Over the last few years, I'm sure most have not heard much of anything that's positive about catching some rays and to me, that's pretty disappointing. Summer has come and gone here in Michigan so that means, cold, dull weather...Gross. For me personally, I know when the sun is out and I get exposure, I'm in a way better mood and I know that's probably the same situation for many others. Some may think we are crazy but, there are many articles that agree with my theory!! Here are a few if you're skeptical...

What you see nowadays are celebrities endorsing some sort of product with SPF in it saying to put it on everyday and that you want to avoid sun exposure. Since it's a famous person that said it, most believe it's true, that's a common theme among many different topics these days. Well, I have some awesome news for those who find this disturbing! A celebrity that believes in the power of vitamin D! Most everyone loves her and I am in fact one of them but, this makes me love her even more now, Jennifer Aniston! Now, don't judge me because I wasn't the one that found this wonderful interview but, it was a great friend of mine that did. It was on Perez Hilton and they had an interview on Jennifer Aniston's secret to skinniness. She explained:
"I stopped dieting when I figured out that you just have to eat regularly and properly within moderation. The fads are too much. I think it's really about - honestly, this is going to sound silly - going in the sun for 20 minutes a day is really important, vitamin D, because we are now having a vitamin D deficiency because of all the SPF. And I think being happy and smiling and laughing a lot."
That is one smart woman, if you ask me! Here is the rest of the interview if interested...

It's tough to compete with articles in the media right now that talk about how people may not need to take as much vitamin D and how it may not be effective as people think. But with studies and articles and interviews like Jen's that prove vitamin D can help reduce your chances of many different diseases and cancers and just to live an overall better life, hopefully the negative articles about vitamin D will go down the tubes. If people believe this negative theory on D, I feel it will do more damage than good. Here are some great studies and articles for you to read on vitamin D.

Everyone have a great week and be sure you get your vitamin D!
