The American Academy of Dermatology, the largest and most influential dermatology association, recently issued a position statement regarding Vitamin D on the safest way to get it.
Follow up:
The Academy mentioned the following:
- a healthy diet which incorporates foods naturally rich in Vitamin D
- Vitamin D-fortified foods and beverages
- Vitamin D supplements
They also mentioned what’s not safe:
- unprotected exposure to UV (Ultra-Violet) radiation from sunlight (natural)
- indoor tanning devices (artificial)
According to Dermatologist C. William Hanke, MD, MPH, FAAD, President of AAD, “Individuals who intentionally expose themselves to UV radiation for Vitamin D are putting their health at risk for developing skin cancer.”
The Academy goes on and recommends that when we are enjoying ourselves outdoors, we should take steps to protect ourselves from UV exposure, for example:
- seek shade whenever possible
- wear sunscreen
- cover up with a wide-brimmed hat
- long-sleeves
- pants
- sunglasses
They also said to avoid tanning beds.
