‘The Vitamin D Minder’
Daniel Wellard has just discovered a new app for mobile devices which informs you when the best time is to get vitamin D from the sun (without burning) in your area. It also times the minimum and maximum time to be in the sun and tells you …how many IU’s of vitamin D you got and tracks it. The app is free and is called ‘d-minder’Optimising vitamin D gives us many health benefits. There is recent and mounting evidence that links low levels of the vitamin to an increased risk of type 1 diabetes, muscle and bone pain, and, perhaps more serious, cancers of the breast, colon, prostate, ovaries, oesophagus, and lymphatic system. If you want to lower your blood pressure, vitamin D may be just what the doctor ordered. If you’re trying to reduce your risk of diabetes, or lower your chances of heart attacks, rheumatoid arthritis, or multiple sclerosis, then get your vitamin D status up!
