics market after sun exposure is a whole bunch - from lotions, the creams, gels, masks and body mist spray. RECOMMENDED preparations are all based on hyaluronic acid and urea. Well, if after-sun cosmetic contains in its composition of collagen and elastin - substances known as "youth serum". Why? Well, the sun can contribute to degenerative changes in the fibers of collagen - which accelerate the aging of the skin - says Dr. Claudia Zwiorek-Czech, aesthetic medicine specialist in the Polish-British Institute of Aesthetic Medicine - Face & Body Institute.
How to care for your skin after sun to be beautiful, bright and gushing health? After returning from the beach is designated a summer shower - will alleviate the unpleasant feeling dry and pinched the skin and rinse off sand and salt residue. Shower not only provides a refreshing, but it will allow the skin to breathe. Leaving the body without a shower after exposure to the sun makes the skin begins to simmer, then will be plugged, and the toxins are in the body.
When with tan lines and there are bubbles
Tanned skin is a showcase of a good holiday - but if you look after the holiday on a heavily battered, which is a common accident, resulting from exposure to the sun, it is worth it then buy specialized moisturizing treatment. For dry and dehydrated skin will be perfect Biomorphose treatment. Biomorphose long moisturizes the skin, ensuring its freshness and nutrition, and for that perfectly relaxing. The treatment starts with relaxing massage, so that again you'll feel like the warm beaches of the exotic, even the farthest corners of the world. The cases used spirulinową water that has detoxifying effects, so that our skin will look rested and fresh. Also stimulates cell renewal treatment Algonative. Algonative is a program of protection and moisturizing. With the application of two masks, acts in two ways - relaxes and moisturizes, and tightens the skin, lifting and working - says Agnieszka Gomolińska cosmetologist from Krakow Face & Body Institute. Algonative is recommended as a preventive anti-aging, and this is good news for people who have recognized that, with tan skin appeared on the first pobruzdowania and blackheads. But these are not the only signs of an overdose of the sun. Every once occurred sunburn - do not panic time yet, burn, do not immediately mean that the odds of getting skin cancer. Burns should be treated as a warning. Local burn may mean that we have the genetic tendency to stain - then the dye is distributed unevenly in the skin or there is a local lack of resistance to the sun. Discoloration can be not only bad for our skin, but also health. It is important to specify the type of discoloration held, since some spots may develop melanoma - one of the most popular varieties of skin cancer.
Discoloration - unwanted holiday souvenir - how to get rid of stains and whether they are dangerous?
Discoloration of the skin are caused not only directly by solar radiation. There are also the result of photoallergic reactions of the organism. It is created under the influence of skin contact with certain substances, and also if the skin is exposed to ultraviolet light - resulting in redness and pigmented lesions. Such substances should be retinol, and many alcohol-based cosmetics. Going to the beach, if you do not want to have unwanted souvenirs in the form of pigmented spots, so give up the heavy makeup, and certainly do not wash it to a liquid containing alcohol in its composition. Particular caution in dosage sun should keep people who have acquired pigmentary traits - they are often taken for melanoma. This type of cancer can sometimes look like a normal "mole". To diagnose which signs are safe and which are not - you do not immediately sign up for a visit to the oncologist and perform a biopsy, just go to the cosmetics and dermatological center, which has dermatoscope. Dermatoscope a device equipped with a camera and special software that allows you to look at your skin and determine the nature and characteristics of signs. Dermatoskopy but have the disadvantage that the programs contained in them are not able to identify the type of dye. Using dermatoscope it is not possible to assess whether the percentage point change bezbarwnikowych, which also may develop skin cancer. More accurate results are obtained by SIA-Skopia - said Dr. Claudia Zwiorek-Czech .. So far, the only diagnostic apparatus operating on this principle is the Mole-Mate. This device enables the diagnosis of pigmented tumors and bezbarwnikowych, it also helps to assess the damage posłoneczne. This allows the doctor can precisely determine the type of therapy. Not all pigment patches are dangerous, so they do not need to cut, but they are very aesthetic. Helpful in getting rid of those safe, but unattractive stains can be laser. The light beam emitted by the laser penetrates the skin, and pigment - melanin absorbs the energy. So heated dye cells are broken down and removed by the body's own lymphatic system. The way to get rid of unsightly stains posłonecznych treatment is also using radio waves. Treatment Radiolase emitting radio waves of high frequency leads to the evaporation of various changes on the skin, while leaving no permanent scarring - says Agnieszka Gomolińska cosmetologist. If you are wondering how to take care of your skin after sun to be beautiful - diagnose it - because beautiful skin is healthy skin in particular.

Maintenance and diagnostics posłoneczną should always be used when you lay your skin to UV rays, not just when you get burned. Beautiful skin is not only an ebony color is above all a healthy and radiant complexion, without wrinkles and spots posłonecznych.
